Insuring Your Valuable Jewelry

The biggest mistake brides and grooms, then husbands and wives make is: NOT INSURING THEIR RINGS.

The second biggest mistake brides and grooms (and husbands and wives) make is to Insure Their Rings with their Home-owners Policy.

Why Insure Your Rings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not insuring wedding and engagement rings is a costly mistake made by almost 50% of the public.

And the 50% that do insure their rings put it on their homeowner’s policy – and big NO-NO.

Save Hundreds in Repairs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not insuring rings stems from either being busy, silly, lazy, or uninformed.

A good insurance policy will save you hundreds on possible repairs, while making sure that your investment of thousands of dollars is protected – for pennies on the dollar.

How to Insure Your Jewelry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Always make sure that:
1. Your appraisal is NOT over appraised – otherwise you’ll be paying higher premiums then you need and if you have a loss the insurance company will only re-imburse the actual value of your ring – NOT the appraised value.

2. That you have a ZERO deductible – this way your repair bills will be paid in full by the insurance company.

3. That you find a good insurance company like Jewelers Mutual to insure with. Why not put it on your homeowner’s policy? Because if you have a loss companies like All State, State Farm, etc. will raise your homeowner’s premiums. Using an independent company will not impact the premiums on your homeowner’s policy.
