    Hello Stevie, I would not solder on chrome. By heating the case you
    can get discolouration of the chrome. This is difficult to remove if
    the layer is thin. or bladdering of the chromium layer can occur. I
    suggest to solder on the ornament small pins. Drill in the casing
    holes and glue the ornament and pins in.
