[Jewelry making - Article 00461] - [Orchid] Casted Vs. Die Struck Jewelry

    Another jeweler and I manufacture a similar piece of jewelry. He uses
    die striking to manufacture his piece and I use casting. He
    advertises that his piece is superior by saying mine is "inferior"
    because it is casted. My question: Is this true? Are casted jewelry
    items inferior to struck ones or is this just an opinion of his. 

    An information you could provide me is appreciated. 

Mahalo and aloha,
