Jewelry Insurance 101: Because Your Most Loved Pieces Deserve Protection

July 13, 2026

We believe your diamond should be protected for life—not just the moment. At Hannah Florman, we design heirloom-quality pieces meant to last generations—but life happens. Whether it’s a misplaced engagement ring, a necklace damaged during travel, or a bracelet that never made it home from dinner, the truth is: even the most cherished pieces are vulnerable. That’s why we always recommend insuring your fine jewelry.

The Spark

Why Jewelry Insurance Matters

Your engagement ring isn’t just a piece of jewelry—it’s a symbol, a memory, a milestone. And while we never want to think about losing or damaging it, insuring your piece offers priceless peace of mind. It ensures that if the unexpected happens, you're covered—emotionally and financially.

Accidents, theft, or damage are unpredictable. But being prepared? That’s empowering.

Jewelry Insurance Guide 101

So, what exactly can you insure?

  • Engagement rings & wedding bands

  • Watches and fine jewelry

  • Luxury handbags, fine art, and furs (in most states)

Whether you have a single piece or a growing collection, we believe every item you love should be protected.

At Hannah Florman, we provide our clients with a detailed jewelry appraisal for every custom piece. From there, we typically recommend insuring your jewelry either through your homeowners' insurance or through Chubb Insurance, a trusted provider offering specialized coverage for fine jewelry and high-value personal items.

What Is a Jewelry Appraisal (and Why Do You Need One)?

Before insuring your jewelry, you'll need a written appraisal. This is a document that establishes the retail replacement value of your piece—what it would cost to recreate it today using comparable materials and craftsmanship.

Each Hannah Florman appraisal includes:

  • Carat weight, cut, color, and clarity of diamonds or gemstones

  • Metal type, weight, and setting details

  • Photographs and identifying characteristics

  • Retail replacement value, formatted for insurance use

 Pro tip: This document is essential when submitting a claim, and should be shared with your insurance provider as soon as coverage begins.

How Often Should I Update My Appraisal?

Jewelry values can shift over time due to changes in market pricing for diamonds, gold, and labor. To ensure your coverage remains accurate, we recommend updating your appraisal every two years.

We’re always happy to assist with updated appraisals if your piece was made with us—or connect you with a certified gemologist if needed.

Choosing the Right Insurance Provider

While many clients insure their jewelry through existing homeowners or renters policies, we also recommend looking into Chubb Insurance, known for its exceptional service and tailored policies for fine jewelry. Whether you’re insuring a single piece or your full collection, Chubb offers:

  • Agreed-value coverage

  • Worldwide protection

  • No deductible options

  • Streamlined claims and replacements

We have a dedicated agent we trust and refer clients to directly—someone who understands the value of your Hannah Florman piece and will walk you through every step.
