Jeweling a bolt?

I just got a Remington 700 with a plain-Jane finish on the bolt. I'd like to jewel it. I have some experience in polishing bolts to a mirror finish using very fine emory cloth and then sequentially finer grades of jeweler's rouge on a powered buffer wheel, but I've never tried jeweling before. I have a drill press with a machinist's precision vice and was thinking about using hard rubber Dremel bits impregnated with jeweler's rouge. Any tips, or should I even try this at all?
