Ring Insurance Advice
Posted on 7/7/11 at 10:44 am

Can anyone advise me on engagement ring insurance? My renters policy will only cover to a certain amount. What options exist and what should I expect to pay in premium relative to appraised value.

I literally cannot imagine that engagement ring insurance would be a good deal for you. I would stay away unless you had a solid reason to believe there's a significant chance she's going to lose/damage it, like if she has a history of losing jewelry before. Anyway you're already at least partially covered by the renter's insurance. Why can't you just jack up the limits on it if you're worried about the ring?
Also, congratulations!

Shouldn't that be her responsibility? An engagement ring is basically a gift. The only way you will ever get it back as your property is if you don't get married. Once you are married it is hers. If you divorce it is hers. In short, it is her asset, make her insure it. If she loses it, that is NYP.*

I don't remember how much I'm paying, but I really don't think it was that much extra on my policy.

Call your insurance company, you can get the ring listed separately on the policy so it's not underneath the $1000 - $2000 coverage you probably have for jewelry.

If you are married and she loses it and has to pay to replace, it's still coming out of your money. You aren't married are you?

Jeweler's Mutual is a solid company. We have a number of items with them, have had one claim and no issues. Zero deductible in Louisiana runs about $1 per hundred insured...

I have my wife's ring insured for $10,000 (too much, but that's another story) and I think it runs me $100/year or so. I have no reason to believe she's going to lose it, but there are plenty of ways that you may need that coverage. I think it's well worth it for that little amount.

So according to that logic I should drop my life insurance policy. Once I am dead the house and the bills are not my problem so frick her.
It's your money thus your investment... protect it.
BTW.. Jewelers Mutual is the way to go. Cheap and easy. Was actually cheaper than putting a rider on my homeowners.

CAlled a "Personal Article Policy" cheap as shite to be honest. Maybe $30-100 for the entire year. A lot of times you will get the ring much cheaper than what the ring will appraise. So if it is every damaged or "stolen" you can make a claim and get the appraisal value. Your welcome!

It may not be your fault, but it will definitely be your problem. I pay about $3 a month for the insurance on my wife's ring, which is tacked on to our car insurance.

Jewelers Mutual...wife's engagement and wedding ring is insured through them.

I did it through my renter's insurance. I believe it's like an extra $150-$200 a year. I'm insured for about $10,200. I considered purposely "losing" it as that's more than I paid.

I agree with this as well. Even though I'm not engaged yet, I already know to give my State Farm agent a call when I do get engaged and she will add ring as a separate policy to my renter's insurance.
