High-Value Jewelry & Watches: Are They Properly Protected?

High-Value Jewelry & Watches: Are They Properly Protected?

| April 28, 2026

Spring marks the beginning of:

  • Wedding season

  • International travel

  • Summer event planning

High-value jewelry and watches are frequently worn — and unfortunately, frequently lost or stolen.

What Many Policies Don’t Cover Fully

Standard homeowners' policies typically have sub-limits for jewelry.

Additionally:

  • Mysterious disappearance may be limited

  • International losses may require special endorsements

  • Appraisals may be outdated

Scheduling Valuable Items

A scheduled personal articles policy can provide:

  • Worldwide coverage

  • Agreed value protection

  • Broader loss coverage

  • Lower deductibles

If you’ve received jewelry as a gift, inheritance, or recent purchase, updating your coverage is a smart move before travel season ramps up.
