Also the three Telchines (Telkhines). Evil magic-working daemons of the island of Rhodes. They were foster parents of the sea-god Poseidon, which were later destroyed by Zeus for their use of destructive magics. They are the Gold, the Silver and Bronze.

The closest I could suggest would be Hephaestus, the Greek God of the Forge. He was highly regarded for his smithy, as it is claimed he once created a net so fine it was invisible, yet made from metal and so strong it captured another deity. (I forget the details of the story, but I think it involved Aphrodite.)

The moon goddess, Selene (Latin name: Luna.) In later myths, she was merged with Artemis (Latin name: Diana.) She was said to have been completely clad in silver. She had a silver bow and silver arrows that killed swiftly and painlessly, like moonlight.

She wasn't exactly a goddess of the actual metal, but it was associated with her nonetheless. In many myths, deities of the moon are often associated with silver, due to the color of the moon.
