Popping the Bigger Question: Who should insure the engagement ring?

Now the REAL big question: Who should insure the engagement ring?
Your newly engaged, but your fiancee will live on their own until the big day– what do you do? This is a matter of insurable interest. When you purchase valuables (like an engagement ring) for someone else and you want to insure the item, you are trying to create insurable interest. Insurable interest says, "I have a strong interest in this item but it does not reside in my home with me; however, I should be able to insure it for a period of time."
The easiest way to create insurable interest for the person in possession of the ring is to make the use of the ring by her conditional...i.e., you still own the ring and it doesn't become your future spouse's until you both are married. Until that time, you have an insurable interest and there should be coverage under your policy.
If you make ownership conditional on marriage, you likely have an insurable interest and can insure it yourself. Since most homeowners policies limit theft of jewelry to about $1,500 (some less, some more), the ring should be scheduled on his homeowners policy. An alternative is for your fiancee to insure it on their policy since coverage usually extends to any property you use, not just property you own. This assumes that either or both have homeowners policies (or they live at home and are covered by their parents' policies). When you are married, you both should have a single homeowners policy with both as named insureds and the ring and other jewelry scheduled on the policy.
