-Having the qualities of silver. Sometimes used to figuratively describe purity or sleekness.
I don't too much care for "sss" sounds usually, but something about the sibilant sound of silvery combined the the soft buzzing v and the lightly rolled l just speaks to me (the same can be said of Sylvan or Sylvia). Silvery says exactly what it is, whether it's describing a vision, a texture, or a voice. It evokes pure silver with (to me) a hint of the palest green lightly reflected. It whispers in my ear as clear as the finest silver bell and slides almost unfelt across the back of my hand. To be silvery is to show no hint of brass, though it may well imply the steel frame beneath.
