All Risk Protection for the Jewellery Trade

Jewellers block insurance is a specialist all risk policy designed specifically for businesses in the jewellery trade. It provides broader and more flexible protection than a standard property or marine cargo policy, covering your stock of jewellery, precious stones, watches, and precious metals wherever they are: in your premises, in transit, at exhibitions, in a safe deposit, or in the hands of a third party.

What It Covers

  • Stock on your premises (showroom, workshop, vault)
  • Stock in transit (by hand, courier, or armoured vehicle)
  • Stock at exhibitions, trade shows, and fairs
  • Stock held by third parties (consignment, repair, valuation)
  • Stock in safe deposit boxes and bank vaults
  • Theft, burglary, and robbery
  • Accidental damage and mysterious disappearance
  • Fire, flood, and natural perils

Who It’s For:

Jewellery retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, gemstone dealers, watch dealers, gold and precious metals traders, and anyone in the jewellery supply chain who holds, transports, or displays high value stock.

 

 

The UAE is one of the world’s leading hubs for the gold and jewellery trade. Whether you operate from the Gold Souk, a modern retail showroom, or an online platform, jewellers block insurance gives you the comprehensive protection your business needs.

Protection Against Fraud, Theft, and Dishonesty

Commercial crime insurance protects your business against financial losses caused by criminal acts, whether committed by your own employees or by external third parties. In an increasingly complex business environment, the risk of fraud, embezzlement, forgery, and cybercrime is growing, and the financial impact can be severe.

What It Covers:

  • Employee dishonesty, theft, and embezzlement
  • Forgery and alteration of cheques or documents
  • Theft of money and securities from your premises or in transit
  • Computer fraud and electronic theft
  • Funds transfer fraud
  • Social engineering fraud (impersonation scams)
  • Counterfeiting of currency
  • Extortion

Who It’s For:

Any business that handles significant amounts of money, manages financial transactions, or employs staff with access to company funds and assets. This includes trading companies, retail businesses, professional services firms, financial institutions, and businesses with large accounts payable or receivable functions.

Comprehensive Fidelity and Crime Cover for Financial Institutions

A banker’s blanket bond (BBB) is a specialist fidelity and crime insurance policy designed specifically for banks, financial institutions, exchange houses, and finance companies. It provides broad protection against losses arising from the dishonest or fraudulent acts of employees, as well as external criminal acts targeting the institution.

What It Covers:

  • Employee dishonesty, fraud, and infidelity
  • Loss of money and securities on premises and in transit
  • Forgery and alteration
  • Counterfeit currency
  • Computer crime and electronic fraud
  • Damage to office premises and contents caused by theft or attempted theft
  • Legal liability arising from covered losses

Who It’s For:

Banks, investment firms, exchange houses, money service businesses, microfinance institutions, insurance companies, and other regulated financial institutions. Many regulators in the UAE and the wider region require financial institutions to hold a banker’s blanket bond as a condition of their licence.

Seamless Cover for Goods in Transit and in Storage

Stock throughput insurance is a single policy that covers your goods throughout their entire journey and storage cycle: from the point of origin, through transit by sea, air, or road, into your warehouse, and until final delivery or sale. It eliminates the gaps that can occur when separate marine cargo and property stock policies are used.

What It Covers:

  • Goods in transit by sea, air, and road
  • Goods in storage at any location (your own warehouse, third party warehouse, or distribution centre)
  • Goods at intermediate stages of the supply chain
  • Loading, unloading, and handling
  • Fire, theft, water damage, and natural perils
  • All risk cover available

Why Stock Throughput Instead of Separate Policies?

With separate marine cargo and property insurance, there can be coverage gaps when goods transition from transit to storage or vice versa. Disputes can arise over which policy responds. Stock throughput eliminates this by providing one continuous policy from origin to final destination, regardless of whether the goods are moving or stationary.

Who It’s For:

Importers, exporters, distributors, manufacturers, retailers, and any business that holds significant stock at multiple stages of the supply chain. Particularly valuable for businesses with high inventory values, frequent stock movements, or goods stored across multiple locations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jewellers block is a specialist all risk policy for the jewellery trade.

Commercial crime insurance is designed for any business and covers losses from employee dishonesty, fraud, forgery, computer crime, and social engineering.

It eliminates gaps between separate cargo and property policies, providing seamless protection wherever your goods are.

Yes. Standard property insurance covers physical damage to your premises and contents but does not cover financial losses caused by employee dishonesty, fraud, or cybercrime.
