Jewelry is, in the local EinbruchsRadar up to August 2026, the most frequently named loot item: 385 cases with a loot list. It is small, the price is known to the offender, and it often lies where the morning starts, on the tray, in the top drawer. In the overview [Security for collectors](/artikel/sicherheit-fuer-sammler) this is the core of the world a certified safe really serves.

## Two ways it leaves

The quiet burglary clears the known places in minutes. The second case is louder: on 5 October 1967 armed attackers tied up Willis du Pont and his wife in their house in Coconut Grove and took the coins, a pattern that occurs with jewelry the same way as soon as someone is in the house. On the night of 3 to 4 October 2016 Kim Kardashian was robbed with armed force in the Hôtel de Pourtalès in Paris. That is robbery, and I do not name a sum for it, because the figures diverge. The house case with nobody in the room is Kensington, December 2019: Tamara Ecclestone was in Lapland, the early report spoke of 50 million pounds, the 2021 conviction listed the gang's series at 26 million pounds, the Kensington strike as the largest and at 25 million pounds.

## Where to put it

What you wear this week stays a small selection. The rest lies in the anchored cabinet, not in a display case facing the street and not in the wardrobe next to the door. Stones in a loose bag without a setting are a risk of their own: they are even smaller. The grade of the cabinet follows the sum the insurer requires for jewelry outside the household-contents lump sum.

## The papers

Appraisals, certificates for the stones and photos on a neutral background lie in the document cabinet. On the item list there is one sentence on how you recognize the piece: engraving, inclusion, an old repair. Without the photo the policy replaces a similar piece, not yours.


## Häufige Fragen

### Why does jewelry rank ahead of watches in the radar?

Because the reports name it more often: 385 cases with a loot list against 217 with a watch, status of the local radar up to August 2026.

### Does a display case with alarm glass help?

It shows the collection. For pieces whose loss you do not make good from the household-contents lump sum, the closed cabinet is the place.

### What about the jewelry you wear every day?

It is visible and gone as soon as someone accosts you on the street. The collection at home is separate from that.
