After
casting, each charm is smoothed with a heatless stone and a rubber
wheel to remove any burs along the edge.

Step 6
Each
charm is drilled for an o-ring and polished to a brilliant lustre
using a special process that will not damage the delicate fingerprint.
After polishing, the charms are engraved with the child's name
and birthday. The final stage is a quality control check before
shipping the final product out to the customer.
