That answer depends on the type of loss occurred. If you have a policy that offers Special coverage than you are covered for everything but what is excluded. If you have broad or basic coverage then you have a list in your policy of what types of losses are covered.
Typically jewelry will have a separate limit with a maximum of $500 per item. Clothes are considered part of your contents coverage and have no other limits.
Let us say it was a fire, then your clothes could be covered up to the limits of your policy and jewelry would be subject to the separate limits listed.
