In the case of the Beckham’s 5 engagement rings may seem a little excessive, however perhaps if you lose 1 you still have another 4 to choose from whilst the insurance claim is processed. There is also the hope that David Beckham took advantage of insuring all 5 within the one policy, similar to inclusion on a high value home and contents policy which is one option for most of us.

Beyonce and Jay-Z have a particularly unique way of combating the risks associated with a $5million ring and that is to wear a replica worth a mere, $5,000. The fact that they are willing to pay more for a fake than many people spend on the actual ring, is proof that it is just as easy for a celebrity to lose one of these incredible rings as it is to lose or damage any engagement ring. In a world of risk; accidental damage, loss and theft, whether a ring is worth $500 or $5million, insurance is no laughing matter.
