Default Do you use a Signature, and how?

A customer asked if I signed my work, and if not could I? Besides from using a handmade Millefiori/cane with initials or whatever....is there anything else I could use? I stink at millefiori and besides I need a method for when the bead is already finished, annnealed and cold.
I have heard of people using a pen of some sort...silver or paladium?...but does that need to be fired...and where to buy it...and would it last without rubbing off?
Does anyone engrave a signature?
I'd really appreciate any info you have on the subject.
Thanks!
Susan

Titanium scribe, here is a link where I got mine You do not have to fire it in the kiln or anything else. This should be all you need. I think they advertise here on LE.

soooo, after the bead is annealed you take the scribe and etch initials into the bead and voila'??? sounds easy if that is the case!!

I used to sign my initials on the back of my grape cluster focals with stringer that I used for the grapevine. It actually looked pretty cool.
