Sorry if this has been posted somewhere before, but I couldn''t find it w/ a quick search. I''ll soon be purchasing a diamond online (probably from WF or GOG) and wanted to make sure I understand the process that will take place before I take the plunge.
1) Obviously, first thing to do is educate yourself w/ diamond knowledge and make a selection on a reputable site.
2) Verify the diamond is eye clean if that is an issue (SI clarity)
3) Inquire about any discounts (PS, bankwire, etc) and make the purchase
4) After receiving the diamond, get it appraised ASAP with an independant appraiser.
5) Obtain documents for insurance purposes?
If getting the diamond set...
6) ship it back to the vendor (if I''m shipping it though, at this point it will already have to be insured w/ my insurance company right? or is it just insured by the shipping company?)
7) the diamond is set in the setting and sent back
get it appraised AGAIN as a complete ring (and then do I obtain additional forms for the insurance company?... if so, what happens to the forms for just the diamond?)
So this is 1/2 statement of what I plan to do, and 1/2 question asking for clarification and also please if I am missing any step of something important I should be doing please let me know!
Thanks!
