Q

What is the “Pairs and Sets” clause?

A

If a covered loss occurs to an item that is part of a set, the value of the remaining item(s) is reduced based on the difference between the value of the total set and the value of each item individually. This is because each item is worth more as a “set” than on its own.

***For example, if a pair of diamond earrings is valued at $2,000, and a loss occurs to one earring, the value of the pair drops by more than 50%. If one earring by itself is valued at $800, the total loss is $1,200.
