EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JEWELRY INSURANCE

Benzinga

How Does Jewelry Insurance Work? A policy for jewelry insurance should include coverage for replacing your jewelry in the event of damage, loss, theft or what is known as “mysterious disappearance.” To purchase a jewelry policy, you will be required to give a few details about the piece as well as have a certified jewelry appraisal. You can learn more about how jewelry coverage operates by reading this in-depth explanation. Is Jewelry Insurance Worth it? Yes. When it comes to protecting the most valuable possessions you own, jewelry coverage is surprisingly affordable and offers complete and total protection. Check for monthly pricing as low as $5. How Much Does Jewelry Insurance Cost? Depending on the value of your jewelry, you can expect the cost of jewelry insurance to range from 0.5 percent to 1.5 percent of the item’s appraised value each year. An engagement ring that costs $10,000, for example, would cost you between $4 and $12 every month. Learn more details about the costs of jewelry coverage here. Do I Need an Appraisal to Apply for Jewelry Insurance? Yes, you’ll need an appraisal when applying for a jewelry policy. To obtain an accurate valuation of a jewelry item, you will need to have the engagement ring or other fine jewelry appraised first. You can get a better understanding of the reasons behind jewelry appraisals as well as the benefits they offer here. Do I Need Jewelry Insurance? A valuable piece of jewelry should be covered by insurance because of the costly expense to replace or repair it. Read this guide to choosing the right policy to make certain that you have the top-notch coverage that best fits your needs. Will Insurance Cover Lost Jewelry? A policy for jewelry should provide coverage in the event that an item is lost, stolen or mysteriously disappears. Unsurprisingly, “mysterious disappearance” is the most typical type of loss. Check out this post that provides a detailed explanation of the jewelry insurance process to acquire a greater understanding of how jewelry coverage functions. How Do I Ship Jewelry and Have it Insured? The United States Postal Service (USPS) provides options for insuring mail, which provides protection against loss or damage to jewelry valued at up to $5,000 while it is being shipped. As long as your jewelry is shipped under receipt, it will be covered by a jewelry policy that is bought separately. Learn more about insurance that covers jewelry as a standalone item here. Is a Watch Considered Jewelry for Insurance? Watches are typically categorized as jewelry. Insurance companies that specialize in jewelry will usually offer protection for timepieces. Watches are considered personal objects and are usually covered by homeowners insurance. However, there are often coverage restrictions, limits and deductibles associated with a typical homeowners’ insurance policy. What is a Deductible for Jewelry Insurance? A deductible is the amount of money that must come out of your own wallet before an insurance company will pay its share of the bill. The standard jewelry insurance policy that BriteCo provides has no deductible, so you won’t ever have to worry about the cost of replacing your lost or stolen piece. Get a quote right now for jewelry insurance with no deductible. Is it Worth it to Insure an Engagement Ring? Yes, especially if you are unable to replace it if it is lost, stolen or damaged. The cost of engagement ring insurance should be between 50 cents to $1.50 for every $100 in ring value, making it an affordable investment to receive protection in most cases. Check how affordable it is for your ring. Will Insurance Cover a Lost Ring? Quality insurance should cover the loss of wedding rings, engagement rings and other jewelry for the most common form of a claim, mysterious disappearance. In general, specialty jewelry insurance is your best bet for coverage of your ring. Beware of homeowners insurance policies that have low coverage limits or a high deductible. Does the Value of My Ring Change Over Time? Yes! It is possible that the price of your ring will change over time as a result of fluctuations in the cost of the metal or the diamonds it contains. Historical evidence suggests that the value of your ring will most likely increase over time. BriteCo automatically updates the value once per year to make sure that you are always covered for the full worth of your ring and that you are insured for up to 125% of the value of your appraisal. Check out its insurance coverage page to view complete details. How Do You File an Insurance Claim for Lost Jewelry? Insurance from a company like BriteCo will replace lost or stolen jewelry. Customers can follow on-screen instructions after clicking on this link. Most claims take fewer than five minutes to make online. The company follows up immediately so that you have a replacement as soon as possible. How Long Will it Take for a Claim to Be Settled? The process of filing a claim only takes a few minutes of your time. BriteCo will get back to you as quickly as possible to start the process of obtaining your repair or replacement. The total amount of time will vary depending on the circumstances of your situation. What Jewelry Does a Homeowners Insurance Policy Typically Cover? The majority of homeowners insurance plans provide coverage for jewelry loss or theft as personal possessions; however, the value of this coverage is often restricted to between $1,000 and $2,000. In most cases, it will not cover your significant other, requires you to pay a deductible, increases the subsequent cost of your policy if you submit a claim and doesn’t offer you the option to decide how your item will be replaced. Find out more about the coverage provided by your homeowners insurance, as well as the reasons why jewelry-specific coverage could be a better choice for you. Is Lost or Stolen Jewelry Covered by Homeowners Insurance? A significant number of conventional insurance plans include coverage for jewelry as a personal item in the event that it is stolen. Additionally, the majority of homeowners insurance policies contain claim limitations, which could mean that more expensive things aren’t always covered. Check with your insurance provider or you consider purchasing stand-alone coverage instead. Learn more about the differences between homeowners coverage and a stand-alone jewelry policy. How Do You Insure an Engagement Ring Without Homeowners Insurance? You can insure your engagement ring with a separate policy through an independent specialty jewelry insurance company. Specialty jewelry insurance should offer better coverage with no deductible compared to most homeowners or renters insurance policies. To learn about insuring your jewelry with a specialty policy versus as an add-on for homeowners, read this evaluation. What is the Difference Between Homeowners Insurance and Specialty Jewelry Coverage? When seeking to buy a jewelry policy, you can add a jewelry item to your homeowners policy through a floater — a supplemental policy purchased along with homeowners or renters insurance (also called an insurance rider). People use a homeowners rider for more expensive jewelry items since most basic homeowners insurance coverage will limit the amount of coverage (under $1,000 to $2,000) and will cover limited perils such as theft. Adding a floater will extend limits to your whole collection and add covered perils specific to your jewelry. A specialty jewelry policy offers alternative coverage that is specifically designed for jewelry items such as engagement rings, necklaces and high-value watches. There are several advantages to specialty jewelry insurance including worldwide coverage for loss, theft, damage and mysterious disappearance. Certain specialty providers such as BriteCo offer enhanced coverage up to 125% of replacement value and no deductibles on its standard policies. It’s also affordable, averaging 0.5% to 1.5% of the appraised value of a jewelry item in annual cost. You could pay as little as $5 a month for an $8,000 engagement ring. Why Choose BriteCo Jewelry Insurance? BriteCo Jewelry Insurance offers you coverage with low-cost premiums for insuring wedding rings, engagement rings and other fine jewelry. Backed by an AM Best A+ rated insurer, BriteCo has coverage for the full value of your ring in the event of loss, theft, damage or disappearance. When making a claim, you avoid out-of-pocket costs with its zero deductible policies while assuring you get up to 125% of appraisal value in a replacement ring. There’s no need to add a personal jewelry insurance rider to your homeowner’s policy to protect your valuables when you can get specialty jewelry insurance coverage from BriteCo that’s fast, easy and affordable.

