Yes, we recommend that you insure your ring for replacement value. Although rare, accidents can happen and if your gem or diamond becomes damaged we can work with your insurance company to find a replacement of equal value. Many insurance companies don’t require an appraisal to insure diamond jewelry. Typically, they can insure based on the purchase price with an itemized invoice. However, we do offer appraisals on our rings by a GIA certified gemologist that specializes in rustic diamonds. Please contact us for a detailed invoice or to arrange an appraisal.
