Hello, thank you for your interest. Let me help you define the word silver- tone, as used in my description of this auction. Definition: Silvertone jewelry has the look of silver but contains no actual silver metal. Compared to sterling silver jewelry, silvertone jewelry is less expensive and less long-lasting. It is made by dipping a metal piece of jewelry in a silver-looking substance that coats and hardens as a top layer. Silver plate, another silver look used in jewelry, can contain as little as 5 percent actual silver in a coating used over another metal. I use the word silver-tone when I am unable to see or find a marking of certainty. I hope you have found this helpful : )
