For a man, buying an engagement ring not only signifies a major step in your relationship but also you want to make sure you picked the best ring that your soon to be fiance will love. For a woman, an engagement ring signifies your future with the man you love and something you may have dreamed up all your life. This is why it is important to make sure you have insurance in case something happens to the ring.

So what do you do to make sure your beautiful ring is covered? Ring insurance can be purchased as an extension of your renters’ or homeowners’ insurance policy. Renters and homeowners insurance policies cover the stuff in your home but only up to a certain dollar value. Expensive items, such as an engagement ring, are guaranteed through scheduled personal property coverage. This extension policy usually offers more coverage than a standard homeowners policy.

How do you know if you need this insurance? Any and every coupe with jewelry that is high in dollar value, whether it be $500 or $50,000, sentimental value an insurance policy is important. Even though the memories that come with the ring are irreplaceable, the ring itself can be replaced if something were to happen to it.

At John E. Peakes Insurance Agency we make sure your ring is covered for every potential ring threatening situation from theft to damage or even dropping it in the lake while swimming. Let us make one of your most memorable purchases safe against anything!
