    Julia, I called around about having silver etched a few years ago
    and found that while some companies do it, it was very expensive. My
    solution was to have brass plates etched and then run those through
    the rolling mill to emboss the image onto the silver. You end up
    with the reverse imprint and a little less precision, but you can
    still get quite a bit of detail, and you can use your images more
    than once.
