Dilemma – should one use the invoice of actual cost or an appraisal, which can be at in certain cases far higher than the actual cost, when taking insurance. Which decision to ensure your integrity remains intact. Being an online engagement ring retailer at diamondseverlasting.com, our view was the actual invoice we ship with the diamond engagement ring and other views would be of interest.

Should I demand for both appraisal and the lab certificate when I buy a diamond jewelry? I think I have a couple of Jamesallen diamond rings that have both the documents but for the rest of my jewelries, I’m afraid I only have either of the two. Can I demand the store where I bought them for these documents? Thanks you in advance!
