Engagement rings can be quite
expensive. Online wedding resource
The Knot says the average ring costs
more than $5,000.
To protect their purchases, consumers
can listen to experts and ask
their jewelers to mark stones with
an identification number, so lost or
stolen rings can be identified and
potentially returned.
The diamond can be laser-
inscribed with its certificate number
or a jeweler’s designation.
Such inscriptions are visible only
under magnification and can cost
between $40 and $200.
Some insurance carriers also
will offer discounts on policies
insuring inscribed diamonds, so it
definitely can be worth the extra
investment.
