molten silver

Heated precious metal

Molten silver is silver heated past its melting point into liquid form.

The phrase appears in metalworking and jewelry-making contexts: The craftsman poured molten silver into the mold.

Figuratively, it describes things with the bright, fluid appearance of liquefied metal: Moonlight lay across the water like molten silver.
