You have automatic worldwide cover for all risks, with almost no restrictive conditions. This includes accidental loss or damage, even when travelling.
If your jewellery is lost, stolen or damaged beyond repair:
Our agreed value is as much as 25% of the total specified sum of your new purchase immediately for 60 days, up to £250k. Our agreed value for specified items gives you certainty about what you will receive. You can also receive a lower premium rate for specified jewellery.
If you lose part of a pair or set:
We will pay the full agreed value of the entire set.
If your jewellery loses value when damaged:
We will compensate you for any loss in its agreed value due to the claim.
If you buy a new piece:
We will cover as much as 25% of the total specified sum of your new purchase immediately for 60 days, up to £250k
Agreed Value:
If there is no such valuation in existence, we will still pay the agreed value. No excess will apply if art is lost or stolen.
Repairs after a loss:
If a piece of art is repaired following a loss and its value has reduced, we will reimburse you for the depreciation.
Newly purchased art:
If you are a Signature insured client you are automatically covered for up to €5,000,000 and you have up to 90 days to tell us about the purchase(s).
Legal costs:
If you are a signature client we will pay you up to £500k for the reasonable legal costs you may incur due to claims made against you for defective or lack of title to an item of art, which you were not aware of when it was purchased.
Unspecified art cover:
Under Chubb’s unspecified art cover, you can collectively cover items with an individual value of no more than £100k without needing to specify them separately.
The maximum amount we will pay depends on the level of cover purchased. Examples of limits in this article are based on our Signature level cover.
