Personal Articles Floater Policy

Protect your valuables with confidence

Your most valuable possessions deserve more than standard coverage. A Personal Articles Floater policy provides specialized protection for items like jewelry, fine art, collectibles, and other high-value belongings—covering them against risks such as loss, theft, or accidental damage.

Unlike typical homeowners or renters insurance, which may have coverage limits and exclusions, a personal articles floater offers broader, more flexible protection tailored to the unique value of your items. Whether it’s a lost ring, a damaged piece of art, or a stolen collectible, this coverage is designed to respond quickly and often without a deductible.

Even better, your protection follows your items wherever they go—at home, while traveling, or in transit. With customizable limits and the ability to schedule specific valuables, you can have confidence that the things you cherish most are fully protected with the right level of care and precision.

Frequently asked questions

In general, jewelry insurance may cost between 1% and 2% of the value of your jewelry or other valuable items.

Most policies don’t require them. For example, a blanket policy does not require appraisals up front. For a scheduled policy, you may need appraisals depending on the value of your items. But most policies don’t require them. We recommend getting appraisals on all your jewelry, whether or not it’s required by the policy.

A Personal Articles Floater (PAF) policy doesn’t just cover jewelry — it can extend protection to many types of valuable personal property. This includes fine art, musical instruments, cameras, collectibles like stamps and coins, firearms, furs, high‑end electronics, and specialized sporting equipment. Each item is individually scheduled, allowing for tailored coverage and ensuring strong protection against theft, accidental damage, or loss — even when you’re traveling worldwide.
