Types of Insurance for an Engagement Ring

The standard renter’s insurance policy will usually cover your engagement ring if it is stolen from your home or it was completely destroyed in a fire or other tragedy. It will not typically cover your engagement ring from absentmindedly leaving it behind in a restaurant bathroom or at the nail salon. In that case, you won’t be covered unless you purchase a “floater” for the policy. This floater will expand your coverage and allow you to increase the dollar amount of coverage on that one piece of jewelry. Hearts of Fire Aerial Teardrop Diamond Wedding Band
