I never thought I’d be the type of person worrying about insuring my jewellery. Rings and chains and all that? they’re just “things,” right? Well, not really… one wrong move and you realize how much those little shiny pieces mean. That’s the day I started digging into InsureDirect Jewellery Insurance.

See, jewellery isn’t just “worth” what you paid. Some of it holds stories—like my grandmother’s old necklace. Other stuff, I saved for months to buy. If that went missing or snapped in half, I’d feel it in my chest. Insurance kinda makes sure that if (or when) bad luck happens, I’m not left with just memories.

Why I even care about Jewellery insurance

Here’s the deal: jewellery gets lost. More often than you think, honestly. People drop rings down drains, leave bracelets in hotel bathrooms, stones fall out when you don’t notice. Thieves—don’t even get me started. It takes seconds. And, yep, fires or water damage too.

At first I thought: “But wait, doesn’t my home insurance cover all that?” Haha, nope (well, sorta). Most homeowners insurance give you crumbs—like a thousand bucks, maybe two—if your jewellery goes. What’s that gonna do if your engagement ring is worth ten times that? That’s when I realized a standalone plan was smarter.

What I learned InsureDirect actually covers

So, InsureDirect lays out coverage in a way that felt less… fuzzy. No guessing. They pretty much handle the common nightmares:

Stolen items (burglary, robbery, whatever name you want)
Accidental damage – like cracked stones, snapped chains
Loss (the mysterious disappearance type… you know, the “I swear it was right there a minute ago” problem)
Fires, floods, random disasters

And they don’t tie it to your address only. I asked about travel, they said yes—it follows me anywhere. That part mattered because I’m usually paranoid wearing nice things abroad.

One thing I liked: replacement value. They don’t just shrug and give “depreciated” payouts. You get what it actually takes to replace it.

How I got insured with them

Honestly, the setup was stupid simple. Went on InsureDirect.com, tapped through a quote form. They asked for appraisals/photos—no big deal, I had a few receipts lying around.

Picked coverage that fit the price range of my collection (not massive, but important to me). Policy got locked in quicker than I expected. Next morning, covered.

Claims? Haven’t had to test them (thank god), but reading reviews, people say it’s way faster than the runaround with big-box insurance companies.

Why I didn’t just stay with homeowners insurance

Let me tell you: homeowners policies, they look good on paper, then you read the fine print. The limit for jewellery coverage is almost a joke. If you have something really worth it, the basic plan doesn’t come close. Plus, if you claim through your home insurance, your entire policy rates can go up.

With InsureDirect, it’s separate. Keeps my home premiums untouched, and my jewellery covered better.

Things I try to do besides insurance

Insurance doesn’t mean I’m careless. Some of my own habits help:

Keeping a fireproof safe for the pieces I don’t wear daily.
Avoid swimming or gym workouts with rings/necklaces (learned the hard way once).
Taking updated photos every year, just in case.
Getting jewellery cleaned and checked so clasps and prongs don’t loosen.

These are little things, but they back up the policy.

The way I see it

I don’t baby my jewellery, but I know what it means to me. One theft, one slip-up, one disaster… and without coverage, it’s gone forever. With InsureDirect Jewellery Insurance, I don’t walk around scared about wearing my favourite pieces.

And yeah, sure—insurance is boring. But peace of mind? That’s something you feel.
