Single Item Insurance

If you are looking for insurance for a single item, then why not consider a policy arranged by Assetsure. We can arrange “All-risks” insurance which has been especially designed to insure single items or collections of items. The policy has no requirement for you to buy insurance for any other sections such as buildings and contents, it is an entirely standalone insurance designed simply to protect your most valuable items against a wide range of perils on a worldwide basis. Most claims are settled by the insurers without any excess, and you can choose from a range of valuable items to cover.

Accidental Damage

If your single item is damaged, can you afford to repair or replace it

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

Single items of jewellery can sometimes become damaged, for example, 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.

Claws and settings can also become damaged and broken and a “No excess “policy from Assetsure will pay for repairs

If you have a valuable single item of jewellery, insurance from Assetsure can pay for repairs in the event of accident damage occurring.
