OK....
I am going to send my diamond away to get AGS certified. Since AGS will not let the general population send directly to their labs I have to go through an AGS certified jeweler.
Since I just bought the diamond I do not have any insurance on it yet.
My question is, how do I make sure what I give the jeweler is what I give back and how do I protect myself in the event of tragedy like a diamond swap, lost in the mail or a straight up theft by the jeweler.
I called all sorts of Jewelers and got all sorts of quotes to get and AGS DQD (Diamond Quality Document) they ranged from $400 to $225. I am going with the guy that costs the least (obviously) but I just want to know how to protect myself.
