Neenah, Wisc.—Jewelers Mutual Group has expanded its global footprint following its acquisition of Australian insurance provider Jewellers Loop.

It provides two specialized jewelry insurance products, Q Report and JewelCover. They are underwritten by Chubb Insurance Australia Unlimited.
The two organizations will maintain their independent operations, Jewelers Mutual said, while “taking advantage of the synergies that can be realized immediately.”
Jewellers Loop will retain ownership of the customer relationships and customer data as well as continue to manage all customer interactions.
The price of the acquisition was not disclosed.
"This strategic acquisition strengthens our collective ability to deliver unparalleled service and innovation to the jewelry industry on a global scale, ensuring both our companies thrive, grow, and continue learning from each other’s successes," said Scott Murphy, president and CEO of Jewelers Mutual.
“Bringing our capabilities together supports our united mission to elevate the love of jewelry and protect the pieces that mean the world to our customers.”
