Silver filled wire is quite new, I believe. It is similar to gold filled. Although gold filled usually has a brass core, not copper like the silver filled.
Fire Mountain Gems says it is "wire made of a durable outer layer of sterling silver bonded to a copper core." It comes in may gauges and tempers. As with any filled or plated wire you have to be careful with your pliers not to nick the plating or the core will show through. Then you have to scrap it and start over.
It is supposedly cheaper than sterling. I would rather pay the extra couple bucks and get the real thing. Gold on the other hand is different with the prices soring higher and higher, gold filled makes sense.

Did they ever place diamonds or precious stones in a sterling silver setting?
Sure. In the past people would not see diamonds set in silver or turquoise in gold. Now you see both, though not very common. Turquoise has been found in silver in the South West, thus associated with silver. Sterling Silver is a bit soft for setting diamonds, thus the setting either has to have some gold in it, or copper or be very heavy ( the prongs) of something to make up for the softness of the sterling. Thus the exact same style that you see done in gold could not be done in sterling . That does not exclude the combination though

Does Sterling have a resale value?
The worth of sterling silver at any one point is relative to the silver spot price. This figure is the amount per ounce or per gram that buyers can pay for a given security - in this case, sterling silver - at a specific time and place. Spot price changes over time, meaning the worth of sterling silver in one particular month isn't usually the same as its worth just 30 days earlier. Bulk trading that takes place at a COMEX (commodities exchange) has a significant influence on the spot rates of precious and semi-precious metals, including silver. The spot price is only a benchmark for the worth of sterling silver. Often, buyers and sellers use this number as a baseline to gauge what they're actually willing to pay for the commodity. As you'll find out soon, the sticker price is hardly ever the final sale price.
