Physical and electronic security features can represent a major investment for jewelry store security.

Many of these features, such as safes and alarms, are absolutely essential to have if you're doing business in the jewelry industry, though. So, why wouldn't you maximize the return on your investment and get what will offer you the highest level of security?

The rise in frequency and severity of violent crimes affecting the jewelry industry has resulted in the need for better physical and electronic security.

Especially with the increased targeting of luxury watches and diamond jewelry, the inadequacy of plate glass showcases, TL-30 safes, and alarms without line security aren’t going to protect high-value inventory in the event of an attack.

For months now, the jewelry industry has witnessed surges in criminal activity that is so incredibly brazen that it garners the attention of the national media.

As technology impacts everyone's lives to make things easier and more efficient, some applications of exciting new tech lag behind the market.

That's often the case for small to mid-sized businesses, especially when it comes to security.

As new technology is developed and deployed where demand is greatest, older (but still useful) technology can begin trickling down. As this trickle down takes place, it can have a huge impact on jewelry store security.

Thieves were making news from coast to coast by attempting distraction, switch, and grab-and-run thefts in February. Items stolen range from loose diamonds, to gold chains, to luxury watches.
