    For bezel walls... a wooden toothpick fits in to the flexshaft and
    just charge it with tripoli or rouge. Q tips work too. 

    If you're talking about the backsheet you have a trickier situation
    if the back shows thru the window of the stone. The end of any
    rotating tool will leave you with a pattern of circles, which if it
    works for you, you can make a pattern like the gold leave lettering
    of old..an engine turned look. You might try sand or beadblasting. 

    Sometimes if I leave an oxidized silver piece in my ultrasonic too
    long, the high ammonia cleaner will strip off the black. 

    Are you oxidizing before or after setting the stones?
