Why do jewellery makers need insurance?
Jewellery customers expect high quality and safety in the products they purchase. Accidents or unforeseen circumstances can happen, making proper insurance essential to protect your business financially.
Typically you will need an annual crafting policy, but for those involved in short-term or one-off events, such as a craft fair, you may find short term cover more suitable, if this sounds like you, ensure you have the appropriate Stallholder Insurance in place.
For annual policies, here are a few scenarios to help explain why you need jewellery makers insurance:
Protection from claims due to public injury.
If a customer visits your jewellery stall at a third party organised craft fair, to potentially purchase some of your work and in the process trips over your stall or some of your stock and injures themselves, you could be liable to a substantial claim.
Public liability insurance for crafters can provide protection from these incidents.
An item you’ve made breaks and injures a customer.
Imagine an item you’ve crafted breaks and causes injury to a customer. In such cases, the customer may bring a claim against you.
Product liability insurance tailored for crafts can cover incidents related to your products, safeguarding you from potential legal consequences.
Protection if your jewellery tools are damaged.
Depending on your craft, you may have invested in expensive tools and equipment, which could potentially become damaged or lost. For instance, your stock could become damaged in storage.
Having equipment cover can avoid costly repairs and replacements.
An event or venue asks for public liability to sell your crafts.
An organise event or venue that you sell your crafts at, may expect proof of public liability for events as a minimum before you are able to commit to a stall.
Our experts explain why...
“Whether you sell jewellery from home, at local markets, or through online channels, having the right insurance is essential. Jewellery makers insurance covers potential injury or damage claims arising from your products or business activities. Without appropriate cover, you risk severe financial impact from claims or accidents. Our insurance for jewellery makers lets you focus on creating jewellery and growing your business, free from worry about unexpected legal claims. Proper cover is essential to protect your jewellery-making business.”
