Carrying silver/gold on F1 visa

Hello, can a F1 visa student coming to the US for the first time carry silver items worth 2000$ from india to give them to his/her relative? Do they need to declare it on the US customs declaration form? Let me know

Thank you!

This is not an issue. You need to declare if more then $10k.
