CAD Cast or Handforged

[xxxxxx]

Hi Pricescopers,

I hope this is not the wrong forum.

For an open gallery pave design in platinum with a 1.7mm band width. Example picture

Should I go the hand forged route (Maytal Hannah) or the CAD Cast Route with the True Gem Company? I am slighlty rough to my jewellry so durability is definitley something that I am willing to pay more for.

And are there any downsides to claw prongs vs. round prongs?

I would be very thankfull for some insight in this topic!

Thank you
