It will depend on the insurer of course but you will probably need an appraisal in addition to the purchase receipt.
The good news is that if you are insuring several pieces you can probably get them appraised all at once -- ask a local jeweler what his fee would be for this kind of consultation, or you can call up one of the big department stores -- I know Macy's jewelry department used to offer appraisals, for instance.
