jewellery

Jewellery is such a wide category of asset – from pearls to precious stones, gold to platinum, rings to 
necklaces – and everything in between.   
A small number of items can very quickly outgrow the limits on a standard household policy and need to 
be separately specified – but if those items are years old, what should the specified value be?  
Underinsurance is an increasing risk, as clients don’t realise how much values have increased – the need 
to specify these items due to higher value is not recognised.

This webinar is for:  - 
Brokers and insurers who insure jewellery for private clients (along with other asset classes such 
as watches, art and antiques) - - 
Claims handlers and loss adjusters who want to understand what to consider when jewellery is 
lost or damaged, and risks around valuations with which they may be presented  
Compliance teams considering how to ensure clients and policyholders get the information they 
need to make informed decisions, and that they are treated fairly
