Typically, silver filigree is enough to qualify as a ‘silvered weapon’ for those purposes. The idea is that the silver acts like a poison to the affected creature, not that the whole blade needs to be silver. Also, solid silver weapons unless magical, do not survive combat as the metal is not hard enough.

Of course, even with plating over a proper steel weapon, silver can't hold a good edge. Which is why most games have silvered weapons take a damage penalty.
