Should You Insure Your Jewelry?
Let’s be real, if you’ve invested in a ring you love, the last thing you want is to damage or lose your precious investment. But accidents happen—that’s why protecting your sparkle is absolutely essential.
Whether it’s everyday wear and tear or an unexpected loss, having jewelry insurance gives you peace of mind, so you can enjoy wearing your engagement ring without worry. Here’s everything you need to know about insuring your jewelry:
Why Jewelry Insurance Matters
Fine jewelry is more than just a precious investment—it’s a reflection of love, milestones, and carries sentiment you can’t put a price on. That’s exactly why insuring your jewelry isn’t just practical, it’s a thoughtful way to protect what matters most.
Annual coverage for a Jewelers Mutual policy generally costs 1% to 2% of your ring’s value, paid each year. For example, if your ring is worth $5,000, you could pay $50 a year. Due to it’s low cost, adding jewelry insurance to your piece is truly a no brainer.
From accidental damage to sudden loss or theft, jewelry insurance is there when the unexpected happens. It covers everything from repairs to full replacement—including those moments you didn’t plan for. Now, let’s break down exactly how jewelry insurance works and why it’s worth it.
What Does Jewelry Insurance Cover?
While policies can vary, most jewelry insurance plans protect against:
> Loss, theft, or incidental damage.
> Stone replacement fee.
> Setting repair or replacement—including prong tightening.
> Repair costs related to both stones and settings.
