Valuable Items Policy

In MD, DC, VA and some surrounding areas.

Typical homeowner’s insurance policies provide broad coverage for your personal possessions, including limited coverage for valuable items, including jewelry, silverware, furs, and firearms. Homeowner’s coverage may not protect you, however, for some types of losses, such as a stone falling out of a diamond ring, an antique statue that is accidentally broken, or a basement personal computer damaged by flood.

Most homeowner’s policies set dollar limits on the amount of protection offered to cover the theft of jewelry or furs (usually $1,000), firearms ($2,000), or silverware ($2,500). Optional add-on coverage to the homeowner’s policy is available to provide expanded protection for special property.

If you own extremely valuable items, the optional add-on coverage may not be enough. For example, if you own a diamond ring valued over $10,000, or a collection of fine art valued over $50,000, you need more protection, and should buy a separate Valuable Items policy.
