What Is Covered Under Jewelry Insurance?
Typically, you can get coverage for jewelry under a renters or homeowners insurance policy. However, these policies have limits, and the coverage isn’t usually enough to cover the total replacement cost of a fine piece of jewelry. Additionally, jewelry-specific riders added to homeowners policies also have limits and may not adequately cover the replacement cost.
How Does a Jewelers Mutual Claim Work?
Experiencing damage to or the loss of a valuable piece of jewelry can be devastating. The last thing anyone wants is a complicated claims process at this upsetting time. Filing a claim with Jewelers Mutual is a simple four-step process.
-
Begin your claim. File your claim online or call us at 888-884-2424.
-
Choose a jeweler. When you get our approval, contact a jeweler to repair or replace your item. We can help if you’re unsure of who to use.
-
Pay your deductible. If your policy has a deductible, you should pay that amount to your selected jeweler. Your jeweler will then bill us for the rest. If you have a $0 deductible, and your replacement cost isn’t more than what the piece was insured for, you pay nothing.
-
Insure your replacement jewelry. If your jewelry is replaced entirely, we’ll help you add it to your policy. If the jeweler repaired the piece, you don’t need to do anything.
Please note that you can only file a claim for a piece of jewelry listed on the Jewelers Mutual Insurance policy. To get started, you may need to submit documentation (e.g., an appraisal valuation or receipt showing purchase price of the piece to be insured). Contact Wiglesworth-Rindom Insurance Agency to learn more about how to ensure coverage of all your jewelry under your policy.
