The whole point of having an appraisal is so that the insurance company will be able to either replace the item with one of comparable quality or pay you a fair amount for it.
Also, we do have a pretty good selection of Old European cut and Old Mine cut diamonds. So, if they do give you a check, we can recreate a ring as close to the original as possible for you.
