Premium comprehensive insurance cover for Jewellery and Valuables
In 2006 Australia’s foremost Jewellery industry association, Diamond Guild Australia, sought to develop an innovative jewellery insurance product that would serve the needs of the discerning jewellery purchaser by offering a comprehensive, global standalone jewellery insurance policy where the client’s choice of jeweller is assured.
INTRODUCING MASTERCARE VALUABLE ITEMS
INSURANCE COVER
Underwritten at Lloyd’s of London and in partnership with the principals of Kalin Insurance Services who have been associated with Diamond Guild Australia since 2006, Diamond Guild Australia established a bespoke insurance product call DGA Mastercare Valuable Articles Insurance (DGA Mastercare Insurance).
BESPOKE INSURANCE FOR YOUR PRECIOUS PIECES
Diamond Guild Australia Mastercare Insurance offers a bespoke level of cover. For a Total Loss a policyholder can receive up to 125% of the sum insured1 and can have their precious pieces replaced by the jeweller that created them. This means that as a Mastercare client you may return to your original jeweller of choice to have your item replaced rather than a panel jeweller nominated by the insurance assessor — a typical practice under a general homeowner’s policy.
In addition, pieces can be instantly and comprehensively insured from the point of purchase with a standalone policy that offers worldwide, all risk cover. Cover can be taken out without the need for home and contents insurance.
This makes MASTERCARE INSURANCE BY DIAMOND GUILD AUSTRALIA the perfect choice for first jewellery purchases such as engagement and wedding rings.
Mastercare Insurance can also be extended to private vault cover for items including investment quality stones. For further information and to obtain a quotation including transportation to and from the vault storage facility contact your Diamond Guild Australia member.
To ensure that the highest level of cover2 for your Valuable Article is offered at the most competitive of premiums3 DGA Mastercare Insurance is offered exclusively via Diamond Guild Australia member jewellers.

Notes
- If the cost to replace Your Valuable Article exceeds the Sum Insured, We will pay up to 125%
of the Sum Insured or an additional $50,000, whichever the less, provided Your Valuable Article was purchased
from Your Diamond Guild Australia Jeweller within the last 12 months or a Replacement Cost Valuation was issued within the last 12 months and the Valuable Article was insured for this amount.
- In the Initial Policy Period the Sum Insured for Your Valuable Article is the purchase price
that You paid or the Replacement
Cost valuation given by Your Diamond Guild Australia Jeweller. In Subsequent Policy Period(s),
it is Your responsibility to ensure that that Sum Insured is adequate to cover the Replacement Cost.
We recommend that You return to Your Diamond
Guild Australia Jeweller each year to have the Valuable Article revalued for insurance purposes.
- When calculating Your premium, a range of rating factors are taken into account. These factors and the degree
to which they affect Your premium will depend on the information You provide to Us.
Some factors that impact the calculation of Your premium include:
Where You live and where Your Valuable Article is kept
The security at Your home
The Sum Insured
Your previous insurance and claims history.
- The Valuable Article described in Your Schedule is insured against physical loss or physical
damage occurring anywhere in the world during the Policy Period subject to the Sum Insured, terms, conditions,
limitations and exclusions as stated in this Policy.
There will be no cover after the Initial Policy Period unless We agree to renew this Policy at Your request.
