Jewelry Coverage- Schedule the Important Stuff
Scheduled jewelry coverage on a homeowners policy protects owners of important items like wedding rings and inherited pieces against theft or damage. It does not cover mysterious disappearance. The coverage remains subject to the deductible stated in the policy declarations and requires an appraisal for each scheduled item.

So How Do You Do This?
You have a home policy and you automatically assume if someone steals your wife’s wedding ring and the antique jewelry grandma passed down to her, that it’s covered. Well possibly, but probably not for what your hoping for.
Most home policies (large majority) have very limited jewelry coverage built in. Sometimes as little as $500 or $1,000 (rarely more than $2,500), AND it’s subject to a deductible. So the most you will ever get back from the company for a true theft loss is what ever the built in limit is, and will be subject to a deductible, of times of 1% of what your house is insure for. So a 200,000 home would often carry a $2,000 deductible.
Another important thing to consider is that with most home policies, “mysterious disappearance” is specifically excluded. So if you are on vacation and you plainly lose a wedding ring, most often this claim would be excluded under most home policies.
So, How Do You Do This?
If it’s important to you, SCHEDULE IT. Scheduling simply means to add it to your policy. Companies will most often require a recent appraisal or receipt of purchase, but this accomplishes multiple things.
Key takeaways
- 1**It establishes a current value to the item**
- 2**It most often adds mysterious disappearance coverage back to your policy.**
- 3**It most often removes the deductible, so you now have a $0 deductible.**
