I know for a fact that I can''t have the ring insured by an Aussie Ins Co until its in Australia.

Would anybody know if the opposite is true, as in would an American Co possibly insure me while its there? I know its a long shot, but its worth a go..


thanks in advance


ps. Also found this thread in which Allison D contributed on the same topic https://www.pricescope.com/forum/op-requested/wf-custom-setting-but-my-diamond-not-insured-should-i-just-get-a-different-setting-t78961.html

makes me wonder if I''m stressing unnecessarily..?

I don''t know yet but as you know I am currently looking for an insurer as well, what makes it hard is that I seem to talk to dumbo''s each time I hook up on the phone.

Chubb so far has been helpful (and the girl had a brain sorry to sound catty) to me and I am calling a broker on Monday to arrange an appointment and quiz them(if they are good I will pass on the recommendation ), I actually have many of the same questions as you AJ as I will shortly be in the same situation and definitely don''t want to take the risk.


I don''t think your blowing this out of proportion and I can fully understand where your coming from.

Dee, I will be Extremely interested to hear what your agent tells you, especially since it seems from the links softly provided it couldn''t be done (but that was a lil while ago, so please don''t think I''m being negative!)..
If you don''t mind pls post an update once you know!

arjunajane..i think most people buy the stone and setting from the same place so insurance on the diamond isn''t a worry. Also, insurance company''s here will cover a stone while being reset, so for gals getting upgraded settings they are covered, or someone buys an inexpensive setting, insures the ring, then has it reset. I''m sure there are those who just take the risk as well.

not just anyway can do the claw prongs so I''d be thankful Marie is being honest with you so you wouldn''t be disappointed with them and their setting if they just can''t do it. they have to be done by hand and i''m sure you know some are masters at it (Leon) and others can look bulky so if GOG says they can''t do them right, trust and applaud their honesty.

I understand being distraught over a setting. Maybe just take a break from looking for a couple of weeks to regain perspective.

thanks Mrs. I have enquired with Marie about the vatche caroline, so we''ll see how that goes..

As I said before, you are the one who gets the joy of looking at the setting everyday, so if it makes you happy, than it is worth jumping through the hoops to make it work.

Thankyou firecracker..I guess thats kind of the way I''m looking at it, but of course I''m not keen on throwing caution to the wind.

As an update, with regards to the clarity Jon has told me that I have no concerns at all - all internal feathers, nothing open or reaching the girdle..
