Introduction to Jewellers' Block, Fine Art and Specie - Training Workshop

Two half-days

12 & 13 November 2025, 09:30-12:30 (UK)

Jewellers’ block is a form of commercial insurance cover designed to address those risks faced by firms who either manufacture, transport or sell items of jewellery including precious gemstones.

The definition of fine art as to what can be insured under a policy named as such can be extremely wide-ranging.

Specie insurance relates to the cover for items that would traditionally have been limited to bank notes and coins, but this cover now applies to items of high value in relation to this size (for example, watches or a quantity of gold bullion).
