Avoiding Valentines Day CatastropheUncategorizedFebruary 13, 2017With Valentines Day right around the corner it is easy to get caught up in the excitement. This holiday represents all the love and affection we have for our significant other. We often express this love through lavish gifts of chocolate, flowers, and of course, jewellery. Chocolate and flowers are quickly eaten or expire but jewellery can be passed on forever. For those who plan to splurge a little on expensive jewellery for your partner this Valentines Day, we have provided a few tips on how to keep your expression of love safe this holiday. Check your insurance policy. Standard policies only include jewellery coverage for a modest limit. If you are the type who buys jewellery every Valentines Day, over the years your jewellery may have accumulated to a significant value surpassing your standard limit. It may be a good idea to speak to your broker about the options available to you. Have your valuable items appraised. If you are spending a significant amount of money on anything, it is always a good idea to have it authenticated and appraised by a professional to ensure the true value of the item. Conceal your items, especially when it comes to expensive jewellery. The box or shopping bag you carry around while browsing advertises your purchase and can make you an easy target for criminals. With these few tips your Valentines Day can be memorable and worry free. Contact our trusted Insurance Brokers today if you have any questions regarding your policy and what options are available.
