Maybe you could find a metal worker to make one for you.

You're going to have to make one yourself, the jewelry trade uses
dapping blocks or pitch bowls to shape metal, as well as industrial
dies that may be adapted for differnt shapes. I use bamboo dowel rods
that I make to keep a smoother surface on the metal. Their shouldn,t
be any shape you couldn't make using hammers and differnt shape
punches.
Good luck.

While not stricly jewelry, I'd think that shaping things like bowls and
large compound curve objects like cuff bracelets with a wheel would make
fine finish work easier than hammers daps and horns, etc.
