Imagine coming home from vacation and realizing your engagement ring is missing.
You retrace your steps. Call the hotel. Search every bag.
Nothing.
You have homeowners insurance, so you assume you're covered.
But here's the part that surprises people.
A standard homeowners policy generally covers personal belongings against specific causes of loss, such as theft.
Simply losing an item or having it mysteriously disappear may not be covered.
And even when jewelry is stolen, your policy may have special limits on how much it will pay.
That's why valuable jewelry sometimes needs additional protection through scheduled personal property coverage or a separate jewelry policy.
Depending on the coverage selected, that protection may include accidental loss.
The time to find out how your jewelry is insured isn't when you're searching the bottom of your suitcase.
If you own an engagement ring, valuable watch, or family heirloom, ask Wenclewicz Insurance whether your current coverage is enough.
