Valentine’s Day Jewelry: Don’t Forget to Protect What You Give ❤️

Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular times of year to give fine jewelry—engagement rings, diamond earrings, gold necklaces, and heirloom pieces.
But here’s what many people don’t realize until it’s too late:

Most jewelry is not fully covered under a standard homeowners insurance policy.

If you’re giving (or receiving) jewelry this Valentine’s Day, there’s one smart step you should take next.

Why Your Home Insurance May Not Be Enough

A typical homeowners policy has low limits on jewelry coverage, often around $1,500–$2,500 total, and that’s after your deductible.

That means:

  • A lost engagement ring may only be partially covered

  • Theft outside the home may not be covered at all

  • Mysterious disappearance is often excluded

For a meaningful (and valuable) gift, that’s a big risk.

The Smart Solution: Schedule the Jewelry

The best way to protect fine jewelry is by adding a Scheduled Articles Policy or scheduling the item onto your homeowners insurance.

What scheduling does:

  • Covers the full appraised value

  • Often includes loss, theft, and accidental damage

  • Typically has no deductible

  • Protects the item anywhere in the world

It’s affordable peace of mind for something irreplaceable.

What You’ll Need to Get Started

Scheduling jewelry is simple. You’ll usually need:

  • A recent appraisal (or purchase receipt)

  • A quick call or email to your insurance agency

  • A few minutes to review coverage options

That’s it.

Giving Jewelry? Add This to Your Valentine’s Plan

Flowers fade. Chocolates disappear.
