SaferGems

SaferGems is a major initiative against crime in the Jewellery, Antiques, Pawn Brokers, and Fine Art Trades, hosted by the BSIA and funded by the retail jewellery industry through TH March Insurance Brokers and the National Association of Jewellers.

Approved by the Home Office and endorsed by the National Police Chiefs Council, SaferGems introduced in June 2009 following concern about the increase in crime committed against the jewellery industry. It is intended to collate attacks, incidents and intelligence in relation to jewellery crime around the UK. 

The SaferGems team, which has links to all the UK police forces, records details of  crimes against the jewellery/pawnbroking industry, sends alerts to its members, NAJ members and those insured via TH March, coordinates data across police forces to improve identification and conviction of criminals, circulates images and new crime trends and assists the police in linking offences and offenders.
