When you’re opening a new store or considering a move, one of the most important considerations may be the potential for a vault. Vaults make store set up and take down more efficient and can also decrease the wear and tear on your merchandise.
Because of their weight and the installation required, having a vault requires planning ahead of time. If you are looking to install a vault, involve your agent and insurance company as soon as possible!
Do you dread dropping off a shipment of jewelry because you fear that your package of valuables could be lost, damaged, or stolen?
Maybe that fear stems from the confusion about the options available when shipping a package. After all, there are numerous carriers to choose from and even one of the most widely accessible — The United States Postal Service® (USPS) — has many services with different options.
Jewelry trade shows and wedding season aren't the only signs of summer.
Severe storms and natural disasters become widespread once temperatures start rising. Every area in North America can be impacted by severe weather to one degree or another and the damages can be catastrophic.
In 2019, the Jewelers Security Alliance received reports of 34 rooftop burglaries from 15 states, compared to 9 rooftop burglaries from seven states in 2018. In some cases, alarm systems, often without line security, were compromised. In others, when police responded to alarm signals, they were unable to detect any obvious signs of a break-in upon exterior inspection. Because they were unable to conduct an immediate internal search, it’s likely the burglars had either left the scene, were still inside the building, or on the roof.
