Hi all,
I took my ring to an appraiser yesterday so I could get the ring insured and I told the appraiser that my ring was a handmade platinum ring. But my appraiser looked at it and said the ring was caste. He was saying something about how there would have been file marks under the crown of the setting if it were hand made. I dont know what to think, my jeweler claims it''s handmade, and the reason I paid the amount I did for the setting was because I wanted a handmade ring. Is there anyway to know for sure?
After working with my jeweler, it just doesn''t seem like it''s a caste ring. The first time I went to the store I asked if they caste their rings and they were like "oh no, all our stuff is handmade", and he told me how they use X number of pieces of plantinum and laser weld them together etc.
