Is My Jewelry Covered Under Homeowners Insurance?
Each piece of jewelry has a different value. And most homeowners insurance policies only cover jewelry up to $1,500 for loss by theft. This means if your jewelry is worth more than that and is lost or stolen, you’ll need more insurance protection with coverage like our valuable items blanket coverage. When you have this insurance, you’ll want to make sure you report any losses as quickly as possible.
