silver spoons
Heirloom dining utensils
Silver spoons are eating utensils made of silver, traditionally associated with wealth and privilege.
The phrase born with a silver spoon in one's mouth describes someone raised in affluence, with advantages from birth.
Silver spoons suggest inherited rather than earned prosperity: He's never worked a day in his life—pure silver spoon.
