Possibly some of the bigger manufacturers may be able to help (Sid Forman, Simon Efune and others). Some retail jewellers also keep stock of imported silver flat and hollow ware. Look around in your area - if there is an engraving business close by, they will certainly be able to direct you.

I have a old Africa Simba handmade bracelet with 3 links, each link has its own animal, a lion on one, a elephant on one, and the last has a zebra. it is large about 1.5 in in height. I have looked for this item and i have not been able to find out very much about it. What i did find out, i found out on this site. Does anyone have any information about it. I am going to change my profile picture to the bracelet so you can see it. thank you for your time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10858274360635900406noreply@blogger.com
