Your renter’s, homeowner’s or condo coverage will offer coverage for your valuables, up to a certain amount.
Your policy will cover different types of valuables: jewelry, art, antiques, guns, furs, electronics, etc. (check your policy or bring it to us and we’ll show you).
However, there are circumstances where extra coverage is preferable or even necessary to protect your valuables.
Let’s take a look:
If my renter’s insurance policy covers up to $1,500 in jewelry with a $1,000 deductible, then I would want extra coverage if…
1. I own more than $1,500 in jewelry
2. I own a single piece of jewelry (like a wedding band set) that is worth more than $1,000.
Here’s why:
-My renter’s coverage has a $1,000 deductible, so that is what I would pay to repair or replace the single piece of jewelry if it were lost or stolen.
-However, a jewelry rider (special articles coverage) would protect the same piece of jewelry from damage without a deductible.
-It even protects my jewelry from loss and other perils that my renter’s insurance won’t cover!
