silver threads
Signs of aging
Silver threads are strands of gray or white hair, especially when appearing among darker hair as a sign of aging.
The phrase is poetic and affectionate rather than clinical: silver threads among the gold.
In literal use, silver threads are metallic fibers used in embroidery or textiles.
