According to the National Retail Federation, American's spent $15.7 billion dollars on Valentine's Day gifts in 2010.   Certainly jewelry is one of the most popular gifts.  Make sure your gift is covered by insurance!  Why?

• The FBI says victims of burglary lose more than $4 Billion in stolen property per year.
• The typical Homeowner's policy has specific limitations on jewelry.   This number could be $1000, $2000, on certain occasions higher.  If you're jewelry exceeds those limits, you may find yourself in an uninsured situation if you are the victim of theft or an accidental loss.

You can prevent this situation by having your jewelry listed on your homeowner's, renter's, or condo unit owner's policy.   Normally this is not expensive and the additional premium is based on a percentage of what that additional jewelry is appraised for, and yes, you do need to have an up to date appraisal.

How much might this cost? It's easy to find out!
