Complete Noob question on melting NS

ok, I am looking into making bolsters and pommels with Nickel Silver. Not knowing anything about the subject, I am trying to figure it out.
So, I figure you need a forge os some king, working on that.
Next I need a Crucible? what size type?? Ebay prices from $10 to $50
SO I figure I need a mold of some kind, lost wax or whatever. I am looking at that too. Lets assume for this thread I have a mold (right!)
OK, on to the material, What constitutes NS? Percentages? Are they important? What kind of temps are we talking about?
Do you mix your own recipe? off the shelf bars, ingots, coins?..
Thanks for helping me understand guys.
I am waiting on more grinder parts so until those get here I am trying to explode by brain in other areas.
