<prompt> Human: Hi there,My boyfriend and I are getting engaged soon and my mother and uncle had the very generous idea of giving me my great grandmothers diamond to use for the ring neither of them wear jewelry, have wives who wear jewelry, or wish to sell it. The diamond has been sitting in a safety deposit box for over 20 years. I am very excited and after ensuring that they were genuinely okay with passing it on to me, I told my uncle that I would fly out to see him to pick it up. He told me that this wasnt necessary and that he could send it FedEx insured. I told my boyfriend and he is uneasy about trusting something like this in a package.Now, is FedEx insured the way to go? I was going to have the diamond appraised when it got here so how would FedEx insure it if it is not appraised? Do things go wrong when mailing something like this across the country?I could not fly out until May and we were hoping to get engaged in June which might put us on a tight timeframe to get the ring made another process that I know nothing about but FedEx would be very fast.Thank you for your time!  <response>: Why not have it appraised then shipped insured OR... just wait until you see your family then can get the ring. You dont need a ring to be engaged.
