Silver is not chemically active. It is considered INACTIVE hence its use in jewelry making:I wonder what are the 'dangers' of the active metal qualities and what it is about it that makes it not good to be stored with gold? Do they change the gold? hurt the gold? does the gold hurt the silver? etc.
Inactive metals are metals that find great difficulty to react with oxygen such as silver, platinum, nickel, gold and chromium. Silver and gold are used in making jewels because silver and gold are chemically poor active.
The classification of metals according to their chemical activity | Science online
Metals can be classified according to their chemical activity into three groups which are very active metals, less active metals, and inactive metals.

Active Metals is a collective name for metals that react strongly or quickly with other substances. The metals in the first column of the periodic table are very reactive with other substances because they have a single electron in their outermost shell, just waiting to be stripped off to form a complete shell in some other atom, like oxygen or fluorine or chlorine, to form oxides, fluorides or chlorides. Examples of active metals are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, and Cesium, which are also known as the "Alkali" metals.
