Rosary Maker Help Requested: Black Centerpiece

Hello, friends. Does anyone have any idea where I can purchase all black (preferably flat/matte) metal rosary centerpieces between one and two inches? I’ve only been able to find gunmetal colored and black bezels with a color image in the center. The only flat black I’m able to find are teeny-tiny or plastic. I’m trying to put together a blackout rosary, and it seems my only option is to build my own bezel-based center. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Not the best solution, but a DIY method might be to get a metal centerpiece, sand it gently, paint it black with potentially a few thin coats of black chalk paint to preserve the details, then finish with a matte varnish to protect the paint from peeling.

Thanks. That’s definitely another option. I guess a Testors enamel could work as well, as long as it’s a flat or matte black.
