The chains are described as "silver" or "silvery", but their exact composition is unclear. [[Raboniel]] was immediately shocked at the sight of a Threnodite chain on [[Roshar]]{{book ref|sa4|60}} while [[Kaladin]] failed to notice anything unusual about a chain that he saw in [[Shadesmar]],{{book ref|sa3|102}} implying that the chains have distinguishing characteristics that are not obvious to every observer.
On [[Lumar]] silver renders [[aether spores]] and materials inert,{{book ref|tress|1}} upon coming into contact with silver, spores turn a dull grey and die, losing their reactivity with water.{{book ref|tress|10}} A silver knife can also sever a [[Luhel bond]].{{book ref|tress|31}}▼
Due to the aether-resistant properties of silver, ships on Lumar are partially coated in it on the deck and railings.{{book ref|tress|8}} They are also used in spore cannonballs in order to more accurately control when they release their spores and water.{{book ref|tress|41}} Ships also have silver-edged axes on board, which crewmates can use to break away Verdant vines holding the ship in place.{{book ref|tress|48}}▼
Some spores, such as Roseite, better resist the effects of silver.{{book ref|tress|26}}▼

====Roshar====
On Roshar, silver could potentially be used to permanently kill [[spren]], unlike aluminum.{{wob ref|15671}} A silver-nickel alloy houses the [[polestone]] on the pommel of at least one [[Raysium]] dagger used by the [[Fused]], but the metal does not affect the dagger's function.{{file ref|Navani's Notebook - Dagger.jpg|Navani's Notebook - Raboniel's Soul-Harvesting Dagger}}
