Under TX Special Provisions HO 01 42, jewelry losses are settled at what basis?

• A. Actual cash value
• B. Replacement cost
• C. Market value
• D. Negotiated value

Answer: (B)

This provision settles jewelry losses on a replacement-cost basis. That means the insurer reimburses the amount needed to replace the jewelry with a like kind and quality at current prices, rather than deducting depreciation for age or wear (which would be actual cash value). This usually provides a higher payout than ACV, up to the policy’s stated limits for jewelry, and aligns with restoring you to your pre-loss position. Market value or negotiated value aren’t used here because those methods don’t reflect the cost to replace the item with a comparable one today.
