Can I Insure Consigned Items Myself?

by Kate.

A new consignment shop is opening up and I’ve been offered pretty generous rental terms.

Just got the contract today, which clearly specifies that the shop assumes no liability in the event of a break-in, damage, and so forth, and goes on to state, in writing, that the shop contents (any jewelry I place there) will NOT be insured.

I am attempting to chalk some of the shopkeeper’s choice up to inexperience, but obviously this is a point of concern on my end.

Is there a way to get insurance on my own items and retain protection, regardless of the shop owner’s decisions?
