Diamond Ring Insurance

We provide diamond ring insurance as a standalone insurance policy, we are happy to insure single items or collections of diamond rings. We realise that often it is not possible to obtain diamond ring insurance under a home insurance policy, especially if the value is high. Our specialist diamond ring insurance policy provides an alternative for you offering wide cover on a worldwide basis for your most valuable items.

What type of diamond rings do we cover?

Our Assetsure policy is especially designed to cover the items you value the most. We have arranged a policy that offers wide insurance cover, with few restrictions or conditions, essential for diamond rings which are often worn continually.

Our policy is arranged on a world-wide all-risks basis, which is basically the widest form of personal possession cover you can obtain. It includes all the covers you would expect to find under a specialist policy designed to cover diamond rings such as; accidental damage, theft and loss. When dealing with a claim and replacing an item the policy has no excess to pay.


Why consider specialist diamond ring insurance?

Specialist diamond ring insurance gives you the opportunity to insure your most valuable rings without attaching it to any other insurance, usually this is your home insurance.

One advantage of separate diamond ring insurance is that it can help protect your home insurance no claims bonus. If you do need to make a claim for loss or damage to your diamond ring, and it is insured under your home policy, you may find you lose your no claims bonus.

Specialist diamond ring insurance ensures your specific item has a wide range of cover if anything were to happen such as; accidental loss, accidental damage, theft, loss of stone. You’ll usually also be given worldwide insurance cover.

Is loss of the stone covered?

Yes, if you lose or damage the stone or stones in your diamond ring, your policy will cover you. On some high valued rings, there is a ” settings clause” which states that every couple of years, you will need to have the settings checked by a jeweller. In some cases, it is possible to have a settings check online, please contact our office if you require information about this service.
In many cases, the two year period, starts from the date you buy a policy from us.

For certain high value items, we will inform you if there are any special conditions such as having the settings checked by a jeweller at biannual periods.

Accidental Loss

If you lose you precious diamond ring, insurance will protect you.

The thought of losing a precious diamond ring can be a worry and although insurance can never replace sentimental value, we can work quickly with you and the insurers to provide a replacement item. As well as diamond engagement rings, we can insure any type of ring containing diamonds (or other precious stones)

Most losses of jewellery occur away from the home, either the whole ring or one of its components such as the diamond or one of the smaller stones contained on or within the band. The smaller stones are notorious for working loose over a period of time and if they fall out, are often impossible to locate.


Loss of stone

We cover all stones in your ring including the smaller ones. There is no excess to pay either so items are replaced without deduction making a claim for a smaller stone to be a viable option.

Accidental Damage

Cover for repairs following damage

Precious metals and stones can be damaged.

With any item, you would expect natural ageing, wear and tear but sometimes more serious damage can occur.

Whilst diamonds are arguably one of the hardest naturally occurring substances found on Earth, they can surprisingly be damaged quite easily, particularly if the shape is an unusual one such as in the case of pair shaped diamonds. Following an accident, stones may drop out of a ring and we can pay for a jeweller to reset them for you or to replace any that are damaged.

Damage to the integrity of the ring itself such as to the claws and settings can also occur and all of these scenarios are also covered by an Assetsure arranged policy..
