Everything But The House — an online marketplace that specializes in authenticated pre-owned goods — has announced a forthcoming collaboration with Jewelers Mutual Group to offer jewelry care plan options for buyers participating in its digital auctions. This service, which is expected to launch in the summer of 2026, allows customers who win bids on estate jewelry, vintage timepieces, or contemporary pieces to add a protection plan that covers repair costs from accidental damage and regular wear according to the specific terms of the policy.
By integrating an opt-in jewelry care plan from a company that has focused exclusively on jewelry insurance since 1913, Everything But The House effectively lowers the perceived risk of participating in the resale market. Both collaborators worked to integrate this protection service seamlessly within the bidding process.