HOW TO INVEST IN JEWELRY

Benzinga

When it comes to investing in jewelry, you need to keep a few things in mind. First, it's important to get started as early as possible. The sooner you start investing, the better. Make sure you're investing in quality jewelry. Look for pieces that are well made and have a good resale value. Insure and properly store your jewelry. This step will protect your investment in case of loss or damage. By following these tips, your jewelry investment is more likely to be a wise one. What Factors Should You Consider When Investing in Jewelry? Several factors come into play when investing in jewelry. 1. The quality of the piece: Is it well-crafted? What is it made of? You should look for hand-fabricated, custom-made pieces. Machine-fabricated jewelry is not usually of the highest quality. Vintage jewelry pieces are often a good investment along with pieces from recognized brands such as Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels, Chanel and Cartier. If considering a ring, look inside the band for a stamp that signifies its origin. 2. The style: Is it classic or trendy? Will it still be in fashion next season? Style is a matter of personal taste as well as what the market values. Investing your time and your money in getting to know what’s hot and what’s not in jewelry should be fun and interesting. Online jewelry industry publications such as National Jeweler and the International Gem Society can help educate you. You can also see what’s selling on jewelry auction sites such as HiBid. 3. The stone: Is the stone rare or common? What about color and clarity? For jewelry with diamonds, assess the large stone or stones first. Understand the 4 “C’s” in terms of quality. Focus on earth-mined diamonds and avoid lab-grown or synthetic diamonds and gemstones since these do not typically hold value over time. Assess a piece with original purchase receipts, Gemological Institute of America (GIA) certificates or other documentation, and obtain a detailed appraisal from a reputable jeweler. 4. The price: How does the price compare to similar pieces? Investing in jewelry, like any other investment, is about building value over time. You will want to invest in a piece that is priced at less than the current market value if possible. That typically means a seller that really wants to or must sell a piece. One strategy would be to work with a trusted jeweler who can provide expertise, advice and assistance in buying an investment piece. Each of these factors will affect the value of the jewelry, so it’s helpful to take them all into consideration when making an investment. With a little education and research, you can find the perfect piece of jewelry that will be beautiful and valuable for years to come. How to Find the Right Jewelry for You As you search for the right jewelry to invest in ask yourself a few questions. What type of jewelry are you interested in? Rings? Bracelets? Watches? Is it something that you would like to wear daily or only wear on special occasions? If you plan on wearing the jewelry on an everyday basis, then you will need to make sure that it is made from high-quality materials that can withstand regular wear and tear. On the other hand, if you only plan on wearing the jewelry on special occasions, then you may be able to get away with investing in more delicate pieces that may be of lesser value. In addition to knowing the type of jewelry you want to invest in, you also need to think about your budget. How much money are you willing to spend on a piece of jewelry? If you are working with a limited budget, then you may want to focus your search on pieces made from less expensive materials such as sterling silver or costume jewelry. However, if money is less of an object, then you can indulge in more luxurious pieces made from gold or platinum featuring high-quality diamonds. Regardless of your budget, investing in quality jewelry can be a wise decision that pays off over time. What Type of Jewelry is Best Suited for Investment? Certain categories of jewelry tend to be good investments. One example is natural or earth-mined diamonds whose value usually goes up over time. Diamonds also have a wide range of price points, so they can be a good investment for people with different budgets. Just be aware that lab-grown or synthetic diamond prices have been coming down dramatically in price over the last few years and are likely not a strong investment option.

