Floods, cyclones, bushfires and hailstorms. All of these natural disasters pose dangers to your valuables, and that’s why you purchase insurance for your home and contents. But if you’ve examined the details of your policy, you know that per-item limits and other restrictions make jewellery insurance a better alternative for your precious earrings, pendants and rings.
Does jewellery insurance cover natural disasters? Yes, it does, but that’s certainly not all it covers. Let’s examine the essentials and then walk through the steps for insuring your favourite pieces.
Natural disasters can turn your life upside down. If you have to relocate to a new home during renovations or replace any of your personal belongings, the uncertainty can be extremely difficult to manage.
One of the most challenging aspects of a devastating storm or disaster is that people often lose personal mementoes like photographs, journals and jewellery. While we can’t replace your photographs, we can replace your engagement ring or that gorgeous tennis bracelet your parents gave you at graduation.
With personalised jewellery insurance, your piece is protected from any and all natural disasters.
What types of damage can we handle? Your diamond ring might lose its centre stone, or your luxury watch could slip off your wrist and be lost. Whatever the damage, our policy can restore it to you as if the tragic event never happened.
If your jewellery survives but requires repairs, you can return to your original jeweller (or any other provider of your choice) for restoration. If the piece is lost in the disaster, your benefit will replace it. Again, you can choose your jeweller; we won’t shop around for the lowest possible replacement price.
Our jewellery insurance policy provides an agreed value. That means we cover your piece for the insured value shown on your policy, not “up to” that amount.. Therefore, if it’s damaged or lost in a natural disaster, you’ll have enough of a benefit to completely restore it.
What if your engagement ring is insured for $6,500 and your jeweller says it will cost $7,000? This sometimes happens because of a fluctuation in currency exchange rates, temporary scarcity in the market or unexpectedly high labour costs.
To manage this situation, we offer up to 150% cover on all of our policies. If it’s difficult to source an emerald-cut diamond that suits your engagement ring, we pad your benefit so your piece can be replaced, even if the repairs cost a bit more than expected.
