A chemical element with atomic number 47. Silver has been known from antiquity. Dumps in Asia Minor show that humans began mining silver as far back as 3,000 BC. The name silver is derived from aregentum, Latin for shining. Symbol: Ag. Synonym: argentum. Related to transition metals.
A versatile metal, silver is used in multiple applications including jewelry. It is found in ore and is often associated with other metals. Second only to gold, silver is valued for its malleability and ductility as well as its high luster. Pure silver is often too soft for use in jewelry so it is often used with other alloys.
A valuable metal with the symbol Ag. The symbol Ag is derived from its latin name Argentum.

A lustrous white, ductile, malleable metallic element, occurring both uncombined and in ores such as argentite, having the highest thermal and electrical conductivity of the metals. It is highly valued for jewelry, tableware, and other ornamental use and is widely used in coinage, photography, dental and soldering alloys, electrical contacts, and printed circuits. Atomic number 47; atomic weight 107.87; melting point 960.8°C; boiling point 2,212°C; specific gravity 10.50; valence 1, 2.
A chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Ag (from the traditional abbreviation for the Latin Argentum) and atomic number 47. A soft white lustrous transition metal, silver has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of any metal and occurs in minerals and in free form. This metal is used in coins, jewelry, tableware, and photography.

coat with a layer of silver or a silver amalgam; "silver the necklace"
having the white lustrous sheen of silver; "a land of silver (or silvern) rivers where the salmon leap"; "repeated scrubbings have given the wood a silvery sheen"
an inexpensive, beautiful, white metal. However, silver tarnishes and needs a protective coating.
Is often alloyed with other metals like copper. It tarnishes after exposure to air and is often found near copper lodes.
metallic element cast or formed for jewelry as an alloy with copper and other traces to add hardness, see sterling. Reacts with sulfur (sulphur) in the air to cause tarnishing.
A popular jewelry metal for centuries, pure silver (.999 pure), plentiful in supply and therefore much less expensive than gold, is usually mixed with a base metal to make it more durable for jewelry making.
a white colored, soft, shiny metal, commonly used in jewelry. Like gold, silver is available in different levels of purity: the purest form, Fine silver, is 99.9% silver; Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, with other metals (usually copper) making up the remaining 7.5%; Coin silver is 90% silver with 10% copper. Nickel silver is an alloy of copper (65%), nickel and zinc - no silver at all.
a soft white metallic element that takes a high polish and is a better conductor of heat and electricity than any other material.
Ag precious metal one of the earliest known metals contained in earth's crust at a concentration of 0.1ppm and in seawater at 0.01 PPM.
Silver is a white or chrome-colored precious metal that is 999/1000 pure in its natural form and too soft for practical use. Sterling silver is typically a shiny mixture of pure silver and a metal alloy used for jewelry.
A shiny grey reflective precious metal used from the beginnings of coinage to the present day, although now largely replaced by base metal.
A white metal commonly found associated with lead ores. Also found in the oxidised zones of ore deposits and in hydrothermal veins.
intensely white with dark markings, may be spotted or marbled. Usually very high contrast as kittens and lose intensity as they mature.
A metal used in some medications and in many "natural" remedies, as well as in silver amalgam for filling cavities in teeth. Silver has antibiotic properties. However, overuse of silver, or use of products containing silver by people with certain health conditions, can result in silver poisoning (argyria). See the entire definition of Silver
White highly reflective metallic element, used in Victorian times for diamond setting, before the development of white gold alloys, and before platinum could be isolated.
Malleable and abundant metal that tarnishes easily and requires care and cleaning more often than other precious metals.
The most reflective of all the metals (besides mercury), silver is a precious metal that can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, the chemical symbol for silver, Ag, is derived from the Latin word argentum, meaning 'white and shining.' It is extremely malleable and resists oxidation from exposure to the atmosphere. Silver also has the highest thermal and electric conductivity of any substance. It is widely distributed in nature, but the total amount is quite small when compared with other metals. Unlike gold, silver is present in many naturally occurring minerals. Silver can be polished, matte, brushed, satin, sandblasted, oxidized (blackened using chemicals) or antiqued.
A fairly soft (2.5-3), very heavy (density 10.5), ductile and malleable metal. It is the best known conductor of heat and electricity. Silver is mainly used in photographic paper and film, followed by the electronics and jewellery/tableware industries. The chemical symbol for silver is Ag.

Silver is a fine, silver-white metal often used in jewelry. Pure silver has a hardness of 2.5. Other metals are alloyed with silver (usually copper) for silver used in jewelry making. Silver tarnishes after exposure to air (a thin layer of silver-oxide forms on the surface). Silver often occurs near copper lodes.
often incorrectly referred to as solid silver, sterling silver is 925 parts pure silver and 75 parts alloy, usually copper. Continental silver varies from .800 to .833. In England, 925 is always called silver, not sterling.
A white metallic element that is sonorous, ductile, very malleable, capable of a high degree of polish, and that has the highest thermal and electric conductivity of any substance.
