Answer

Hello canasta,

"Silber"  means "silver" . It is a noun.

"silbern" is the adjective and it means "silvery"
or an adverb as well .
Examples:
Silber (noun)
Die Kette ist aus Silber .
The chain is made of silver

Silbern ( adverb)
Die Kette schimmert silbern.
The chain has a silvery gleam.

Silbern ( adjektiv)
Ihre silberne Kette gefällt mir sehr.
I like her silver chain very much.
