Start with how the business operates
Jewelry-store insurance should make inventory values, display and vault practices, customer goods, shipping, travel, security, employees, repair work, and seasonal concentrations visible to underwriting.
Industry risks to discuss
- Theft, robbery, burglary, mysterious disappearance, and employee dishonesty
- High-value inventory at the premises, in transit, at shows, or with customers
- Customer-property damage, premises liability, cybercrime, and business interruption
Coverage priorities
- Jewelers block or other appropriate specialized property coverage
- General liability, crime, cyber, and business income
- Workers' compensation, commercial auto, and umbrella or excess where appropriate
Prepare for a More Productive Renewal
- Start before markets require the final submission
- Update locations, values, payroll, sales, vehicles, services, and ownership details
- Explain losses and improvements with supporting documentation
- Review limits, deductibles, exclusions, endorsements, and unresolved coverage questions
