When you pop the question, odds are you&rsquo;re not thinking about all the potential &ldquo;oopsie&rdquo; moments that could happen. We&rsquo;re talking about it getting lost, stolen, or even damaged. And while the sentimental value is irreplaceable, you can protect yourself by securing engagement ring insurance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&rsquo;re not sure where to start, we&rsquo;ve got you covered. From pricing to company options, here&rsquo;s everything you need to know about purchasing engagement ring insurance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_802150\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-802150\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-802150\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/b3\/b2\/b3b274695501e95d_w1000.avif\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"980\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-802150\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashgabes-photography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ash Gabes Photography<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engagement Ring Insurance Options&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deciding to purchase insurance for your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/wedding-blog\/engagement-rings-for-proposing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">engagement ring<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the easy part. The rest of the details are a little unclear. That&rsquo;s where we come in. Here are two avenues you can take when&nbsp; choosing an insurance provider:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. &#8203;&#8203;Homeowner&rsquo;s or Renter&rsquo;s Insurance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have homeowner&rsquo;s or renter&rsquo;s insurance, your first option is to add your engagement ring to your policy. It&rsquo;s important to keep in mind that most companies will have a limit of liability in place. This means they will only cover your item up to a certain price point. Typically the max price range caps off at $1500, and if your ring comes with a higher price tag, you might require more coverage&mdash;bringing us to option two.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Specialized Jewelry Insurance Companies<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe you don&rsquo;t have homeowner&rsquo;s or renter&rsquo;s insurance. Or perhaps you don&rsquo;t want to risk changing your current premium (cost of the insurance paid monthly or annually). If you find yourself in either of these positions, there are a variety of companies that specialize in jewelry insurance specifically. These companies typically don&rsquo;t have a limit and offer more customizable insurance options.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_802149\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-802149\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-802149\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/72\/bc\/72bca217062bc5c6_w1000.avif\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"940\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-802149\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/nikkidaskalakis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Nikki Daskalakis<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jewelry Insurance Companies To Consider&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&rsquo;re looking into insurance companies that specialize in jewelry, you&rsquo;ll have to find a company that meets your needs. You&rsquo;ll want to consider pricing, limit of liability, claim processing, and so much more. Those critical details can be challenging to focus on when you&rsquo;re met with a long, overwhelming list of company names on Google.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help limit your search time, we&rsquo;ve rounded up some of the top-rated jewelry insurance companies you should consider:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewelersmutual.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jewelers Mutual<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chubb.com\/us-en\/individuals-families\/products\/valuables\/jewelry.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chubb<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gemshield.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GemShield<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/brite.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BriteCo<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lavalier.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lavalier<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average Engagement Ring Insurance Costs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of engagement ring insurance will differ from person to person (or ring to ring), much like any insurance. Some of the factors that affect the price include where you live, your deductible choice (the amount of money you have to pay to file a claim), and the value of the ring. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewelersmutual.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jewelers Mutual<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can expect that insuring your engagement ring will cost 1-2% of its value.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your engagement ring is $10,000, you can expect to pay (roughly) $100 a year for insurance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_802154\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-802154\" class=\"size-full wp-image-802154\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/fc\/b7\/fcb7fb9fdee23b8e.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1049\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-802154\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapandcompassphotography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Map + Compass Photography<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Should You Purchase Engagement Ring Insurance?&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picture this: you&rsquo;ve purchased your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/wedding-blog\/find-out-which-engagement-ring-style-is-right-for-you-based-on-your-enneagram-type\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">engagement ring<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> just in time to pop the question on your next vacation. You pack your bags, hiding the ring inside. You hop on the plane, but your bags never reach their destination. This scenario is exactly why sooner is always better when purchasing insurance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second you purchase the ring, secure insurance.

You can prove purchase value by submitting any sales receipts that you have. If you don&rsquo;t have a receipt&mdash;if your ring has been passed down or gifted&mdash;you&rsquo;ll need to get an appraisal. This is an official document that places a value on your ring in the present day.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know everything that goes into insuring an engagement ring.
