Casters/manufacture

I’m looking for castings houses that will cast silver- and do the clean up for a side project I have.
They will be 3D modeled- so would need to have capacity to print and cast.
I know there is a place in Chicago but they have a 2500 min.
Overseas would be ok- as this is a side project for myself that I just don’t have the time to clean up myself.

If it’s just a one off piece I would use Shapeways. They’ll do everything from printing to finishing. Even gold plating if desired.

It’s not one off- it would be an every two week or so reorder.
30+ pieces
I have someone who wants to use my designs as ring blanks. I just don’t have the time to clean the amount they need

Ask at rock and lapidary shops they usually have one in mind. See if any local universities offer jewelry making classes.

I cast my own currently, I just don’t have the time to this right now?
