Sounds like CNC is a bit over the top for that, without more information it's difficult to know what you want.

I would think that someone skilled with a piercing saw and needle files might be a better bet.

Try looking for a friendly jeweller or model maker.

There are various ways to make parts like this as a "one off". you can print them using vaiuos materials them plate them. You can print then with metal powder. Any printing will always have a layered surface finish which will need plenty of hand finishing before any kind of plateing. CNC and then polish will probably be cheaper as a one off, depending on complexity etc.

somewhere like http://www.3trpd.co.uk/ will be able to help. I have no conection with this company apart from them trying to sell me their services.
