Hi,

I have been asked to make a brooch out of a piece of sea pottery. The idea is to make a bezel from sterling silver and attach the brooch pin to the backplate. The part I'm unsure about is the best way to do the brooch fitting. I've read through a few forum posts and have come to the conclusion I need to get the stainless steel wire for strength, but how to attach it to the bezel back?

I have found these: http://www.cooksongold.com/Findings/...prcode-NVR-004

And these: http://www.cooksongold.com/Findings/...prcode-NVR-050

Are these the right things to assemble the pin fitting or are there better ones? Am I right in thinking I need to rivet the coiled wire into the fichu joint? I haven't ever riveted anything before, is this going to be too challenging?

Any advice very gratefully received!
