BUT this story is just too fuckin weird, man.
most people have their high value gems insured, though. If you hold a gem for any length of time it would be wise to have to reappraised and the value adjusted from time to time.
Getting ripped off this way is just the ultimate in stupidity, or a scam of some sort.

424 gram (2100 carat) diamond would have a bulk of about 120 cubic centimeters not a real large item.
