In 3 steps you can solve this issue you're having.

Step #1) find a jeweler
Step #2) commission that jeweler to make you a gold esc blank
Step #3) pay teh jeweler for their work

Anyway, I found these on Feng's eBay store, which is very reputable, if a little slow sometimes.

I'm sorry if these aren't exactly what you want, but they're the closest I can find right now.

but have jewelers been good at making keycaps?

i know that for pc powdercoating, it's really important to get someone who has done pc powdercoating before. there are a ton of little details that an inexperienced modder would miss.

girldc is a silversmith :-/

The person who made my non-traditional wedding rings from pictures I drew was a 30 year goldsmith. The stuff he can do in miniature size would astonish you.
