The ring the homeowners policy caps at one thousand.

Jewellery, art, instruments, cameras and collections.

Cennairus is a licensed wholesale insurance broker: retail agents send us the accounts their own markets cannot place, stay the agent of record, and we take each account to the markets on our panel of 145 carriers that write it. A personal articles floater schedules the valuables a homeowners or renters policy caps: jewellery, art, instruments, cameras and collections. It adds broader perils, usually including mysterious disappearance, so a lost piece is covered as well as a stolen one. Cennairus places it for anything from a new engagement ring to a growing collection: we shop it.

Why send it here

What you get

Past the homeowners sub-limit

A standard homeowners form caps jewellery, furs and similarly valuable categories at a token amount.

Usually first-dollar, no deductible

Scheduled articles typically pay from the first dollar of a covered loss, including mysterious disappearance — the category homeowners forms handle worst.

Appraisals read, not retyped

An appraisal, a jeweler’s memo or a receipt is usually enough to start a schedule — our readers pull the description and value instead of someone typing each.

Worldwide, not just at home

Scheduled items are typically covered wherever the client takes them, not only inside the residence the base policy insures.

In plain terms

What is a personal articles floater for?

  • Homeowners and renters forms use what carriers call special limits of liability — modest, category-wide caps on jewellery, furs, silverware, firearms, cameras and.
  • Two things distinguish a floater from the base policy’s handling of the same category: broader perils, including mysterious disappearance, which a standard.
  • The trigger is usually a specific item, not a general worry: an engagement ring just purchased or inherited, a collection that has grown past what anyone thought to.

Who buys it: anyone who just bought or received an engagement ring; collectors of fine art, coins, stamps or wine; musicians scheduling instruments used professionally; photographers and videographers with owned equipment; households with inherited jewellery or heirlooms; renters and homeowners alike with one high-value item.

An appraisal already sitting in a drawer is usually enough to start the schedule — no one has to retype a jeweler’s memo line by line.

Questions we get

PAF, answered

What actually needs to be scheduled?

Homeowners and renters forms already include a modest baseline for these categories.

Is a simply lost piece covered, or only a stolen one?

Generally yes — mysterious disappearance is a standard peril on most floaters, which is broader than the base policy’s named-peril approach to valuables.

Does the appraisal need to be refreshed every year?

Practice varies by carrier and category.

How is an item’s value proven?

An appraisal, a recent receipt, or clear photographs with a description.
