Could somebody tell me what the phrase”run sth. by” means? As it is in the TV show of “Friends” : 


Rachel:Ok, it’s a pear-shaped diamond ring


Monica: I tell you what, any diamond ring we find, we’ll run it by you.

 In other contexts ”run it by” can apply to ideas or stories or anything you want an opinion on.
