Casting would work, although I'd like to leave that as a last resort
because of the fiddling and labour. I've already got the materials to
do it (silicone and water-clear polyester resin)

One other possibility is clear disks, which I can turn on the lathe,
with toothed edging stuck on (eg a drive belt turned inside out). Not
quite as elegant perhaps but done right the two-tone finish might
look OK. Or if Laserstream could cut a metal ring with teeth and I
bond that to a clear disk. A shiny brass or black powder-coated ring
would actually look quite nice
