About Curley Insurance
A single-minded focus on precious value
For over two decades we have insured only one thing: precious assets. That focus is our promise to every client, in every market.
Our story
Born in the heart of Hatton Garden
Curley Insurance was founded in 2002 in Hatton Garden, London’s historic jewelry quarter and home to the Lloyd’s specialty market. Surrounded by jewelers, dealers and underwriters, our founders saw an industry under-served by generalist insurers who did not understand its risks.
We set out to change that with a simple idea: insure precious assets, and nothing else. That focus attracted underwriters and claims specialists who speak the language of the trade, and clients who value being truly understood.
Today, Curley Insurance protects over fourteen billion dollars of gold, jewelry, diamonds and watches, from eleven offices across six continents, backed by leading reinsurers and the Lloyd’s specialty market.
Total insured value across gold, jewelry and stones.
Specialist underwriting since 2002.
Local teams across six continents.
Independently surveyed client rating.
