Many years ago, before I became a nurse, I used to be a jeweler. I didn’t sell jewelry – I actually made it, or created designs on pieces for jewelery stores. I had my own business and since I, or rather my hands, were actually the most important equipment in my business I ended up insuring my hands.

Honest. I mean if I broke my hand or wrist in a fall, or perhaps broke my fingers while playing volleyball I wouldn’t have been able to create the jewelry designs, and being my companies only employee I would have been in a lot of trouble if I weren’t able to work for a while, nor if I had no other source of income during my recovery time. So yes, my hands were insured.

I can’t say that it was easy to find a company who had standard policies for insuring ones hands. I checked out a lot of companies that offered cheap home insurance, homeowner loans, and ones that would even let me compare home insurance and many other forms of insurance before I found one that would insure my hands.

I must say, it wasn’t cheap insurance, but for the peace of mind that it gave me I think it was worth it.

Have you ever insured anything that might have been considered strange or funny?
