Timepiece Trip-up

Our reflexes aren’t always as sharp in the morning, as this unlucky Q Report client discovered the hard way. While getting ready for work, he dropped his heavy watch and shattered its face, which required professional repair. 

Thankfully, he was able to return to his original jeweller as his timepiece was covered with a Q Report watch insurance policy. This policy also granted him cover up to 150% of the watch’s agreed value.

The Hard to Handle

Anyone with an interest in luxury watches knows that the Omega Seamaster holds a special place in timepiece folklore. Originally introduced in 1948 and remaining in production to this day, the Seamaster strikes a perfect balance between rugged practicality and effortless style.

So it’s no surprise that this unlucky businessman treated his timepiece with the utmost care. Unfortunately, the Omega was no match for swinging metal.

While standing by the doorway in a meeting room, he had no time to react when the door swung open and struck his wrist with the handle, cracking the watch face.

The Dinner Disaster

There’s a long list of things you don’t want to find on the tablecloth when dining at a restaurant. Stray hairs and food stains can be off putting, but a chip from your emerald dress ring can be devastating.

This unlucky diner bumped her stunning ring while getting out of the car, and only noticed it was damaged when a dinner guest pointed out the chip of emerald lying loose on the tablecloth.
Thankfully, her Q Report jewellery insurance policy allowed her to return to her original jeweller for repair.

The Pain Train

When this doting husband traveled into town to give his fiancée’s diamond engagement ring a clean and polish, he thought he was giving it the care it deserved. But little did he know, it would take more than a clean and polish to fix what happened next.

After placing his bag, which held the newly-cleaned ring, beneath his seat on the train, he got to work on his laptop. In his rush to disembark at his station, he accidentally left the bag behind.

Thankfully, with Q Report’s coverage, he was able to replace his fiancée’s ring with a like-for-like item, providing the peace of mind he needed.

The Engagement Emergency

A romantic overseas proposal is supposed to feel like a dream come true, but for this couple, their dream engagement quickly became a nightmare.

After saying “YES!” in New York City, this new bride-to-be was crossing the street when her slightly-too-large ring slipped from her finger. Before it could be saved, multiple cars finished the job and broke it to pieces. It just goes to show how important it is to find the right ring size!

FAQs

Our FAQs cover everything from getting a quote to making a claim, so you can feel confident in your choice.

What will Q Report cover my jewellery for?

A Q Report policy provides cover for loss and damage to your jewellery. If your jewellery is lost, stolen or damaged, with Q Report you can make a claim to have your jewellery replaced or repaired. We also cover mysterious disappearance and loss or damage caused as a result of a natural disaster.

Why should I consider Q Report?

With Q Report, you’re speaking to people who live and breathe jewellery; not just insurance salespeople. We come from a jewellery background and know that when it comes to insuring jewellery, it's different from other items you may insure. We have a thorough appreciation for both the workmanship and the quality of your gems and jewellery.

With a Q Report policy your jewellery will be covered inside and outside the house including while travelling (subject to terms, conditions and exclusions). A Q Report Policy is also a Replacement policy, so you can be certain that you'll be put back in the same position as you were in prior to the loss or damage occurring. You can also return to your original or preferred jeweller in the event of a claim.

If you need to make a claim, you will deal directly with our expert team, with no outsourcing or runarounds. We’ll guide you through every step of the process and be there for you.

Since 2004, Q Report has built a strong reputation for exceptional service and jewellery claims expertise. Don’t just take our word for it - check out our reviews to see why thousands of Australian's trust Q Report.

Do I need jewellery insurance if I have home contents insurance?

Every insurance policy is different, as is each person’s circumstances. So we cannot comment on your home contents insurance policy. But we would suggest that you call your insurer and/or read the fine print to find out answers to the following essential questions:-


  1. Is my jewellery covered when I wear it outside of the house?
  2. What if I travel with my jewellery (interstate or overseas)? Will it be covered? For how long and are there any other restrictions?
  3. If I lose my jewellery and need to make a claim, will the full insured value be paid? Or is it up to the insured value?
  4. In the event of a claim, will I be able to choose the jeweller to repair or replace my jewellery or will I have to go to the jeweller you choose?
  5. What happens if the value of my jewellery changes? Do I have to get it revalued every year and send you an updated revaluation?

 

If you are not satisfied with your home contents insurer’s response to these questions, give us a call so you can see if our policy better suits your needs.

My jewellery came with a warranty. Is this different to insurance?

Yes. Warranty and Insurance are very different.

Warranty is intended to cover consumers for manufacturing defects for a limited time. It’s a guarantee that a product has been made correctly and that you are getting what you paid for.

Insurance will cover you for things like accidental damage, loss and theft.

When it comes to warranties, most products (including jewellery) are covered under Australian Consumer Law. In simple terms, when you purchase an item of jewellery it comes with an implicit warranty that you could wear it normally and if after say the first few weeks it broke or stones fell out, you should be covered under warranty. However, if you dropped the ring on a concrete floor, or your finger got hooked on an object which pulled it out of shape, this would be your responsibility unless you had insurance.
