Does Homeowners Insurance Cover A Lost Diamond?
- 12689 POINTSview profileTed RatliffOwner, SFS Associates,If the jewelry is a scheduled item it would cover it in most cases. Scheduling an item means that it is specifically listed on the policy for an appraised amount. If you own expensive items it is always best to get them appraised and scheduled. Jewelry is covered under a homeowners policy for specific perils, but only up to an aggregate limit. Check with your agent and have him review your coverage with you.Answered on April 28, 2013flag this answer

To cover loss an item should be scheduled on either on a homeowners policy or a separate policy can be purchased. This type of coverage could pick up a loss under the coverage mysterious disappearance. I recommend anyone with jewelry in value over $1,500 to consult their agent.Answered on April 28, 2013flag this answer
