Jeweller's style lost-wax casting can generate comples shapes, but it's important to remember that it's a one-off casting process, and more importantly to remember that silver is a much better behaved metal than copper. Casting is silver is relatively easy compared to copper. Ring up a few lost-wax casting foundries (I did) and most of them will shudder audibly down the phone when you ask them about casting in copper. It's a horrible metal to cast.
