Valentine's Day celebrates love, commitment, and special moments. To the lovers of life-especially those who adore the finer things in life-words of love are spoken with pieces of fine jewelry, watches, designer bags, or other valuable works of art. It is not mere tokens of affection but heirloom pieces that pass down through generations. But great value comes with great responsibility. Just like purchasing them, it is equally important that these valued possessions are protected with tailored, specialized insurance. Why should you insure your Valentine's Day gifts? The sentimental and financial value of luxury collectibles: To high-net individuals, their collections are more often than not much more than mere things: investments, status symbols, legacies. A great vintage Rolex or Hermès Birkin included original pieces of fine art can appreciate significantly over time, making them as much a financial asset as an emotional one. These, however, can be prone to such factors as theft, loss, damage by accident, and even natural hazards. One unfortunate occurrence, minus having the right type of customised insurance, would bring about an irreplaceable financial and emotional loss. Therefore, bespoke watch insurance, jewellery insurance, handbag insurance, and art insurance is not something to be taken for granted by serious collectors and enthusiasts. Why your collection deserves much more than just standard insurance: Unfortunately, many valuable collectors mistakenly think their high-value valuables are suitably insured under their household insurance policy. But all too often, cover under a standard home insurance policy has its limitations in valuing the worth of a treasured object and simply does not account for full market values or agreed value insurance. They do not cover for particular perils like mysterious disappearances, accidental damage, and/or global travel loss.
