Your question is asking about the order or the sequence of multiple adjectives in a sentence. There is not one specific grammar rule that tells us the correct order of multiple adjectives, however, there are several conventions. A convention is defined as 'a rule, method, or practice established by usage; custom', e.g., "The convention (practice/habit) of showing north at the top of a map." Here is a link to a great convention (also referred to as a rule) regarding the order of multiple adjectives: http://www.professorgrammar.com/opshacom1.shtml OPSHACOM OP = opinion SH = shape A = age C = colour O = origin M = material In your sentence there are two adjectives 'fine and silver'. 'fine' is defined as an opinion (Op) 'silver' can be defined as a colour (C) or a material (M) So, "her face was sculpted with a fine, silver chisel."
