Sterling silver filled jewelry is beautiful and durable. You'll find examples of pure silver jewelry, but pure silver is soft and isn't practical for daily wear. Silver-filled is sterling silver that is mechanically bonded to a base metal. This is a physical bonding, rather than silver plating, which is much thinner and weaker. In order for a product to be considered silver-filled, it must have at least 1/20 of its weight in silver.
The stones are laboratory created, but their properties, chemical, optical and physical, are identical to that of naturally occurring stones. Man made gems are much hardier than their naturally occurring cousins, not so subject to temperature change, drying out, cracking or grazing.
