New Brides Often Overlook The Importance of Jewelry Security

“I’m so passionate about the topic of jewelry security,” says Cindy Ritzi President of the National Jewelry Security Association. “Millions of dollars in Jewelry are lost each year because consumers don’t take the time to have their jewelry appraised, inspected and insured. So many newly married couples and young people don’t understand that jewelry can be protected and insured at a relatively low cost. All we’re trying to do is spread the word.”
By following the four steps listed below, individuals can begin to ensure that their cherished jewelry possessions are safe and secure for years to come.
• Schedule routine inspections with a qualified local jeweler
• Inventory your jewelry keeping a written and photographic record
• Keep appraisals updated as they change depending on market conditions
• Insure your jewelry, most often through a home owners or rental insurance policy.

The National Jewelry Security Association (NJSA) was founded in 2009 to provide valuable and actionable information to jewelry consumers. An association of independent jewelers, the NJSA provides information and materials directly to the consumer and through partnerships with businesses that provide services related to the security and assessment of jewelry and personal assets. These partner businesses include: retail jewelers, insurance companies, financial planners, estate attorneys, home security and security products vendors.
