A short time ago I went into New York City to look at settings. While there the sales person at one store discussed the differences between die casting and having rings custom made from waxes.
He mentioned that the rings from waxes or any type of ring where the metal was heated and cooled that way would have little bubbles in the platinum and would not be perfect.
I know how die casting works as SO is an engineer and was only too happy to explain it to me and show me some neat things in CAD. Sadly he was unable to tell me what that gentleman had meant because he is not familiar with how custom rings are made.
Will a custom ring be less durable then a die cast? Will it have more imperfections?
