Lost engagement ring

Charolett, on February 18, 2020 at 7:31 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6
My engagement ring went down the drain for real! Luckly i had it insured and they are sending me a check to replace it. Question is IF i find a cheaper ring do i have to give some of the money back or can i buy a band with the extra?

    No, the insurance company is giving you the amount that they deemed is the current value of the ring you lost. If you choose to spend less on your replacement ring, or to get two rings (engagement and band) for that amount of money, that's your business. The insurance company won't even know, as you will deposit their check into your bank account and use your own money to buy the new ring(s). I'm sorry you lost it, but happy shopping!

    I would have a plumber or FH try to open the drain and see if it caught in the S loop!

    Ugh, worth a shot. And no, you don't. They assessed the value, so you're entitled to what they give you.

    Would you not have to get the new ring/set appraised and send that in to continue insurance coverage on the new ring/set? I don’t know the answer but am curious how that would work.
