Dear Carmen:

    I had this exact problem....fortunately I also had a friend that
    worked in a metal fabricating shop! What we did was cut it into
    mangle size pieces 10/20 OZ then used the forming press to thin those
    pieces out....from there you should be able to make smaller ingots
    that you can from as needed, also your cost would be much lower then
    any jewelry supplier would charge...so get out your phone book and
    look under metal fabrication.... 

HTH
