Jewelers Mutual Steps Up Aid for LA Jewelry Businesses
The company also is matching donations made to Jewelers of America and the Diamond Council of America’s Jewelers Relief Fund.

Through its “Relieve” benefit, the company is providing counseling support for commercially insured customers, staff, and their immediate families.
The service is also being extended to personal lines customers in Los Angeles County who have been affected by the wildfires, Jewelers Mutual said.
For commercial customers and non-customers in the jewelry business in L.A. County, the company will transport safes and store merchandise to protect against theft and environmental damage, as well as coordinate to provide board-up services to keep premises safe while minimizing exposure to further damage.
Jewelers Mutual is also offering on-site security guard services to its commercial lines customers, along with 24/7 claims and underwriting services.
In addition to extending its services, the insurance company said it will match donations (up to $50,000) made to the Jewelers Relief Fund.
Created in 2017 in the wake of Hurricane Harvey and Houston and recently relaunched by Jewelers of America and the Diamond Council of America, the fund aids retail jewelry stores and jewelry manufacturers whose businesses were damaged in the fires.
“Our hearts are with everyone affected by the fires who are enduring the unimaginable,” said Scott Murphy, president and CEO of Jewelers Mutual.
“There are profound challenges ahead. We stand with our customers and the jewelry industry, offering support and unwavering commitment to help bring stability, security, and hope as we navigate healing and recovery together.”
