Need insurance advice please. I have a diamond that has been chipped, not sure how. Nobody can fix it in the country I live in. This means I have to get on a plane for 8 hours and take it back to my diamond guy in my home country.
The diamond has a thin girdle and is currently set in four prongs. The stone has also come loose in its setting again. I have taken the ring off and put it in the safe.
Can someone help with these questions please;
1. Does re-setting the stone in 6 prongs make it safer, less prone to chipping?
2. Does the stone come loose in its setting due to a thin girdle?
3. My insurance company has offered cash to replace the stone. Should I take their offer and buy a new stone or get it repolished – estimated weight loss to be 0.01pt
I bought the stone in early 1999. Its insured for current market value. Not even sure how this stone would perform under and idealscope. The only details I have on an independent appraisal are that it is a gvs2 with a good finish.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
