Re: ensuring your ring.

FH did because he proposed in DR. I'm not sure how he went about it but I'll ask him!

Re: ensuring your ring.

FH had it insured before we went away (he proposed in Ireland) - He did it through All State and I think its part of a 'renters' insurance policy - only costs like $30/month - so far we haven't needed to use it - and we will likely drop the insurance after the wedding reception.

Re: ensuring your ring.

FH went into a State Farm Office....I think it's like $75 (but I'm not sure if that's for the year, half a year, of a quarter)

Re: ensuring your ring.

FH insured the ring before he gave it to me. My insurance is through jewelers mutual.

THIS! My ring is also insured through Jeweler's Mutual. I think I will continue to insure it because the thought of losing my ring or having it stolen makes my stomach turn. I'm a very nervous person so having the coverage just makes me feel better!

Re: ensuring your ring.

I'm pretty sure mine is jewelers mutual too but I'm not sure.

We just need to have it inspected every 6 months, and I like the coverage because say something tragic happens to the ring ,we get to pick out a new one and a new stone, we aren't just given one of the insured value, which was really important to FH because he spent hours figuring out the specific stone.

Re: ensuring your ring.

UGH I am having such a hard time with this!! My homeowners insurance will not accept the appraisal and my broker is like thats weird, you are switching companies.

So now she keeps tryin to re-rate it but I live in a flood zone so nobody else will insure us.

I'm thinking I might have to check out these other policies you guys have mentioned-- I'm just sad about adding another stupid bill and another payment to send.

Re: ensuring your ring.

Please Please Please insure your rings girls, it is so important, trust me from personal experience!

I highly recommend Jeweler's Mutual, they cover if anything happens to the ring.
I'm not positive but I believe if it is insured under your homeowner or renter insurance, the ring is only covered if taken from your home, not if lost or stolen in the street.

Re: ensuring your ring.

Yes, FH got my ring insured...he went to statefarm, and I think is paying around $200/year.

This. My homeowners policy told me that they would only cover the ring if it was stolen from my home.

Thanks!

I insured it 3 days after receiving it. I went through Jewelers Mutual, much cheaper than most agencies I quoted. Very professional service, and received my policy in about a week. Great service! Highly recommended!
