About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Rockland County licenses dealers in second-hand gems and precious stones — a category covering used jewelry, diamonds, and other resale gemstones. The county can condition that license on a $2,000 surety bond standing behind the dealer’s honest dealing and recordkeeping under the county’s rules.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal / dealer), the surety carrier, and Rockland County together with the public (the protected parties). If a dealer buys stolen stones, fails to keep required purchase records, or otherwise violates the county’s licensing rules and someone is harmed, a claim can be made against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who keep proper records and deal honestly treat the bond as a license formality. The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the county license.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Rockland County gem dealer bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. The bond amount is fixed at $2,000, and 3% of that ($60) is below our minimum, so the price is the $275 minimum, the same for every dealer.
Do I pay the $2,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $2,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount county license bonds like this one don't need one.
Where do I file it? +
With the Rockland County office that issues your second-hand gem / dealer license. We issue the executed bond and power of attorney ready to submit.
