Hi All,
I am considering buying a sapphire from one of Pricescope's recommended precision cutters. If I pay for the stone in full, they are willing to send it to me for a seven-day evaluation period to make sure I like it before committing. It is a native cut stone that they will recut for me after the evaluation period. However, I am worried about liability while the stone is in my possession. Does anyone have any tips for this scenario?
Some options I can think of are:
(a) finding an insurance policy that will cover the stone during this evaluation period (I've read about Jeweler's Mutual and similar insurances, but it was unclear whether they would cover this situation).
(b) having the stone sent to a local jeweler (potentially the jeweler who will set the stone) and viewing it in their offices (presumably insured by the store's insurance).
(c) having it sent to a local appraisal shop where I can also view it in their offices (presumably covered by their insurance).
I am located in NYC. Do you guys have any good ideas for what to do?
Thanks,
Chris
