First things first. There should be no difference between a "jewelry appraisal for insurance" and any other type of jewelry appraisal.

All too often, jewelers hear, "I don't want to pay a lot for an appraisal. I only need it to get my jewelry insured."

Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company, SI (a stock insurer) has been named one of Ward’s 50^® top-performing property-casualty insurance companies for the 12th year in a row. The award acknowledges outstanding financial results in the areas of safety, consistency, and performance over a five-year period from 2017-2021. Top performers on the list are measured by financial stability and ability to grow while maintaining strong capital positions and underwriting results.

My, how time flies. Maybe it feels like you just got married and now you're getting ready to celebrate your first wedding anniversary.

At the height of summer, thoughts turn to red, and we're not talking sunburns. July's birthstone is the ruby! Happy July birthday to all of you. What a gem you have!

Happy birthday, fellow June babies! You get to brag about having not just one, or two, but THREE June birthstones to choose from. June's birthstones are the Pearl, Alexandrite and Moonstone, depending on the resource ... or heck, your moods. It’s your prerogative!
