What Insurers Need To Understand About Your Jewellery Shop
Suitable cover starts with the business actually being operated. This page is intended for retail jewellers, watch shops, goldsmiths and jewellery businesses offering repairs, valuation or online sales. Tell the broker about every material activity, sales channel and location rather than relying on a broad retail description.
Customers And Products
Repairs, alterations, valuations, piercing or bespoke design can create exposures beyond ordinary retail. The insurer needs a clear split between sales and services.
Security And Controls
Safe specifications, alarms, CCTV, shutters, glazing, key control, opening and closing procedures and transit arrangements are central underwriting information.
Business Interruption
Recovery planning should allow for security reinstatement, specialist equipment, replacement stock and the rebuilding of supplier and customer confidence after an insured event.

Limits And Exclusions Matter
Check the basis of stock valuation, single-item and theft limits, excesses, security conditions, business-interruption period and any restrictions on products or work away. Wear and tear, deliberate acts, known defects and undeclared activities are not normally insured. Cover depends on the selected policy wording and insurer terms.
