Silver is produced in the explosion of a supernova. This process is the mechanism for creating many of the elements more massive than Iron, which is as heavy an element as may be manufactured by fusion in a star such as our Sun.

It accumulated on Earth from the debris that eventually formed Earth. It is fairly easily dissolved, and forms a precipitate when the temperature and pressure of its solute fluid drop sufficiently. It is one of the elements that are often found as the native metal.
