Scheduled Items

When Your Bling Goes "Bye Bye"

Believe it or not, the economy does have a few pleasant surprises. Many valuable items, like fine jewelry (including wedding and engagement rings) have kept pace with the dramatic increases in the cost of gemstones, gold, and other precious metals. This can mean you now have more to protect, and it's very likely worth more than your homeowners policy will cover if it's stolen or turns up AWOL.

Why Schedule?

Listing, or "scheduling," items on your homeowners policy allows you to cover them for what they're worth and includes a few other advantages – such as no deductibles and low premium costs.

• A standard homeowners policy offers only $1,500 of coverage for theft of jewelry, watches, and other expensive items. That's bad news when the average engagement ring costs about $4,600.
• Coverage is included for items lost under "mysterious disappearances" (like when your great-grandfather's watch disappeared after a visit from your dubious third cousin once removed whom you'd met only once at a funeral).
• No deductible or depreciation applies.
• Claims are simplified because a full description and value of the scheduled items will be on file if there is ever a loss.

What to Schedule*

Thieves usually don't confine themselves to stealing just your jewelry – they'll take anything they can carry and sell. So here's a list of items we'll help you schedule:

• Jewelry and watches
• Fine arts and silverware
• Furs
• Cameras and musical equipment
• Collectible firearms
• Oriental rugs hung for display

Flexible Options

• Actual Value Coverage endorsements allow you to schedule individual items for a value based on a third-party appraisal of the property.
• Agreed-Value Coverage endorsements insure property for an amount based on an appraisal of the property that is then mutually agreed upon by you and Electric Insurance; this coverage is very useful for excluding individual items from a Blanket endorsement in order to provide a higher rate of coverage.
• Blanket Coverage endorsements cover classes of personal property – for example, collections – rather than individual pieces, and claims are settled on an ACV basis.
