Silver is one of the earliest metals discovered and mined by humans, alongside gold, copper, lead, and iron. Archaeological finds show that silver artifacts date back to around 4000 BCE, highlighting its long-standing place in human history—nearly 6,000 years of use in crafting beautiful and functional objects.
Historically, silver served not only as a precious metal for jewelry and currency but also held special value in many cultures. For example, in ancient Egypt, silver was sometimes considered more precious than gold.
Silver's natural antibacterial properties made it ideal for storing liquids like water, wine, and vinegar in silver vessels, helping to preserve their purity. Many ancient societies believed silver jewelry possessed healing powers, brought good luck, and could ward off evil spirits.
In alchemy and mythology, silver is closely associated with the moon. The term lunar reflects this connection. Greek mythology tells of Artemis, the moon goddess, who traveled across the sky in a silver chariot, shooting silver arrows with her bow.
