Jewelry claims are complex and need special attention by jewelry and diamond experts. Insureds are faced with a jewelry and diamond pricing system that changes daily. The terminology used to define quality of gems and diamonds can be confusing for both insurers and the policyholder.
Consider this:
-
There are more than 70,000 jewelry businesses in the US, all with different levels of experience, training, and service.
-
U.S. customers spent more than $50 billion on jewelry and watch purchases in 2016.
-
According to insurance industry data, $1.5 billion in jewelry is lost or stolen annually.
Jewelry insurers and policyholders can benefit greatly from the use of expert, knowledgeable replacement services: the insured receives a replica of that cherished piece, and insurance carriers often save a great deal by replacing, identifying or deterring fraudulent claims, and benefit from the cycle of collecting premiums from the policyholder who usually reinsures the replacement piece with the same carrier.
