How does jewelry insurance payout?
There are two ways to receive a payout — cash value or replacement cost. If you opt for cash value, the insurance company will pay you the value of your jewelry, minus depreciation. Replacement cost is the way to go, particularly for valuable jewelry.
At what value should you insure jewelry?
The general rule for insuring wedding and engagement rings is $1 to $2 for every $100 of value, paid annually. A $5,855 ring, for example, would cost around $59 to $118 per year to insure. If you live in a city where the risk of theft is higher, then you can expect to pay a bit more for your coverage.
