Hi Lins,

I would stamp the metal back plate before soldering the bezel to it. You can purchase stamping/dapping tools from many jewelry supply stores. You can also make your own from a large steel nail sanded to a line shape with a belt sander, or a pieces of mild or tool steel. Or you could use a large flat head screw driver as a stamp.

I made my own stamping tools in a blacksmithing class, maybe I will photograph them and show some pictures in the future.

Hi. I am trying to get a custom cross necklace made. Just a regular metal or silver is fine. Do you do that?

Debbe, I would suggest Rio Grande or Metaliferous.
