After Purchase: Appraisal, Insurance & Returns

Know which documents and seller terms to review after a diamond or ring purchase.

After purchase, keep the itemized receipt, grading report, and written policy documents together. Questions about appraisal, insurance, returns, and warranty terms depend on the item and provider; confirm requirements directly rather than treating a grading report as an appraisal.
