Worried about insuring your precious ring? We’re here to tell you everything you need to know about insurance for a ring, whether it’s a diamond, sapphire, ruby, or other gemstone. Don’t let a single moment of uncertainty or fear stop you from getting the engagement ring of your dreams.

We’ll go over what an insurance policy is and how it protects your investment so that when something happens to your ring – whether it’s an accident or a natural disaster – you can rest assured with the knowledge that you’re covered.

How much insurance do you need for a ring?

How much should I insure my engagement ring for?

As with most insurance policies, you’re going to be covered for your ring’s cash value. This means you’ll be covered for what the ring is worth–not how much you paid for it. A $600 ring would be covered for $600, not for its original purchase price.

Ring insurance policies are typically underwritten by companies that specialize in jewelry insurance.

Typically, an insurance policy is also going to cover physical damage as well as theft or loss of a ring. In the unlikely event that your engagement ring is damaged or stolen, an insurance company will do one of two things: they will replace your ring with a similar one (if they decide that your original was irreplaceable) or they will pay you the agreed upon value of your lost or damaged item.

Also, your policy will cover you if one of the gemstones inside your ring gets chipped or otherwise damaged beyond repair.

What’s the difference between insurance for a diamond and insurance for a sapphire?

While both ring insurances are designed to protect you in the case of theft or loss, they do differ in how they’re going to pay out when it comes to replacing your engagement ring.

Diamond-specific policies are going to replace your ring with another equal in value, while sapphire-specific policies will cover your broken sapphire regardless of its value.

How much does it cost to insure a $3000 ring?

Typically, ring insurance policies are going to be created for three years. If you’d like to extend your coverage for an additional year or two, that’s going to cost anywhere between $50 or $100 per year.

If your ring is of fine quality and is worth more than $3,000, you might be able to get more comprehensive coverage for a premium of up to $250. However, this will depend on the amount of money that you have spent on your ring. The more you spend on the stone, the higher your policy’s premium is going to be.

In 2022, the cost of ring insurance may range between 1 and 3 per cent of the value of the item insured, but can be higher or lower, depending on the risk profile of the individual. On average, you can expect to spend $1 to $3 for every $100 your ring is worth. In theory, this means paying $100 to $300 a year for a $10,000 bauble.

What if I don’t want my engagement ring replaced?

How does theft, loss, or damage get paid out?

Most policies will require you to file a claim within 60 days of an incident. Once you’ve filed a claim, the insurance company will investigate and then handle your claim. If you need to file a claim after 60 days have passed, the insurance company is going to take a harder look at your situation and may not allow it.

You’re also going to want to try your best to prove who lost or stole it so that the insurance company can proceed with faster action on your behalf.

How much is it going to cost to insure my diamond?

As we mentioned before, ring insurance policies are typically underwritten by companies that specialize in jewelry insurance. Because of this, there’s no way for us to accurately predict how much a diamond-specific policy is going to cost you.

As with most things, the more risk your insurance company has to cover in terms of size and value of your engagement ring, the higher the price tag will be. A $3000 diamond-specific policy could cost anywhere between $100 and $200 per year.

What if I want a greater level of protection?

If you want an additional safety net in the case of theft or loss, you may consider something like insurance for your house or your car. This way, if someone breaks into your house and steals your engagement ring or it gets stolen out of your car when you’re not looking, you have a little more coverage to help make up for the loss.

Do I need a policy if I’m only spending $1000 on an engagement ring?

If you’re only spending $1,000 or less, the best way to protect yourself is with an individual policy for both the diamond and the sapphire. You can purchase a simple, two-year diamond-specific policy for about $65 – $100 per year.

This is going to be your best bet for protecting your investment as well as helping you sleep at night knowing that there’s coverage in place – no matter what happens.
