I think the answer is yes it is ok without insurance (I am not advocating just giving an opinion). As was mentioned USPS Registered mail is locked up and signed for at every step. If one of those gets lost get ready for some serious investigating from Postal Agents. That being said many times, because of the extra steps, it does take longer to get to the recipient. From my understanding Registered mail is the way many diamond shipments are shipped too.
Edited to add, I just saw Dan's post. If the PO paid a claim for a lost package then that is all anyone can expect. And I agree, I bet the lost registered mail pile is very, very small.
For me personally, I ship expensive things over night and hold my breath till it's received.
