Also...lots of threads here for insurance. I have insurance...with my homeownders policy, paying about $80 annually, I think, to cover $6.5K value, or thereabouts. Chubb & Jeweler's Mutual are two frequently discussed stand alone insurers here..

Which brings me to the fact that I have Travelers insurance, through Geico. I pay a few hundred a year but my insured value is significantly higher than yours. It's definitely worth it to have the insurance if you wouldn't be able to easily replace the ring at full cost if something happened to it.

neatfreak Ideal Rock Total Posts: 13,450 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 2/17/2007	My ring is valued at $5700 retail (not inflated insurance appraisal), we paid a bit less than $4500. I insured it for the full value since it was just a bit of difference, and here in WI it costs me 1% of retail value through Jewelers Mutual, so $57 per year. The key to determining your need for insurance is simple: If lost, damaged, or stolen, could you afford to replace the ring without feeling pinched financially? If the answer is yes, then you don't need to bother paying for insurance. If not, you should insure your ring.

The premium will not be a ton of money to pay each year and damage happens, theft happens, center stones fall out, and people loose their rings...things happen and it would be heartbreaking if they happened to you and you didn't have insurance.
