Jewellery insurance
Don’t leave yourself open to the heartbreak of losing a precious piece of uninsured jewellery. Items of jewellery can often be covered under a standard contents house insurance policy for a small additional cost. However, pay attention to limits placed by the insurance company, as you may have to list high value items separately.

T.H.March can also give complete home contents cover quotes and quotes for joint buildings and contents cover. They are particularly competitive where there is a high value of jewellery to be covered under the policy.

It is important to understand that precious metal prices have increased dramatically over recent years. Therefore, it is imperative that the values covered by your insurance reflect current rather than historic prices. Trends in metal prices can be seen in graphical format on www.gold.co.uk and then click on the particular metal in order to view a graph of price movements. This will give you an idea of percentage movements in prices since purchasing your jewellery, although take care as the overall prices per gram quoted will NOT reflect jewellery shop prices. If in doubt as to the value of your jewellery items, either get in touch with us to arrange a valuation at our premises in Farringdon, London or use a jeweller in your local area. Prices for this service typically range between 1% and 2% of the overall value of the pieces valued.
