Steps:

1. Magnetic clasps are ideal for pet jewelry because they will release when pulled, keeping your pet from getting caught or choked.
    
2. Type and modify your text in an image editing program and print it on regular white printer paper. Cut out the image with a hobby knife by tracing around the metal blank. Adhere the image to the metal blank using Mod Podge.
    
3. Glue the rivioli into the center of the metal blank using Jewel Bond or a similar adhesive. Punch a hole in the metal blank for a jump ring. Dangle crystals at regular intervals.
