What does jewellery insurance cover?

Jewellery insurance generally covers loss, theft, or damage of your item, with some exclusions. It may be worth considering over regular contents insurance if you’re insuring something specialised or of high value.

JewelCover Insurance Review

No reviews yet. Write a review

JewelCover stands out by waiving the excess when you make a claim.
The policy includes a 25% additional buffer for your sum insured for value increases.
Consider if a specialised jewellery policy offers better value than home contents insurance.

Pros

JewelCover will waive the excess for you when you make a claim.
A 25% extra buffer on your sum insured, in case your jewellery increases in value.
Cover for loss, theft, damage and disappearance - at home, out of the house, and overseas.

Cons

You may get better value insuring your item through your home contents insurance.
There’s no cover for general wear and tear, or damage done during restorations.
Jewellery insurance focusses on objective value, rather than sentimentality, so if you have a low-value piece which means a lot, you might not be satisfied with the payout.

How does JewelCover compare with other popular providers?

JewelCover offers similar benefits to other jewellery insurance brands, and its 25% additional cover benefit is the same as Jewelsure. However, some brands go beyond this 25% extra benefit, including Q Report and Centrestone, which both offer up to 50% additional cover. However, JewelCover does offer a stand-out benefit of no excess on claims.
