Default Remove jeweling without damaging part?

Is it possible to remove the jeweling from a hammer and trigger without altering the dimension of the parts too much? I just bought a Model 14 based PPC gun that has a jeweled hammer and trigger (and rebound slide and hammer block). The jeweling was done well, but it's too flashy for my tastes. Can the jeweling be polished out on the hammer and trigger without messing up the parts? I won't worry about the jeweling that doesn't show externally.
Since the gun is DAO now I was thinking of getting the hammer bobbed, so that would be a good time to have the hammer and trigger "unjeweled". Would bead blasting be a better solution than polishing?
