Jewellers Block Insurance

What is Jewellers block Insurance ?

A standard Jewellers Block insurance policy will grant coverage for a wide range of risks, tailored to your business. Because jewellery has high value, simple property insurance cannot afford coverage and protection for it. 

Therefore, Jewellers Block is a comprehensive risk insurance policy for businesses dealing with precious metals and stones. This policy includes High-value art and antiques. Retailers, manufacturers, and merchandisers of these products are exposed to the risk of theft, burglary, loss and damage to property.

Jewellers Block

Jewellers Block was formerly developed at Lloyd’s of London, late in 1880s by a diamond trader’s clerk named Thomas March. He was concerned at the inability of his employer to obtain Insurance against theft. As he was friendly with one of the leading Lloyd’s Underwriters. They devised the first Jewellers Block policy. Soon after an insurance brokerage bearing March’s name was established. And It flourished to this day as one of the leading Jewellers Block specialist brokers in Great Britain.
