Before you can report jewelry missing or stolen from your home, you must first file a police report. When you file a police report, you declare under penalty of perjury that what you are saying is true. This helps assure the insurance company that your jewelry really is missing or has been taken from your home. 

Providing Information About When the Jewelry Went Missing

After obtaining a police report, you will need to contact your home insurance company. During this call, you will list everything missing and provide information about when the jewelry went missing. If your home was burglarized, this is easy to provide. However, if you do not know when your jewelry was taken or stolen, this can be harder. Always do your best to provide truthful information.
