"Inlaid" can have two different meanings relative to silver. First, silver inlay may refer to silver plate over a base metal. If the item isn't stamped .925 or "sterling," then the term refers to a form of silver plate. The silver content is very low (not reclaimable). Sterling silver must contain 92.5 % pure silver, usually mixed with 7.5% copper. Sterling silver is an alloy; the metal is homogeneous throughout the piece. "Inlaid" can also mean the silver is set into wood or another metal so that it forms part of the item's design, or is carved or molded so that precious or semi-precious stones may be set into it (usually refers to jewelry). You will need to consider the context in order to decide how the term should be defined.
