The only reference to silver that we have is the wolfbane dagger, which is a dagger made of silver, two prongs set in a hilt, and blessed by Saradomin (more likely his monks). When this is brought near a werewolf, they weaken dramatically and if they are in wolfish form, their bodies automatically revert to human form; if they are already in human form, the supernatural powers of the dagger prevent them from turning into a wolf.

We know that there are actually quite a few of these daggers in existence, as they feature in the T.S. Church novels; for an in-game reference, you can see one in Doric's house, on one of his tables. They would be considered rare, however, and not common knowledge.

Other than that, silver alone, and not in the form of a wolfbane dagger, shouldn't have any supernatural affects on the werewolf; it's a metal more restricted to vampyre weakness in the lower stages of their development (juveniles and juvinates). Hope I was helpful!
