Jewellery Collections Insurance

A Jewellery and Collectibles Insurance policy covers collections of jewellery for persons that cannot obtain cover under a home insurance policy or simply would rather have a specialist stand alone policy. Sometimes because of policy restrictions, particularly when dealing with high value sums insured, it is not possible to insure your jewellery collection with the remainder of your contents and thus an alternative arrangement must be sought most be sought.

A Specialist policy that covers collections of Jewellery

We arrange a policy which covers jewellery on a stand alone basis, offering wide cover on items of jewellery or collections. We have arranged a policy to offer world wide all risks insurance with no excess in the event of a loss and there is no restrictions on the amount of time you can spend abroad. Policies we arrange are designed for UK citizens only.

What will we cover

Almost any item of jewellery including watches, we will provide a schedule of insurance with full details of your jewellery insured and you can add and delete items throughout the policy term on a pro-rata basis (once a policy has been set up we have no administration fees and adjustments can be made quickly).

Whilst it is preferable to specify most items, for smaller valued items under a £1000.00 we can also obtain insurance on unspecified basis if you so require.

Valuations & Quotes

We consider each quote on it’s merits and are used to dealing with high sums insured quotation requests, you may fill in one of our online forms or alternative telephone our office and we can have a discussion with regard to your requirements. We can normally obtain quotations immediately or in the case, where we have to refer to underwriters, usually the same day We provide full policy documents immediately by email and all policies come with a 30 day cooling off period giving you plenty of time to review the cover.

Theft

If your house is burgled, items of jewellery are amongst the items most likely to be stolen.

Whilst wearing your items, you are covered if someone steals them from you. In most cases however, the bulk of a collection of jewellery is kept at home with only a few pieces worn on a daily basis. If you are burgled, these are the items prized by thieves and most likely to be stolen. A policy arranged by Assetsure will protect you against theft with no excess to pay in the event of a claim.

If you have a large collection of Jewellery (in excess of £10,000) our insurers will expect you to have a safe at home.

Accidental Damage

Accidents happen, we ensure that your item can be repaired or replaced.
