Does a diamond have to be removed from its setting for an appraisal to be performed?

Hi.  If your appraisal is strictly for insurance and replacement purposes, many times a good gemologist is
able to get all the information needed even though a stone is mounted.  At that time, you are basically
looking for a ballpark to insure your ring in case of theft or loss.

However, if you are thinking about purchasing a diamond that is already mounted and arent' sure
about the carat weight, cut, color, clarity, etc. and need an appraisale to get a professional opinion on
your purchase, you should get it appraised loose.

Sorry, I should have specified. The appraisal is only for insurance purposes on a newly purchased ring. I have the full AGS grading report.
