Our team consists of 20 specialists, who take an entrepreneurial approach to finding solutions for their clients. Diamonds/precious stone in all forms, jewellery, bullion/precious metals, bank notes and currency are items requiring a complex understanding as well as awareness of insurance.

Instead of standard policy wordings and a one-size-fits-all approach, we offer a wide range of products. No matter how complex the risk, we can find an insurance solution to suit. Whether that’s thanks to our global reach – we have specialists focussing on regions from the UK and Europe through to Asia, Australia and the Americas – or our unique market access and relationships, we’re able to offer competitive prices and a bespoke package that fits our client's needs.

Our brokers handle a worldwide portfolio across all aspects of the Specie and Jewellery Industry. As a result of this we have one of the largest books of clients for Jewellers' Block businesses and market leaders in providing diamond processing insurance.
