In the Jewelry Industry, any loss is usually a significant loss. Losses can occur from robbery, theft, fire, snatch and grab, employee dishonesty, or even mysterious disappearance. We offer coverage for precious and semi-precious stones as well as your precious metals and raw materials.
To obtain coverage for a certain amount of items left out of your safe at night while closed for business, Out-of-Safe coverage can be included on your quote. Loaning items out on Memo? We offer coverage for goods owned by you and loaned to others, as well as goods of others loaned to you.
Do you frequently travel with jewelry? You may need wearing coverage as well as Trade Show coverage for scheduled special events. Do you repair items? If damage occurs, this could result in a loss.
Policy Discounts are also very important when reviewing your policy proposal. Insurance companies give credits to business owners who take extra care in protecting their business. Consider upgrading your safe or alarm system.
Other increased security options to consider could include adding surveillance cameras with audio and recording. Some jewelry retail locations further protect their inventory by adding bars to windows or hiring an armed guard.
In an effort to avoid or prevent a loss, advanced security measures should be in place at all times. Unfortunately, even with the best of security measures, sometimes a loss cannot be prevented. If that happens, rest assured that First Class Insurance will walk you through the claims filing process.
With the correct jewelers block policy in place, you can recover from a loss with minimal down time to your business operations.

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.
Specialized business insurance for jewelry stores
If you own a jewelry store, you face a particular challenge in insurance that most retail stores don’t contend with. You can seek out basic coverage through business owners insurance, but many policies exclude gems or precious metals. This is where jewelers’ block insurance comes in handy.
Jewelry retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers face an increased risk of loss or damage because their primary merchandise is highly valuable and easily portable.
The cost of your jewelers block insurance coverage will depend on several factors, including your location and claim history. Because of the high risk of your industry, insurance companies also consider:
Some companies may require certain risk management guidelines be met before they agree to insure you. Others may offer discounts for more strict security measures. Our insurance agents are able to shop policies to find the best insurance plan for your business.
