I want to make a tutorial to show you how I make the brad.
Step 1 - CircleCreate a new document with transparent background. To create the brad, I click the Elliptical Marquee Tool to draw a circle. I use the #3c3c3c color. I name the layer "Circle".
Step 2 - Glossy
Then I Double-click on the "Circle" layer to open the Layer Styles dialog box and select Inner shadow, Inner Glow, Bevel and Emboss, Satin and Stroke.Create five new layers and name them the "Background color", "Background pattern", "Image base", "Image" and "Text".Then Right-click on the layers and choose Create Clipping Mask. Ya, set all five layers into clipping mask to the first "Circle" layer.
Step 4 - Brad Color
Back to the "Background color" clipping mask, click the Paint Bucket Tool and fill the layer in pink color, #e9a99d.
Step 5 - Brad Background
Go to the "Background pattern" clipping mask. Change the color into dark pink,#b97b6d and choose the Brush Tool to stamp a flower brush. Um.... The flower brush I used is from..Um...Tell you later. You know it's always difficult to remember where the brush is found.
Step 6 - Image
Go to the "Image" clipping mask layer, change the color into a pink color,#ef9e80 and choose the Brush Tool to stamp a flower brush. The size of the brush is rather small that fit in the circle.
Step 7 - Create a base of the Image
As the flower brush in step 6 is transparent, I need to create a base below. Select the Magic Wand Tool to select the outer side of the flower image and inverse the select. I hold the Ctrl+Shift+I keys to inverse the select. Then go to the "Image base" clipping mask layer. Click the Paint Bucket Tool and fill the selected area in another pink color, #eed9c8. 
Double-click on the layer to open the Layer Styles dialog box and select Drop Shadow. Then the base is made!
Step 8 - The Text
Go to the "Text" clipping mask. Click the Type Tool and type the text.Double-click on the layer to open the Layer Styles dialog box and select Gradient Overlay.
Step 9 - Metal Outside wrap
Create a new layer and I name the layer "Metal". Click the Elliptical Marquee Tool to draw a circle that bigger than that in "Circle" layer. I use the #3c3c3c color. As it's cover all the things, I need to cut a hole. So go the "Circle" layer. Select the Magic Wand Tool to select the outer side of the circle and inverse the select. Again I hold the Ctrl+Shift+I keys to inverse the select. Then back to the "Metal" layer and cut the selected area.
To make the metal texture, double-click on the layer to open the Layer Styles dialog box and select Bevel and emboss and Gradient Overlay.

I found out that if I keep the black background, it looks gorgons too!
