hey guys,
I''ve read all the threads on shipping and insuring loose stones and those have been helpful-- thanks. My question now is that if our stone is insured by JM and the bf wants it sent out to a jeweler to be set, should he still pay the extra money to have the stone insured by USPS while in transit?
If so, is it just to have an added assurance?
If not, I am thinking that he can just send it by Express Mail even though it only insures up to $5,000.00 value bc the stone is technically already insured-- what do you think?
All advice is welcome please.

p.s. He attempted to use UPS per advice by appraiser but they told him they do not ship loose stones (which I have subsequently also read on an older thread on here).
