You can get it appraised by a local appraiser, usually while you wait and you can have this include plotting. The report from this appraisal can be used to bind an insurance policy that will be in force when you send it to the lab (assuming you still feel you need to do that). The appraiser can probably help with the logistics of that as well if you wish. That doesn't reduce the extremely low chances that the lab will steal your stone, but it does pass the risk off to the insurance company if it does. (again, I think your exposure to the lab here is remote and the only real issues have to do with the shipping and the pull/reset process, but the insurer is assuming these as well).I've wondered about this too. The stone in my e-ring was never certified or mapped and of
course does not have a number etched into it. If I were to send my stone in to AGS or GIA, how would I know that the stone I get back with the paperwork is indeed my stone?![]()
