In its latest “My Next Question” webinar, National Jeweler was joined by two retailers who recently went through hurricanes and an insurance expert.

The webinar also addressed the recent announcement that Jewelers of America and Diamond Council of America have reopened their Jewelers Relief Fund, created to assist those affected by disaster, in the wake of Hurricane Ian.
The deadline for donating or applying for relief has been extended to Nov. 11. Read the National Jeweler story online for more information.
