Cast Bead Manufacturing
There is some information that you may want to know about the cast bead manufacturing process. Casting allows for rather intricate patterns on the surface of the beads. Since the pieces are made from molten metal that is forced into molds, you will see some variation in some of the pieces due to how much material was injected into each space in the mold. While most beads will be rather uniform, this means that you will see occasional beads with "bumps" at the edge (too much metal) or places that don't look quite filled out (too little metal). Holes through the beads can also have these small inconsistencies, so a bead reamer or a round metal file is sometimes handy for cleaning up the spot. Small bumps or knobs on an edge can be snipped off with a wire cutter, as brass is a fairly soft material (like copper or silver). The underlying brass material is very similar in color to the antique copper finish, so even if you file an edge or if the finish wears down over time, it is not going to very noticable.
