Jewelry, Silverware, and Fur Insurance
NJM Homeowners, Renters, and Condo policies include coverage for personal property such as furniture, clothing, housewares, etc. But what if someone steals your treasured diamond earrings, or you lose your engagement ring? For these items you may want consider adding the Scheduled Personal Property Endorsement to your policy.
What Exactly Is Scheduled Personal Property?
Sometimes referred to as a rider or jewelry insurance, Scheduled Personal Property is an optional endorsement that provides greater protection for certain high-value items. Items covered by this endorsement will be valued at replacement cost in the event of a loss, with no deductible. Without it, your loss is subject to the standard limits of your property policy and a deductible applies.
A Scheduled Personal Property Endorsement also enhances coverage for accidental loss.
