Insuring your jewelry
Warning: Your jewelry may be under-insured or over-insured...
- Almost all insurance companies have the option of replacement of the item. If a piece of jewelry is lost, most insurance companies DO NOT give you money. It is their responsibility and obligation to put you back into the position you were in BEFORE the loss. Because insurance companies do millions of dollars a year in jewelry replacements, they can purchase the item for much less than a consumer.
- Most insurance companies will only pay up to the covered amount so if the current value is higher, you are under-insured and will have to pay the difference.
- Most insurance companies will only pay the current replacement value so if you are over-insured you are paying unnecessary premiums.
- Most insurance companies will not ask for updated appraisals on a regular basis, so it is up to you to regularly have your jewelry inspected and reappraised to reflect current markets.
- Most homeowner insurance policies have a dollar amount of coverage for unscheduled property such as jewelry, but there are limits and they cover theft only–not mysterious loss or damage.
When making a claim on properly appraised and scheduled jewelry:
- If the policy is a replacement type policy, the insurance company may have the option of sending you to a replacement center of their choice. Remember, you should have the replacement checked by a qualified appraiser to verify that the quality is acceptable based on the original appraisal.
- You may have the option of using your own jeweler, especially when original designs or copyrights are involved. Even then, you have the right to have the replacement verified for quality based on the original appraisal. At Antwerp Diamonds we offer this service to our clients.
- If you choose the option of cashing out rather than replacement, the type of policy will dictate how the cash-out offer works. With an Agreed Value or Actual Cash Value policy, you will receive a check in the full amount of the insured value. With a Replacement policy, you will receive either the insured value or the actual cost that the insurance company would have to spend to replace the item, whichever is lower.
