If you want it in precious metal, it will probably need to be custom built.
This is a common task for most goldsmiths and the labor would probably cost
less than the laser cutting.

However this is a very long span for a pin, and the stem is likely to be
very floppy.

hi. I want a 80mm bar pin but after hours and hours of web search
couldn't find a single supplier of bar pins this big... Now i'm trying
to have this custom made but I'm seriously struggling to find a
company that will do the actual "pin". I can have the "support" for the
pin done with laser cutting, but all the companies i've contacted to
have the pin done came back to me with negative answers or didn't reply
at all....! Can anyone please help me??? either by telling me where i
can buy a brooch pin this size (this would be haven) or by letting me
know of any company or supplier of custom made pins...

cheers x
