Knowing nothing about your X except what you have written, I have to say my sense is he wouldn't care. Yours being like mine, right--walked away, done, no convo, so why would he suddenly be passionate about the silver?
I go with your thought that you say what you want, and see what he says. That way you are making your statements, and he can respond to it.
What have you got planned for the weekend? Besides packing? A movie with a girlfriend? something to take a break from the solitude and the packing.
