Why you should be insuring your Jewelry

The differences in homeowner’s policies and Jewelry coverage are vast and it’s best to make sure you are covered properly. The typical per-theft claim limit is $1,000 on a homeowner policy without a schedule. That’s the jewelry limit for an entire claim, not a $1,000 limit per item Homeowner policies also have deductibles which apply to Jewelry.

Many homeowners’ policies exclude if you lose stones. If the stone falls out of the setting, you’re not covered at all. Most insurance companies include the jewelry insurance with sub-limits of $500 in their standard homeowner policy. With our standalone policy, we can increase the limit up to $250,000 and include watches, silverware, collectibles and art collections.

Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but when diamonds go missing, insurance is your best friend or your worst enemy if you don’t have enough coverage. Value, sentiment, emotion, and your aversion to risk should all play a part in choosing an insurance policy for your jewelry. This is where our newly expanded jewelry coverage fills in the gaps.

Traveling?

Damage to Rings, Watches, and Necklaces?
Diamonds are the hardest known mineral, they still aren’t impervious to harm. Diamonds can crack when dropped on a hard surface or fall out of their settings when subjected to impact. Rubies, sapphires and other precious stones are also susceptible to chipping, cracking, or breaking. Emeralds are especially brittle, and pearls can easily be damaged or crushed if improperly protected. Homeowner’s policies typically do not cover damage to your rings, watches, and necklaces.

Personal Jeweler?
Many people have a preferred jeweler, as opposed to just having someone trying to sell you something in the display. A Personal Jeweler really gets to know you and your tastes. Well, you won’t have to give them up. When placing a claim with us you get the same quality workmanship that you are used to.

Loss buyback.
There is sentimental value in the keepsake, our policies give the option of repurchase if lost or stolen and later recovered or it declared a total loss.
