I presume that looks are all that matter in this case.
There are a couple of very high lead bronzes that might work.
There are also some brasses with less than 60% Cu and small amounts of Mn that have low melting points. C86400 and C86500 are actually rather high strength and commonly used for marine hardware. I have never cast them, but I would expect that you would still need 950C to get good castings. There should be a lot of information on 865 available. Try copper.org

Neither should your protection

Get in touch with these people as their forte is low temperature alloys. They make a lot of jewelry alloys that may fit you requirements.
