A lot of jewellers would also be happy to make one if you can't get them through a university. Iron isn't so hard to work with.

There's an important difference between mild steel (which is basically pure iron) and wrought iron (which has slag inclusions); the slag inclusions in the latter actually make for significant rust resistance.