Diamonds also have a wide range of price points, so they can be a good investment for people with different budgets. Just be aware that lab-grown or synthetic diamond prices have been coming down dramatically in price over the last few years and are likely not a strong investment option. Another type of jewelry that can be a good investment is watches. Watches can be rare, and their value can increase over time. Watches also tend to have a high resale value, so they can be a good choice if you're looking to sell your jewelry in the future. Gold is another option that can be a good investment. Gold tends to hold its value well, and it's relatively easy to buy and sell gold jewelry. However, the price of gold can fluctuate quite a bit, so do your research before investing in this precious metal. Is Investing in Jewelry a Hedge Against Inflation? For some investors, gold and silver as precious metals represent a hedge against inflation. In times of volatility in the stock and bond markets, they seek an asset that holds its value as currencies and equities fluctuate. However, investing in gold or silver jewelry is not a particularly liquid asset. It’s about investing in something you enjoy and still building value over time. How to Care for Your Jewelry So That it Retains its Value Over Time Your jewelry is an investment. Whether it was handed down to you or it's something you bought for yourself, you need to take care of it so that it retains its value. First, you should get insurance for your jewelry in case something happens such as loss, theft or damage. You should make sure you're keeping your jewelry in a safe place. A jewelry box or a safe deposit box are good options. Clean your jewelry regularly. You can either take it to a professional or clean it at home using mild soap and water. By taking these steps, you'll help ensure that your jewelry retains its value over time. The Risks and Rewards of Investing in Jewelry Deciding whether or not to invest in jewelry can be a tricky proposition. Jewelry can be a beautiful and luxurious addition to any wardrobe, but it is also a significant financial investment. Before making investment decisions, it’s always good to consult your financial advisor to weigh the risks and rewards. Jewelry is often seen as a safe investment since it can be easily insured and stored. However, the value of jewelry can fluctuate widely, making it a riskier proposition than some other investments. If you do decide to invest in jewelry, do so with caution and insure your pieces against loss or damage. With careful planning and research, investing in jewelry can be a lifelong rewarding experience. Examples of Pieces That Have Increased in Value Over Time Some jewelry pieces never go out of style. Tiffany rings and Cartier necklaces, for example, continue to be highly coveted by fashionistas around the world. Similarly, Rolex watches are renowned for their timeless elegance and are often passed down from generation to generation. Even more traditional pieces like gold jewelry and diamonds have increased in value over time as supply has failed to keep up with demand. For those with an eye for history, art deco pieces have become increasingly popular in recent years. Thanks to their unique design and craftsmanship, these items are now seen as collector's items, fetching high prices at auction. A gem-set, diamond-and-enamel tutti frutti bracelet by Cartier, for example, recently sold for $1.3 million at Sotheby’s, the highest price for any jewel sold in an online auction. Several jewelry pieces for women are considered classic and typically gain value over time, including diamond studs, tennis bracelets, earring hoops and statement rings. You can give them as gifts — or purchase them for yourself — showcasing your good taste while enjoying the value of a solid investment. Whether it's Cartier, Tiffany or Rolex; gold or diamonds; art deco; or something else entirely, you can find plenty of examples of pieces that have become more valuable with time.

"It's been great working with XPoint as their first XPoint Lite partner,” added Sahil Patel, CEO and Co-Founder of BettorFantasy. “The team is lazer-focused on building a great solution and has been open to our feedback. We're proud to work with XPoint as our geolocation partner and we can't wait to integrate this technology for our community."
