Frequently asked questions

Other inclusions in jeweller insurance cover are:

  • Damage to goods being worked upon (repairs only)

  • Home risk (extends to cover goods kept overnight or at weekends in the homes of the Insured)

  • Unattended motor vehicle extension (stock coverage for valuables whilst in or upon any unattended vehicle)

  • Personal belongings of employees 

  • Employee fidelity.

While jeweller insurance is comprehensive, it generally can’t cover:

  1. Specific couriers. You may need to use a certain company for delivery, depending on the value of your shipment. Ask your Marsh advisor if we can cover them first. 

  1. Mysterious disappearance. If you notice that stock is missing, but you don't know why, we can't cover the loss.

Valuers should consider valuers insurance. This policy includes the jeweller insurance cover options, but also provides additional professional indemnity cover to help protect valuers against claims resulting from advice they provide.

Public liability insurance and professional indemnity insurance are considered the two most important types of business insurance. 

Public liability insurance can protect your business against a third-party negligence claim following an injury or property damage.

Professional indemnity insurance can protect you if a third party claims that an error in the advice or service you provided caused them injury, damage, or financial loss.

Interested parties include other companies or people who have a vested interest in your business’s risks being appropriately managed. 

These include: 

  • Financiers 

  • Commercial landlords 

  • Principal contractors.

They may request a copy of the certificate of currency with their name noted as an interested party. You can contact Marsh to add them at any time.

As your insurance broker, Marsh will act as your advocate in the event of a claim.

Our team will negotiate with insurers, coordinate and manage all aspects of the claims process, and strive to get you the best possible outcome.

Marsh works with the only Australian-based insurer that specialises in jewellery claims. And our claims team is onshore too.

When your business renews or obtains a new insurance policy, you’re required to update your activities. This allows the insurer to apply the correct premium based on the risk. 

If you do not accurately disclose this information, your insurer may decline cover in the event of a claim.
