Dear Steven,

Stop thinking Layered Manufacturing and start thinking Rapid Prototyping !

Or perhaps your just cannot think of any improvements
to be made in CNC machining technology for jewelry RP  :-)

Here is what the various technologies would need to do to service this trade:
 
ModelMakerII - Make this more turnkey and reliable.  Make the build platform smaller, like 3" cubed to bring down the price. 
Thermojet - Make a second support material that is removable
DTM/EOS/POM - Work on gold and platinum powders
SLA - Work on a more castable material
Objet - Work on a more castable material
 
Stop thinking Rapid Prototyping and start thinking Rapid Manufacturing.
