    Hello, I have recently been asked if I would make a silver belt
    buckle with a large obsidian arrow head mounted on it. The client
    wants the stone bezel set rather than claw set. My concern is that it
    could easily break because of its uneven surface. 

    Is a bezel set do-able and could a cushioned back be made for the
    arrow head, like out of some type of rubber compound? Any advice
    would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks, Jeannette
