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.*

*In an ideal world. In reality, she will bother you to replace it.

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 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 have a personal articles policy through state farm


6000 in coverage for like 5 or 6 bucks per month added to my bill

my stepmom had the same policy on the appraised value of her ring, which was about double what they paid for it


she lost the diamond out of the ring and was able to upsize because of the pay out
