That's the marvels of modern 3D printing.

AFAIK shapeways actually print a wax model, and then die-cast it in 
bronze steel; but there are 3D printers out there that work directly 
with bare metal, using either sintering or depositing processes.

You can also get your stainless steel with a gold plating, and solid 
sterling silver is another option (they do use some direct process for 
the latter). Or how about glazed ceramic?
