Protect Your Valuables with a Personal Articles Policy
Did you know that your most treasured possessions may not be fully protected by your homeowners or renters insurance? While your policy may offer great coverage, it may require deductibles and have coverage limitations. Make sure your personal property is adequately covered against theft, accidental damage, or loss, by adding a State Farm™ Personal Articles Policy.

Worldwide Coverage
Coverage applies anywhere in the world. When you go on vacation, items such as jewelry and cameras are covered (fine art items are only covered within the United States and Canada).
Replacement Cost Coverage
We'll pay the cost to repair or replace your property, without deduction for depreciation. The personal articles policy insures against theft and accidental direct physical damage to covered property with only a few limitations and exclusions.
Deductible
Generally there is no deductible for a personal articles policy, although deductibles are available if desired.
Optional Coverages
Broad Pair and Set Coverage
You will be covered for the full amount needed to replace an item of jewelry that may be part of a pair or set. For example, a pair of earrings would qualify for this coverage.
Inflation Coverage
The amount of coverage is automatically adjusted annually based on the Consumer Product inflation index. Valuable items should be professionally reappraised regularly.
Wedding Present Coverage
Coverage for wedding presents may be added by endorsement. This endorsement provides temporary coverage (before and up to 90 days after your wedding) to protect your gifts. Refer to the policy for a complete description of Losses Not Insured.
