Homeowner's insurance policies typically provide limited coverage for jewelry. Policies generally do not cover jewelry, or gems from jewelry pieces, that are simply lost. Read your homeowner's insurance policy carefully to determine whether your valuables, such as a diamond ring, are adequately insured.
Then, does homeowner's insurance cover lost jewelry?
A standard homeowners policy typically does not cover lost jewelry, but jewelry that's under “schedule personal property” coverage is usually covered if it's lost. Jewelry protection insurance also usually covers lost jewelry.
Considering this, what type of insurance covers jewelry?
A standard homeowners policy includes coverage for jewelry and other precious items such as watches and furs. These items are covered for losses caused by all the perils included in your policy such as fire, windstorm, theft and vandalism.
A good insurance plan will cover the full value of your jewelry in the event of damage, theft, accidental loss, and mysterious disappearance. A jewelry insurance policy that promises to cover the full cost of your jewelry will almost always include sales taxes as a part of your coverage.
