Still not convinced on why you need insurance for your jewellery? This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pacific Prime Singapore<\/a> article gives you 8 reasons why.<\/p>\n<div class='code-block code-block-5' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/compare-quotes\/step-one\/?campSource=PPSG-Blog&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=cta_banner&utm_campaign=banner&utm_content=quote?campSource=PPSG-Blog&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=content_banner&utm_campaign=banner&utm_content=general\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Blog-Banner_Singapore_1.jpg\" width=\"1138\" height=\"493\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n<h2>1. Keeping those sparkling earrings in the jewellery box is a shame<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s perhaps counterintuitive, but so very true: the more valuable the item, the less you\u2019re going to want to use it. For instance, you might worry about it getting damaged, lost, or stolen. However, while those sparkling earrings are safer in your jewellery box, it\u2019s a shame to leave them sitting there. After all, what\u2019s the point of owning them if you can\u2019t freely use them? Knowing that your items are protected though jewellery insurance will encourage you to wear them more often!<\/p>\n<h2>2. You shouldn\u2019t have to worry about your expensive necklace when you\u2019re traveling<\/h2>\n<p>Going on holiday means you\u2019ll want to look and feel your best. That means bringing your jaw-droppingly gorgeous necklace with you. But you shouldn\u2019t have to worry about misplacing your valuables whilst traveling as there\u2019s already a million other worries to deal with. Of course, securing jewellery insurance doesn\u2019t mean you can be negligent. It just means you can focus on the important stuff like making new memories, rather than being consumed by fears of losing your precious items.<\/p>\n<h2>3. An engagement ring is something you put on every day, so wear and tear is only natural<\/h2>\n<p>Engagement rings are common jewellery that most people are attached to because there\u2019s only one that you wear every day. Although you can be careful to protect your engagement ring, without the need for engagement ring insurance, there are many things out of your control. For example, your fingers might change size due to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/health\/healthyliving\/why-your-fingers-expand-and-shrink-242735.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">temperature<\/a> or your friends may be excited to try it on. Everyday wear and tear is natural, so insurance for jewellery is a sensible choice.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Pass your Rolex down to your children, who will do the same with theirs<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you inherited that timeless Rolex watch or decided to spoil yourself by purchasing one, it would be nice to keep up your family legacy by passing it down to the next generation. So much of what one pass down to one\u2019s children is intangible, such as life lessons or practical skills, but a treasured watch is tangible. It\u2019s a token of your bond that can be touched and felt. Pass it down on an important occasion like a birthday, graduation, or wedding. However, before you do that, you\u2019ll want to ensure the watch is protected through jewellery insurance.<\/p>\n<h2>5. It\u2019s not going to cost you a fortune (unlike, your jewellery itself!)<\/h2>\n<p>Luxury jewellery does not come cheap as it can easily set you back thousands of dollars. In comparison, the cost of a jewellery insurance plan is negligible. Annual premiums are typically around 1-2% of the jewelery\u2019s value, which is determined through appraisal. In Pacific Prime Singapore\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/plans\/jewellery-insurance#items-description:~:text=Features%20of%20our%20jewellery%20insurance%3A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jewel Plus + plan<\/a>, plans start from SGD $57.50 and a free appraisal is performed by our partners in most cases. However, sentimental valued items require you to hire a specialist.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Unlike some other insurance policies, jewellery insurance is very comprehensive<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t remember exactly how, where, and when the loss occurred? Don\u2019t worry as jewellery insurers classify this as \u201cdisappearance\u201d and you can still expect to be covered. If you go with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/plans\/jewellery-insurance#items-description:~:text=Features%20of%20our%20jewellery%20insurance%3A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jewel Plus + plan<\/a>, you\u2019ll get comprehensive features including things like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u2018All Risks\u2019 coverage<\/strong>: Protects you against theft, loss, damage, disappearance, fire, and natural disaster.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sets and pairs coverage<\/strong>: Lost only one item in a set or pair? Get full coverage anyway.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No excess or deductibles: <\/strong>That just means you don\u2019t have to pay out-of-pocket.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coverage for new items<\/strong>: Get automatic coverage for new items up to 25% of sum insured.<\/li>\n<li><strong>High replacement value<\/strong>: Replacement value covered is up to 125% of jewellery value.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Worldwide coverage<\/strong>: Travel abroad often? Your items are covered across the globe.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>And more!<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>7. For investment purposes, you can justify the premium for jewellery insurance<\/h2>\n<p>Jewellery isn\u2019t just a pretty thing &#8211; often, it can be a solid investment. Avi Hiaeve, founder of Avi &amp; Co., an exclusive high-end retailer, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/wealthy-people-buying-luxury-watches-as-they-shift-from-stocks-2020-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Business Insider<\/a> that most understand that many luxury watches hold good investment value. Given that one may buy jewellery for investment purposes, the premium for jewellery insurance can all the more be justified. It\u2019s not a waste of money on something that looks nice, but it\u2019s a sensible move to protect and safeguard your most valuable assets.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cA lot of people turn from a hobby to a business in the watch game. A lot of collectors that I know that used to buy from me, after a while they started buying for investments &#8211; buying, selling, and trading\u201d &#8211; Avi Hiaeve, Founder of Avi &amp; Co.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>8.
