Priceless or Underinsured? The Changing Landscape of 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 dont realise how much values have increased - the need to specify these items due to higher value is not recognised. 

Who is it for?

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
