Hi all,

    I have received an order to make a Dolphin brooch/pendant out of 18ct
    white gold. The dolphin will be 2.5 inches in length and pave set
    entirely in small diamonds.I  cast a lot in yellow gold, but I am not
    comfortable with white gold. 

    So I would like to FEDEX the wax model to a caster who can cast it
    for me. I dislike rhodium plating, so I would like to have it cast
    in an alloy that can stand on its own. Also, I do the setting, so I
    want it to be as soft as possible. 

    I have heard lots of good things from Race Car jewellery? but if any
    one could recommend a caster, that would be much appreciated. I live
    in St Maarten, about 500 miles from Miami. 

Thanks, Hans Meevis.
