Couple of things-
we do wire drawing all day at the shop I work for. In precious metals we use different jargon. But to get wire into the next smaller die, or hole it has to be carefully tapered. Lapping or shaping that wire into the best shape to continue is a heck of a skill.

Making those diamond dies BTW must be amazing.
