The above ayaat are from Surah az-Zukhruf (The Gold Ornaments). Generally, it can be observed that, prosperity is inversely proportional to religious convictions and humility to God. Historically, as civilisations have progressed, people have rebelled against divine commandments, and have drifted away from religion.
Many mighty civilisations have built upon this Earth, the ruins and relics of which inform our imagination of their luxurious lifestyles.
As we are again in an upward, accelerated mode of technological advancement, silver, and products contain silver, are increasingly finding applicability in a range of technologies. ...
At the same time, we are observing people losing faith in God, changing laws to legally allow what God has made illegal. Our civilisation is also on notice. We have been warned of The Hour, and it has been foretold that many will reject God's commandments as The Hour approaches.
In the Hereafter, the people whom Ar-Rehman (The Merciful) places in The Gardens will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and will drink from glass made with silver.

Royalty used it for security against poisoned food, as silver tarnishes upon contact with some poisons. Modern research has established the potency of silver as the only agent known to destroy all bacteria, viruses and fungi. Research is ongoing, and safety of silver usage in food and as medicine is being debated. Transparent silver nano wires are being used in electronic devices. Silver is being advocated as the ideal material for a range of applications. Transparent silver crockery may not be far behind.
