Unique engagement rings

December 18, 2013

We’re going to chat about two very important things. You can’t, and shouldn’t have one without the other. First, there’s your engagement ring. Below you’ll see some beautiful engagement rings we found, that are more on the unique side. They have different cut diamonds, some have an unfinished look to them, and others have a vintage flare to them that we absolutely love. Secondly, you need to find the right jewelry insurance to protect it. The last thing you want to think about after saying yes to the proposal of your dreams, is losing the ring. Horrible thing to bring up after you’ve invested in it both financially and emotionally, we know. Sadly, it does happen.

In fact, according to claims received by Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company, provider of Perfect Circle® Jewelry Insurance, loss accounts for nearly one third of all jewelry claims received.

Acquiring jewelry insurance is an easy and important step in protecting your ring. Insurance is a cost everyone should build into their budget for purchases of valuable jewelry items. Sites like PerfectCircleInsurance.com offer handy premium calculators so you can easily get a quote and apply for coverage. Finding the appropriate insurance for your engagement and wedding ring in advance will alleviate the anxiety associated with even the most extreme cases of loss.

All kinds of accidents happen to rings. So what should you watch out for? Here are the top six reasons individuals typically report claims to Jewelers Mutual:

1. Mysterious disappearance. This may mean anything from setting your ring down and forgetting where you placed it to having it stolen without drawing your attention.

2. Lost at the beach or swimming pool. Water makes skin slippery, so if you keep your ring on your finger at the pool or beach make sure you keep a careful eye on it.

3. Left it in a public restroom or flushed down the toilet. Double check that your ring is still on your finger before you exit any room, especially a public restroom.

4. Lost while traveling. Your normal routine is completely thrown off while you travel, and there are many ways to lose your ring. You could forget to pick it up after going through security, lose it at a hotel, or have it slide off in a strange place without your knowledge.

5. Accidentally threw it in the garbage. You can accidentally throw away your ring when doing things as commonplace as drying your hands over the trashcan or tossing out a lunch tray that you had placed your ring on.

6. Chipped a stone when bumping something. All of your daily tasks will be different with your new rock, so decide which activities may be dangerous for your ring. If you remove it, designate a ring spot and make sure you only set your ring there when you take it off.

There are a variety of companies that insure jewelry, and costs can be similar among them. However, coverage can vary a great deal. Moral of the story? Do your research and make sure you’re covered in the event of any loss. That way, you’ll have confidence that your ring is protected so you can focus on creating more memories.
