High value jewellery insurance: the options

With regards to insuring valuable jewellery on a cruise ship holiday, there are 2 viable options. Inclusion within a high value home insurance policy or a stand-alone high value jewellery insurance policy.

 

For jewellery that is not as valuable, you could also think about inclusion on a standard home contents policy or cover provided by your travel insurance. A note of caution if you are considering either of these for high value items; a standard policy may limit the level of cover, for example: only £1,000 covered unspecified on a policy or perhaps a maximum £5,000 on specified items. It is also important check that cover is applicable overseas and not restricted to the UK or even to inside the home. With travel insurance be aware of a per item limit and also that it is most likely that your items will only be covered against loss and theft and not in event of fire, flood or accidental damage.

 



 

Making the right decision on high value jewellery insurance

There are a variety of factors to consider regarding the high value jewellery insurance options mentioned above. The right option for you very much depends on your individual circumstances and the jewellery you are looking to insure.

 

With a stand-alone policy you can get cover for up to £1m with no excess to pay and you’ll be insured for the replacement value of your items. In addition you are able to tailor the level of cover you need, for example do you need worldwide cover or would you prefer cover just for Western Europe?

 

With cover within a high value home policy, all items are automatically covered worldwide against loss and damage. Depending on where you are going and the items you are looking to insure, it is worth talking to one of our Account Managers to discuss your exact requirement.

What if I want to buy jewellery whilst on a cruise holiday?

Many people ask this question. There are plenty of opportunities to purchase jewellery whilst on a cruise, both ashore and on-board the ship, plus jewellery is a beautiful reminder of your adventure.

 

With this in mind, it is worth knowing that a standalone policy is tailored to specific items and so does not cover new purchases. However, a high value home insurance policy typically provides cover up to 20% of the total insured and so new items will automatically be covered provided you inform Highworth Insurance within 60 days.
