not if you plan to insure it.

It depends. If it comes with an appraisal for insurance purposes (which most vendors will provide if asked) AND you are comfortable with the purchase, yes you don''t need an appraisal. But if you''d like it confirmed for peace of mind OR you need an appraisal for insurance purposes then it isn''t a waste.

This is a good thread to read re: appraisals. I wasted money on my first appraisal because I wasn''t clear about what my intentions were for having the appraisal done in the first place. https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/getting-the-most-out-of-your-jewelry-appraisal.19367/

I didn''t see a need to have my GOG and WF stones appraised since they had already been independently graded by GIA and AGS, not to mention all the testing the vendors did! I used sales receipts and labe certificates to insure.
