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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $2,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
