But with a great engagement ring comes great responsibility\u2026  While there is no way to insure the sentimental value of such a gift, having the right insurance coverage will provide financial protection, according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iii.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Insurance Information Institute<\/a> (I.I.I.). <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The word &#8216;insurance&#8217; is not likely to be the first word on many lovers&#8217; lips this Valentine&#8217;s Day. However, if an expensive gift of jewelry is lost or stolen it can certainly soothe the sting of losing a cherished gift,&#8221; said <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JeanneSalvatore\" target=\"_blank\">Jeanne M. Salvatore<\/a>, the I.I.I.&#8217;s chief communications officer. &#8220;Your first step after receiving a valuable engagement ring\u2014well, maybe your second after saying yes!\u2014should be to call your insurance professional.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jewelry losses are among the most frequent of all homeowners content related insurance claims. Fortunately, there are four steps to ensure adequate protection for your new ring: <\/p>\n<p><b>1. Contact your insurance professional immediately.<br \/><\/b>Find out whether you will need additional insurance. Most standard homeowners and renters insurance policies include coverage for personal items such as jewelry; however, many policies limit the dollar amount on jewelry to $1,000 to $2,000. With the average engagement ring costing nearly $6,000, according to The Knot, that is unlikely to be enough coverage for your new bauble.    <\/p>\n<p>To properly insure jewelry, consider purchasing a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iii.org\/article\/floaters-and-endorsements-special-coverage-valuables\" target=\"_blank\">floater or an endorsement<\/a> policy. In most cases, these add-ons to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iii.org\/article\/what-covered-standard-homeowners-policy\" target=\"_blank\">homeowners<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iii.org\/article\/what-you-need-know-about-renters-insurance\" target=\"_blank\">renters<\/a> policy would also cover you for &#8220;mysterious disappearance.&#8221; This means that if your ring falls off your finger and is flushed down a drain, or is lost, you would be financially protected. And unlike a homeowners policy, floaters and endorsements carry no deductibles, so there is no out-of-pocket expense to replace the item.<\/p>\n<p><b>2. Obtain a copy of the store receipt.<br \/><\/b>Forward a copy of the receipt to your insurer\u2014so that your company has a record of the current retail value of the ring\u2014and keep a copy for your own records. It&#8217;s also a good idea to get a copy of the appraised value of the item.<\/p>\n<p><b>3. If you received an heirloom piece, have it appraised.<br \/><\/b>Antique jewelry will need to be appraised for its dollar value. You can ask your insurance professional to recommend a reputable appraiser.<\/p>\n<p><b>4. Add the item to your home inventory.<br \/><\/b>An up-to-date inventory of your personal possessions can help you purchase the correct amount of insurance and speed up the claims process if you have a loss, so remember to add your new ring to your inventory. And if you don&#8217;t yet have an inventory, celebrate your engagement by creating one with your fianc\u00e9e. To make creating a home inventory as easy as possible, the I.I.I. offers a free inventory tool: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knowyourstuff.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Know Your Stuff\u00ae<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><b>Renters Insurance <br \/><\/b>Finally, if you don&#8217;t think you need renters insurance, think again. A 2014 Insurance Information Institute poll found that 96 percent of homeowners had homeowners insurance but only 37 percent of renters had renters insurance. If you rent your home, renters insurance can provide important financial protection in the event your belongings are stolen or destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In my many conversations with consumers, personal finance bloggers and insurance educators they have noted that the purchase of an engagement ring often triggers interest in getting a renters insurance policy for the first time, as many (especially young) people start to think more seriously about financially protecting themselves,&#8221; said Salvatore.<\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED LINKS<\/b><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Articles: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iii.org\/article\/floaters-and-endorsements-special-coverage-valuables\" target=\"_blank\">Floaters and Endorsements<\/a>; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iii.org\/articles\/how-do-i-take-a-home-inventory-and-why.html\" target=\"_blank\">How to Conduct a Home Inventory<\/a> <\/li>\n<li>Facts and Statistics: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iii.org\/facts_statistics\/homeowners-and-renters-insurance.html\" target=\"_blank\">Homeowners and Renters Insurance<\/a> <\/li>\n<li>Videos: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iii.org\/video\/valentines-day-gifts.html\" target=\"_blank\">Insuring Valentine&#8217;s Day Gifts<\/a>; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iii.org\/video\/taking-home-inventory\" target=\"_blank\">Home Inventory<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><i>We like to celebrate Valentine&#8217;s Day by ensuring that your loved ones and valuables are financially protected\u2014more on our <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/iiiorg\/valentine-s-day\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b><i>Valentine&#8217;s Pinterest Board<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>The I.I.I. has a full library of educational videos on its <\/i><\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/iiivideo\" target=\"_blank\"><b><i>You Tube Channel<\/i><\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><b><i> Information about I.I.I. mobile apps can be found <\/i><\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.iii.org\/software\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b><i>here<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>THE I.I.I.
