    Try painting a monogram on the table and dropping into the pickle
    for a few moments. Don't use too hot a solution and the effect is
    very interesting. I got the idea from trying to find a substitute for
    a bead-blaster and it worked out great. I used nail polish but and
    lacquer would probably work. I can't say how long the design  last
    but the "damage" is permanent so if the stone is worn in a pendant
    and not abused, it should stand up well.
