Zillion Tales: 3 Real-Life Jewelry Insurance Claims We’ve Seen

Even the most cautious person might find themselves in a bad situation, wishing they’d bought an insurance policy for their wedding ring.

All of us here at Zillion have a rather…interesting relationship with jewelry insurance claims.

You might even say that it’s, well…

Complicated.

On the one hand, we absolutely appreciate and flat-out love the opportunity to help people. On the other hand, an incoming claim means the inevitable occurrence of something, well…

Unfortunate.

Simply put, it means that someone has had something bad happen to their beloved jewelry—and all too often, the loss, damage, theft, or assorted tragedy has befallen their engagement or wedding ring.

We don’t like that. Not at all. Because at Zillion, we take our responsibility to our jewelry insurance policyholders extremely seriously. Our goal is to make your insurance claim process as easy and stress-free as possible—which is even more important during times that inevitably entail an already super-stressful situation.

If you’re looking to purchase jewelry in the near future, you might think that a jewelry insurance policy just isn’t worth the money. Maybe you think jewelry theft is something that happens to other people, or that you’re always just so careful that you couldn’t possibly lose something as precious as your diamond engagement ring. In a perfect world, people wouldn’t ever actually need our jewelry insurance policies. But we simply don’t live in a perfect world, and even the most conscious, cautious person might find themselves in a bad situation, wishing they’d purchased an effective jewelry insurance policy for their engagement ring or wedding ring. Situations where valuable jewelry gets lost, damaged, or stolen happen more than you’d think.

Trust us. We know. Now we’d like to give you a sneak peek at three real-life jewelry insurance claims from three real-life Zillion users and reviewers that we’ve seen during our years of hard work. Alas, all three involve precious, pricey diamond engagement rings. 


Tale 1: Lost Doing Daily Errands

Here’s our first tale of woe, from a Zillion user/reviewer who shall remain anonymous:

“I was wearing my engagement ring in the morning when I went to pick up my best friend. We chatted, and then I dropped her off at her apartment. On the way home, I was wearing the ring in my car. I then went out and ran a few errands before picking up food for dinner….I remember that I didn’t have the ring on during the food pickup because the woman who handed me the food order commented on my nails. As I glanced down, I noticed the ring wasn’t on my finger. The errand was so quick, I didn’t think anything of the ring absence at the time and assumed it was back home in my jewelry box. The next day as I was getting ready for work, I opened my jewelry box…and my ring wasn’t there. When I didn’t see it there, my heart hit my stomach. I’ve searched everywhere: my home, my car; I even retraced my steps from the day before. I cannot find my ring anywhere. I’m devastated.”

Tale 2: Bridge Over Troubled Water

And now for tale number two:

“While walking over a bridge one day, my wife’s ring slipped off her finger and fell right into the River. At 6 a.m. the next day, we went down to the river to see if the ring had washed ashore with the waves. We looked up and down the river bank, searching through muddy water, but we never found it. We’re still shocked and speechless. I spent months researching diamonds and choosing the ring; it was the most precious item in our household.”

Tale 3: Swiped Away on Vacation

And now for the third and final cautionary tale:

“We were on vacation in London when my wife’s ring was stolen out of our hotel room while we were out exploring the city all day. We were tired from a full day and went straight to bed and didn’t notice it was missing until the following morning as we were packing and getting ready to check out. The hotel didn’t have a safe, and my wife left the ring in the nightstand. When we discovered it was missing, we immediately went to the front desk and then to the police station. We checked out of the hotel but hung around town waiting for good news, but the police officer said he went to the hotel and the ring didn’t turn up.”
