What is the cost of your insurance for your jewelry?? I have my jewelry specifically listed on our home owners insurance and the cost is .94 per $100... seems quite expensive... What is everyone else paying??  I haven't looked @ Chubb.. Can someone give me a rough estimate of what they charge???  Thanks!!  Abbott

I am getting jeweler's mutual, for the value of the ring (6970) the premium is 157 per year for where we live.

Depends where you live.

Check out the threads on this one, it has been well discussed.

seems low to me. I think chubb is something like $2.30/$100. I pay $1.30/$100 on my homeowners policy. you can probably find better #'s by doing a search. also, if you go to jewelersmutual.com you can enter your #'s and state and they will give you a quote.

abbott,

0.94% is on the low end of the price scale but these things vary considerably with differences in coverage, address, claims history and the like.  The high end seems to be about 3%. Not everyone wants the same sorts of coverage and rather like shopping for the diamond, it’s a mistake to look only at the price.  Other big variables will include the claims procedure, the required deductible and what types of losses are covered.  A discount on a policy that doesn’t have the kind of coverage you want is no bargain.  On the other hand, many people count getting 2/3 of the coverage for half of the price to be a pretty good deal.

Hi Abbott:

Where you live makes a big difference in the premium that you will be quoted for a jewelry rider or policy. I am attaching a link to both Jewelers Mutual & Chubb. You should also talk to your home owners insurance agent, just to compare...........................because its only money!!

After you get the insurance write back and tell us what you did and if you can describe the experience.
