Business Interruption Insurance for Jewelry Stores in California

Complete Jewelry Business Protection

Protecting Your Employees and Your Jewelry Business

Running a jewelry store or workshop in California comes with unique workplace risks. From handling tools and machinery to working with precious metals and customer transactions, accidents can happen even in a well-managed environment. Workers’ Compensation Insurance is essential for protecting your employees, your business, and your financial stability.

In California, all businesses with employees are legally required to carry Workers’ Compensation coverage. For jewelers, this coverage ensures that your staff receives proper medical care and financial support in the event of a work-related injury or illness.

What Is Business Interruption Insurance?

Business Interruption Insurance compensates your business for lost income and operating expenses when your store is forced to close or limit operations due to a covered event.

This coverage helps you stay financially secure when unexpected disruptions occur, including:

  • Property damage from burglary or vandalism

  • Fire, smoke, or water damage

  • Earthquakes (with add-on coverage)

  • Mandatory closures or restricted access

  • Equipment or utility failures that halt operations

This insurance is a key component of a comprehensive protection plan for any jewelry business in California.

Why a BOP Is Important for Jewelry Businesses
