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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

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:
Is my jewellery covered when I wear it outside of the house?
What if I travel with my jewellery (interstate or overseas)? Will it be covered? For how long and are there any other restrictions?
If I lose my jewellery and need to make a claim, will the full insured value be covered? Or is it up to the insured value?
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?
What happens if the value of my jewellery changes? Do I have to get it revalued every year and send you an updated revaluation?

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.
To get an accurate insurance quote, please provide the amount from your purchase receipt.
