No gaps in coverage with jewelers block insurance

No gaps in coverage with jewelers' block insurance

Whether you specialize in antique jewelry or custom-made pieces, gold bracelets or diamond rings, property damage or loss could be extremely detrimental to your business.

For example, your truck of merchandise is burglarized before a trade show event. Or, consider if an employee was undervaluing gold for a cash payoff or embezzling cash and merchandise from your business. Traditional commercial policies for vehicles or crime may exclude jewelry or have coverage limits that do not come close to meeting the value of your merchandise.

Jewelers' block insurance was specifically created to close the gaps in coverage jewelry business owners may face with traditional commercial insurance policies.
What is jewelers block insurance

What is jewelers' block insurance?

Jeweler's block insurance is a specialty type of inland marine insurance. This is insurance coverage for highly valuable, portable items necessary to your business. The benefit of inland marine and jewelers' block insurance is that it usually offers all risks coverage rather than named peril.

Named peril coverage would mean your insurance policy only covered events stated in the policy, like fire, theft, vandalism, etc. All risks coverage means all losses are covered unless written as an exception. This broader coverage is preferred for the jewelry industry.

Jewelers’ block insurance offers much higher limits than inland marine policies and offers better coverage to your jewelry business.
