    Jeannette, I'd be very concerned about a large irregular obsidian
    arrow head. You might consider setting with claws from the back, from
    the front it can still look like a bezel. Irregardless of the setting
    style you really want to have a very good fitting bearing for
    support, not only for the setting process but for continuing
    durability. Belt buckles can be subject to some pretty hard knocks.
