Jewelers Lower Cost Cover

May 3, 2004

Nuts & Bolts: Neenah, Wis.-based Jewelers Mutual Insurance Co. launched a lower-cost insurance policy and an assortment of coverage options specifically tailored for manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers and specialty jewelry businesses. An alternative to the Jewelers Block, the new Jewelers standard policy covers: inventory of jewelry stock for sale, customers’ property on a primary basis (from those not in the jewelry industry), and property of others in the jewelry business. The policy is aimed at smaller jewelers in safer areas. The four new coverage options include one each for manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, and specialty businesses such as appraisers, custom designers, and repairers. The new options expand the businessowners policy and the company’s package policies.
Dollars: Premiums vary based on several factors such as limit of insurance and location. This policy is for jewelry businesses that have property limits up to $250,000.
Carrier: Jewelers Mutual rated “A+” by A.M. Best, admitted.
States Available: All.
