What is the difference between a handmade ring and a cast ring?
All of our engagement rings at MAX Diamonds are handmade, meaning they are uniquely made for each customer. There is a significant difference in workmanship and price between handcrafted rings and mass-produced (or “cast”) rings. Handcrafted designs involve many hours of work by a highly skilled jeweller. The gold or platinum is heated, rolled, drawn, shaped, hammered, cut and joined to form a beautiful masterpiece. It is then polished and cleaned, resulting in an incredible display of craftsmanship. Handmade jewellery is heavier, stronger and higher in density than a mass-produced ring. The density of your band, the style you choose as well as your choice of metal will determine the price variation.
