Why should the insurance companies and their customers replace with Executive Diamond Services?

 

Executive Diamond Services LTD is the only specialty jeweller in Canada that does exclusively jewellery insurance claims for the industry. Our state of the art jewellery replacement software allows for a quicker turnaround time on quoting and our office based environment allows for lower overheads, allowing us to offer a better product at a better price.

 

Why would I replace vs. cashing out with my insurance company?

 

Executive Diamond Services LTD offers wholesale pricing on up to 80% of our products. The benefit to you the customer is that you are getting a great price and in most instances a better product for the amount we quoted to replace your lost jewellery. The prices we offer our insurance companies are typically up to 30% lower in some instances. Even if you have gone to your regular jeweller for a quote your insurance company will still only pay out the lower priced quote. This lower priced quote benefits you from a replacement perspective, whether you wanted to replace like for like or upgrade you will still be offered the same pricing structure. If you opt for a cash out with the intention of replacing with another jeweller you will typically be loose between 25% and in some cases up to 50% on the already lower quoted amount. If for example, we quote you $4000.00 dollars to replace your jewellery, if you opted for a cash out you would receive a cash out amount of approximately 3000.00 back on a cash out based on a min of 25%, if you took that $3000.00 to a regular jeweller the same quoted amount of 4000.00 would be a minimum retail amount of $5800.00 up to $7800.00 in some instance's. In theory, you stand to lose up to $4800.00. Please consult with your insurance company regarding your specific cash out policy; different carriers have different policies regarding cash outs.

 

What if I don’t know the quality of my diamond?

 

A lot of jewellery that is lost was purchased many years ago, and in most cases does not have any supporting documentation to support the loss. Executive Diamond Services will default to quoting a G in colour and SI2 in clarity diamond, with a very good cut grade and supported by a GIA certificate.
