Congratulations on your Engagement..now what?

After sharing the news of your engagement with both your parents, make sure you call your insurance company to insure your ring.

Question to ask when choosing a policy:

  • Is the ring covered if you lose it accidentally, or only if it's stolen?

  • How will the company replace the ring -- with a check? Or will they require you to purchase a replacement through a specified jeweler?

  • What if it's a vintage ring or other unique piece? How will the quality and size of your diamond -- and that of a replacement if needed -- be documented?

  • Is the ring insured to full cost or a fraction of it?

  • How will you need to prove the ring vanished if you make a claim?

  • Are there any circumstances that aren't covered? (What if your ring flies off at the circus and gets trampled by elephants, for example?)
Putting a policy on your engagement ring may sound unromantic, but nothing's sweeter than peace of mind.
