One of our independent agents recently asked thoughtful questions about insurance options available for personal jewelry. Given the many options and types of blankets available, I thought it was a blog about "precious"!
There are two main reasons why you would ensure an element of personal jewelry with indoor maritime policy (if you're curious why the coverage jewelry is called inner navy, click here):
- based owners policy limits the amount that would be paid for jewelry in the case of a flight.
- franchise would generally apply to a loss that is covered by the policy of a database owner. But when the jewelry are individually covered on an inner marine form there are usually no deductible in question (unless this option is explicitly requested).
When a jewelry item is covered with an inner maritime policy, most insurance companies offer two different options of settlement loss:
- option agreed settlement impairment
- a traditional option "repair / replacement cost" Regulation
for an additional premium, the agreed option value will simply pay the amount for which an item is listed on the policy. For this settlement option of loss that you may need to provide a recent assessment or a deed to justify the value at which the item is insured.
The traditional option of repair / replacement costs is the default option on a scheduled personal property endorsement to your homeowners policy. It gives your insurance company can replace an item to an amount less than the value indicated on the policy. This would be the case if such lesser duty would return the item to its original condition or replace the item with a kind or similar quality.
Although the repair option / replacement puts a client in the same position as before a loss, I often hear that the agreed value option provides a more satisfying claims to the policyholder because the regulation seeks to meet the needs of the most meticulous clients. For this reason, I generally recommend choosing the agreed value of loss settlement option if available.
Some companies also offer indoor coverage of marine form that allows an insured to have additional jewelry coverage limits without having to list each individual item. This form is best for a situation where a customer has many items of smaller value, as this form is a limit per item.
A final option offered for jewelry coverage pays a lower premium for items kept in a safe. To be precise, the decline in the rate charged for this option is provided for items stored in a bank vault, away from home. The discount rate is given with the idea that jewelry offsite would not be harmed by an event at your home as fire or theft.
With all the options available to protect your jewelry, the best thing you can do is talk to your independent agent to see what coverage will be more "valuable" for you!
