The application usually takes about 10 minutes. It's faster if you have available the value of your jewelry items.

We do too. We keep all personal information private and will not sell it to any other companies, advertisers or third parties.

Include anything you would be upset to lose. We want to help you protect every item you treasure; once it's insured, you'll have peace of mind knowing we've got it covered.

We cover loose stones while they are being set by your jeweler. This is important if you purchase stones on the internet or elsewhere and then work with your jeweler for mounting and setting of the stone. This coverage is not found in most jewelry insurance policies.

With our repair or replacement policy, we replace with "same kind and quality," especially important when you have name-brand jewelry, such as Tiffany®, Cartier®, or Harry Winston®. Our goal is to make repaired or replaced jewelry virtually indistinguishable from the original, so you don't have to sacrifice quality.

The value of jewelry can change over time. A current appraisal helps make sure you're covered for the most accurate amount - especially important in instances where your jewelry is worth more at the time of a claim than it was when you last submitted an appraisal. We want to help you avoid incurring additional out-of-pocket expenses to pay for the difference.

We accept current appraisals or evaluations from any appraiser. You may refer to the American Gem Society or the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers for a list of appraisers by state. The appraisers for both organizations are specifically trained in jewelry appraising.

We always try to contact the primary applicant with any questions we have using the phone and email provided, so make sure the contact information you provide is accurate. We will only contact the other wearer if we cannot reach the primary applicant.

Identifying the actual wearer of the jewelry allows us to provide the right amount of coverage based on a number of factors, such as where the wearer lives and how often the item is worn.

The routing number is different in the U.S. and Canada. Check out the U.S. example and the Canadian example.

We ask these questions to determine eligibility for insurance as part of the underwriting process.

Mysterious disappearance is when you can't pinpoint when or where the item went missing. For example, you open your suitcase and your necklace is gone. It's one of the most common ways jewelry goes missing, and with us, you're covered.

An unscheduled jewelry option is available to anyone with at least one jewelry item scheduled on their policy. It provides limited coverage for jewelry valued at $1,000 or less without an appraisal. Many choose this option because it offers coverage and peace of mind for spontaneous jewelry purchases. Call us for details at 888-884-2424.

If you think your jewelry is covered by an existing policy, read it thoroughly and evaluate whether or not you're comfortable with that level of coverage. Standard homeowners policies often provide limited jewelry protection, frequently excluding jewelry damage and loss. Many homeowners or renters policies may also force customers to use impersonal jewelry repair or replacement companies, or to obtain several estimates before proceeding with a claim. We believe suffering the loss or damage of a diamond ring or other piece of valuable jewelry is hard enough. We do not require multiple estimates and you have the flexibility to work with your own trusted jeweler for repair or replacement work.
