Dear Orchidians:

    I am in need of some casting advice. I have reached the point in my
    business where my production lines need to be cast so I can
    concentrate on enamelling and granulating. With this in mind, I need
    to find a good caster who is reputable and reasonable. I also have
    lots of questions of how I should go about the process of having
    this done. What should the prototype be made of? How "finished" are
    the cast pieces? What will I need to do to finish them? What is a
    reasonable time allowance? How many pieces should be done at one
    time? 

    You get the picture. Please feel free to contact me offline since
    this is such an intricate list of questions. Also, I'm located in
    Missouri and would like to work with someone nearby if possible. I
    should also mention I want items cast in sterling and 14KYG. 

Thanks!
