Insure that Ring!
Jewelry Insurance should be one of your first purchases after you say yes. The last thing you want is for your beautiful, most valued possession to get lost, stolen or damaged but sometimes, the unthinkable happens and you should be prepared.
Questions you should ask before purchasing your policy:
-
Is the ring covered if you lose it accidentally—or only if it's stolen?
-
How will the company replace the ring? With a check? Will they require you to purchase a replacement through a specified jeweler?
-
What if it's a vintage ring or other unique piece? How will the quality and size of your diamond—and that of a replacement if needed—be documented?
-
Is the ring insured to full cost or a fraction of it?
-
How will you need to prove the ring vanished if you make a claim?
-
Are there any circumstances of loss or damage that aren't covered? (like flying off your hand while you are spinning around on the Tilt-A-Whirl at your favorite fall carnival)
How much does insurance?
On average, jewelry insurance typically costs $1-$2 per $100 in value, so if your ring costs $5000, insurance will be about $50-$100 per year. Insurance costs can be kept low if you store your ring in a safe when its not being worn. Be sure to keep all paperwork including appraisals that come with the ring in order to make replacing it easier.
