Default How are Pandora brand silver cores made?

Does anyone know how the silver Pandora cores are made/inserted into the beads?

Are they a grommet that is glued in or press fit from either side of the bead, or are they hot cast directly in the hole, or are they cold pressed into the whole like is done with the bead liners that we see around.

My main question is, how do they get the word Pandora on the side of the bead? That looks like it's cast into the metal, which makes me think that the silver core is either cast onto the glass or it's a grommet that is glued or press fit into place.

I guess I could buy one and smash it with a hammer to find out, but I'd rather not waste the money.
