Your wedding ring means a lot to you; it’s sentimental, reminds you of the commitment you pledged to your spouse and brings back lots of fond memories. When you lose that ring, it can feel devastating. However, losing your wedding ring isn’t the end of the world — there are some solutions you can choose from that might make the process after losing your wedding ring slightly more bearable. Order a replacement ring. While you search for your wedding ring, consider ordering a replacement ring to wear while you search. Silicone rings are great for this because they’re relatively inexpensive, go great with any outfit and are also perfect for everyday activities. While no one is forcing you to replace your ring, it can feel weird to go without wearing one. And, if you do recover your old wedding ring, you can keep the replacement handy for the event that you might need it again in the near future.

Based on the appraised value of your original ring, they will send you a check to help you cover the costs of replacing your ring. And, while nothing ever comes close to the original, if your jeweler is still working for the company you purchased your wedding ring from, they might be able to send you a piece that closely matches what you had before, especially if you had an entirely custom piece.

Ring insurance is just one of the many ways you can keep your assets — your ring, in this case — protected in the event something happens to it. While adding a rider to your homeowner’s insurance is a good thought, it doesn’t cover damage or loss to your ring if it happens outside the home. Take your honeymoon for example. If you don’t take a travel engagement ring with you on your honeymoon to wear, your sparkling diamond ring instantly becomes a target for thieves, swindlers and the like. We’re not kidding. Some studies estimate that over 20% of people have experienced jewelry loss or theft while traveling. If your ring is lost or stolen on your trip, your homeowner’s insurance can’t do anything about it. Ring insurance, though? They can definitely step in and help. In fact, that’s what they’re there for! While there is a monthly premium cost associated with ring insurance, it can go a long way in making you feel secure that, if something should happen to your heirloom items, they’ll be taken care of.
