They later spread to the common people. The shine of silver is also considered sacred, and it has a meaning of warding off evil. Because it discolors with poison, silver products are often used in tableware and rings, and there are many customs of giving them to loved ones and passing them down. Sending silver products to a bride is one such custom. Giving a spoon to a baby means they will never be in want of food and will be protected from evil. Rings and necklaces also have this meaning. Religiously speaking, the Holy Grail is made of silver, and it is often used as a cleansing cup. Tiffany, which everyone knows, is also a brand with many silver products.
