Jewelers Mutual® presents The Essential Buyer's Guide to Jewelry Insurance

NEEHAH, Wis., Oct. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --In a study by Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company, it was discovered that approximately 40 percent of U.S. households with an engagement ring do not have insurance to protect it.*

Why are people not insuring one of the most expensive items in their home? Consumer interviews revealed lack of awareness and understanding of jewelry insurance may play a role in the oversight.

To fulfill the unmet need for information, Jewelers Mutual introduces The Essential Buyer's Guide to Jewelry Insurance – a tell-all ebook that helps jewelry consumers decide how best to protect their jewelry with confidence.

"People who put meticulous thought into selecting the perfect piece of jewelry tend to also be careful decision makers when it comes to protecting their investment," added Woldt. "The Buyer's Guide was created with them in mind."

The all-inclusive ebook includes such important details as:

• The difference between repair or replacement coverage versus a cash policy
• What worldwide coverage really means
• How  much it costs to insure jewelry
• What a deductible is and how it can affect annual premium
• What to expect in the event of a claim
