Is Your Insurance Agent an Expert?
These agents are measured by how well they keep jewelers like you safe, secure, and successful--and they exceed expectations.
Brought To You By Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company
There is no substitute for experience and when it comes to selecting the right insurance policy for your business, experience matters a great deal.
Jewelers block insurance is one of the most complex coverages out there, so it’s especially difficult to find an agent who is truly an expert in the industry. However, without dedication and commitment to your specific needs, experience loses some of its value.
Reaching the pinnacle of unrivaled knowledge and unwavering support is rare, but Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company has been seeking out agents who meet this profile since 1913. Every agent representing Jewelers Mutual today fulfills these values and each year those who stand out are recognized for their achievements.
Their success is partly measured by how well they keep jewelers like you safe, secure, and successful. Based on results from 2016, the following agencies have been recognized for exceptional and high performance with the honors of Jewelers Mutual’s President’s Club and Centerstone Circle awards, respectively:
