I bought a Hearts and Arrows diamond, and now I am getting it appraised. However, i appears that most appraisers do not grade hearts and arrows in any respect...
There seems to be a 5-10% price difference between H&A and non H&A cuts. My question is how should I handle the situation in regards to the H&A quality of this diamond. If for some chance the diamond needs to be replaced, I don''t want the insurance company to try and stiff me. The insurance we are looking at gives them the option to pay out or replace it. Obviously, I don''t wan''t it replaced with a non H&A if it were to be lost or stolen.
Even though the appraiser has no way of grading Hearts and Arrows, should I get him to put down that it is Hearts and Arrows on the description?
I take it there are quite a lot of H&A owners here. How did you approach this, considering it is not on the AGS cert?
