Ever heard of sterling silver filled wire?
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.
