   Yes, of course, but there are some things an insurer may require. You stated through inheritance. That is good because an insurer would be curious how someone with a 500,000 house can afford to purchase 500,000 in jewelry

   Many states, do not require companies to file rates on what the industry refers to as “Inland Marine ” coverage.So, there is often a willingness to insure a schedule of jewelry at a specific price point the insurer deems adequate.Lastly, many insurers have multiple rates for jewelry if yours will to put the  carrier on notice of an item being put in a bank vault and then taken out, then an insurer will use what are referred to as “Bank Vault rates ” while the property is in the Bank’s Vault and charge another rate if the item is out
