I just ordered my DVD as well today from Amazon. It was recommended on the SS Betty build thread.

The silver rim I got from a pen. But I can't remember which one it was. I used two-part epoxy to first glue the silver rim to the gem. Then I glued that to ring. Always applying the glue to the back just in case I made a mistake and used too much epoxy.
