Hi everyone,
I''m having two RB stones appraised on Tuesday (the 1.416ct. GOG stone that I posted last week and a 1.31ct. WF stone) before making my final decision.
Should I get insurance on the loose stone immediately after purchase if I plan on sending it to Leon Mege in the next few weeks? I decided to wait until I had the stone to contact him about a custom, platinum solitaire. I''ve read in many posts that reputable jewelers do not require insurance for the setting process, but I can''t find info on Leon specifically.
Also, is it customary for appraisers to look at the finished ring to make sure that nothing has happened to the diamond during setting? Is there usually a fee for this?
This is my first ring-buying experience. Most of my friends have bought their diamonds already in a setting from a B&M, so I''m clueless. Thank you for all of your help so far... I''m so happy that I found Pricescope!
