Sooo, I am a bad girl and have yet to get my ring insured!! I really need to do it soon, so I am wondering - what is the procedure? I believe I have to get my ring independently appraised, right? What's a good place to go, what do I have to bring, and do I need an appointment? Thanks ladies!
mine was appraised by the jeweler where FH bought it--they gave him the appraisal when he bought it. Are you sure your FH didn't get one when he bought the ring?
I went to a place in garden city i think it will be about $100 or so....bring any sort of paperwork you have for your ring if its certified, and they will give you an appraisal:)

The jeweler where FH got the ring gave him a certificate of appraisal and we got insurance through the homeowners insurance it was cheap (I think less than 100$ for year)

I went to JEWELRY JUDGE in Garden City and he was great. It starts at about $95.00 for any ring the size of .99 then for every carat that is .5 over that is another 25.00. Something like that. But they were great and give you all the paperwork for the insurance right then and there.

our jeweler have us an appraisal, but we also had it independently appraised by the Jewelry Judge in Garden City. Our insurance was based on the value of the appraisal.
Yeah my FH got my ring in the diamond district in the city and they appraised it there I believe. We are renting so we just put it onto our renters insurance, but FH did this because he didn't want me to know how much the ring cost!
i would go to someone other than your jeweler so you get an outside opinion on what the worth of your diamond is. we brought my ring and GIA certificate to macys 34th st and got a great appraisal. my ring in insured with jewlers mutual.
I second Jewelry Judge- he was awesome and appraised my ring in under an hour.
we got it appraised from our jeweler who we know and trust ( a friends mom) and a separate appraisal to compare..we insured through jewelers mutual!

I had mine appraised by the Jewelry Judge in Garden City as well. I was so amazed at how knowledgeable he was and how dead-on he was with the measurements of the ring. I highly recommend him!
i had my ring appraised by my jeweler. As far as insurance, I recommend Jewelers Mutual. I chose them because if something were to happen to my ring, they let me go through my jeweler and many other insurance companies make you go through their person. check out their website jewelersmutual .com

macy's herald square is honestly the most reputable place i know of (other than sotherbys) where you get it appraised or FH got it done, insure for the highest amount
FH and I went to Good Old Gold in Massapequa to get my ring appraised. It costs $75 (This was in October 2006). All we needed to bring was all the paper work on the ring.
