    Sounds like you're talking about a millegrain tool. It's a small
    roller with depressions all around. Rolled along an edge, it turns
    the edge into a row of raised "beads" or grains... The tools come in
    a variety of sizes. 1.5 mm diameter grains is rather larger than most
    of them, but available nevertheless.... A widely used, almost
    standard finish for an edge, especially around some types of diamond
    settings. 

    Or are you talking about something else? 

Peter
