Jewellery Insurance from Assetsure

We specialise in helping you protect your most valuable possessions. If you have a precious item of Jewellery, our "All-Risks" Insurance policy, which includes, accidental damage, accidental loss, and theft, will provide you with valuable insurance cover.

For some people, covering valuable items under a home insurance policy is not a viable option. Often the sums insured are too high and the insurer does not wish to extend cover.

Now there is a solution to this situation as we at Assetsure are able to offer a stand-alone policy to cover your most precious items. We offer a jewellery insurance policy designed to cover either single items or groups of items without the need to add any other sections of cover at all. We provide a comprehensive worldwide “All Risks” policy wording and we will consider most valuations. In some cases, removing an “All Risks” section, can lead to a more competitive home policy quote and by arranging cover separately, you certainly won't have to worry about losing your no claims discount.

What can we cover?

We provide insurance for all types of jewellery including diamond engagement rings and quality Swiss watches. We are equally happy insuring single items or groups of items, the choice is yours. Simply, complete our online quote form and get a jewellery insurance quote today.

We've got you covered...

Accidental Loss

Small valuable items of jewellery are easily lost.

Accidental Loss

Insurance cover to replace items of jewellery if they are lost.

The biggest worry for owners of jewellery is that an item will be lost, this can happen all too easily with small items and because of their size, they can be almost impossible to find.

Although insurance can never replace the sentimental value of jewellery, we can help relieve the expensive cost of having to replace an item often at short notice.

A policy arranged by Assetsure will cover loss of the whole item or part of the item such as the stone or even one of the small stones set on the shoulder of a ring for example.



Loss of stone

Precious stones get lost our cover ensures you can replace it if it’s lost.

Loss of stone

Cover against loss for all stones contained within a ring

Over time, stones in a ring can work loose and if they fall out, they are easily lost.

The policy we arrange covers all stones in your ring including smaller ones set on the shoulders or within the band. There is no excess to pay either so items are replaced without deduction.

Accidental Damage

Accidents happen, especially to items designed to be worn for lengthy periods of time.

Accidental Damage

Repair or Replacement cover if you damage your Jewellery

With any item you would expect natural ageing, wear and tear, and cosmetic changes, which are not covered by insurance, but sometimes more serious damage can occur.

Jewellery items can easily be damaged and whilst diamonds are arguably one of the hardest naturally occurring substances found on Earth, they can surprisingly be damaged, particularly if the shape is an unusual one such as in the case of pear shaped diamonds.

Claws and settings can also become damaged and broken and a “No Excess “policy arranged by Assetsure will pay for repairs no matter how minor they are.

Worldwide Cover

Giving you the peace of mind that you can travel and still be protected

Worldwide Cover

Global cover for your valuable items

We arrange insurance for persons that are normally resident in the United Kingdom in respect of their items of jewellery and insured items will be covered anywhere in the world for unlimited trips abroad, providing no one trip is in excess of 60 days duration.

Another great advantage of the policy is that you do not need to inform us of your travel plans, you are automatically covered.

Theft

Unfortunately jewellery get stolen, we make sure you are covered if the worst happens.

Theft

Protection for your valuable items against being stolen

Your precious items of jewellery are not just attractive to you. Thieves also find them highly desirable especially as they are portable and quite easy to sell on. If you are unlucky enough to have a burglary at your home, items of jewellery are at the top of the list of items thieves will be searching for.

With an Assetsure arranged policy you’re covered both at home and away from home including having items stolen whilst you are wearing them.

When away from your home, (or another private dwelling in the UK where you are staying temporarily) your jewellery must be either: worn by you, or carried under your close personal control, or kept in a locked safe, or kept in a locked gym locker whilst you remain on the gym premises.

Unfortunately, street robberies do occur which are distressing and we advise everyone to be vigilant when wearing jewellery outdoors, particularly in unfamiliar areas. Whilst insurance will compensate for any loss, it will not help to relieve the stress a robbery can cause.

Jewellery valued over £10,000 must also be kept in a safe when left unattended at home (or another private dwelling in the UK where you are staying temporarily)
