Engagement ring insurance can protect your bauble in case a worst case scenario happens...
So you've taken one of the biggest steps of your life by purchasing a ring and proposing to the woman of your dreams. This is the point where practical considerations begin to cross your mind.... Like, what if my woman is washing her hands and the ring slips off down the drain. Or what if the diamond falls out of the setting. Or what if the dog somehow swallows it.
There are several different types of coverage policies for jewellery. You need to carefully investigate each policy to determine what is right for you. Each one varies in annual costs and procedures for reimbursements.
Many people rely on their home-owner's/renter's insurance to cover them in case of a jewellery mishap. Unfortunately, home owner's or renter's coverage may not cover any or all of the cost of a lost or stolen diamond. However, you want to thoroughly check out your policy to discern exactly what is and is not covered. Common practice is for home/rental insurance policies to cover between $500-$1,000 for jewelry theft. However, such policies may not cover damaged or lost engagement rings or anything that happens to the ring outside of the home-front.
A replacement policy will refund the cost of replacing the ring with an identical new piece (i.e. comparable diamond size, setting and metal) at the current market value.
Actual value insurance policies are the most popular among consumers and also the most low-cost. This sort of insurance policy replaces the cash value of your engagement ring, but deducts for derogation. Another words, if you've a $3000 engagement ring but it is 4 years old, money would be deduced from the ring's value based on wear and use.
Valued At Policies are less usual as well as valuable. You adjust the value of your ring, which can actually be higher than the assessed value, when considering factors such as emotional sentiment. If anything should happen to the ring, the policy will recoup you for the value you set the ring at.
Ask the jewellery maker where you bought your ring for coverage policy recommendations. They might have relationships with insurers and can possibly offer you up a discounted policy. Also, search online and see what deals you can find. Be sure to look into the company with the Better Business Bureau to check whether they historically have a solid reputation
Here are a few questions you should ask potential insurers:
- Is there a allowable and how does it impact costs?
- What type of paperwork I have to provide?
- Under what conditions is the ring insured?
- Is the ring covered for the full replacement cost?
- Will the settlement be in cash or for a replacement ring?
- Are repairs covered for damaged rings?
I hope these info will help you protect your engagement ring.
