Its cut into ingots (bars) about the size of an arm. Then it is pushed though ever smaller holes (like playdough) until it gets longer and longer, thinner and thinner. Finally, when its thin enough, it gets pulled (as opposed to pushed) through even smaller channels until its at its final gauge (diameter, size.) Then it is either rolled onto a spool or occasionally, depending on what its going to be used for, it may be chemically treated to alter its properties slightly.

Basically from the raw silver, it is melted and formed to whichever silver product. Others tint the product and not necessarily make the whole object made of silver.
