'Layered' is a fancy term for plated. It basically means that the item is not solid silver, it merely has a very thin coating of silver over a cheaper metal.
The '999' refers to the purity of silver using the 'Millesimal fineness' scale. 999 is essentially 99.9% silver - i.e. very pure.
Regardless of how 'pure' it is though, if it is 'layered', there is practically no silver there at all and consequently you should not pay anything like the amount you would if the item were solid silver.
