Usage notes
- Use argento for the metal and the color. For silverware, Italians often say argenteria, not just argento.
- As a color adjective, use argento invariable after a noun in many contexts: capelli argento, scarpe argento.
- For medals, say medaglia d'argento. Argento alone can also mean a silver medal in sports headlines.
