    Speaking as a gallery operator this is not good practise nor does it
    demonstrate good faith towards the artist. 

    I would definitely let the other jewellers know about your situation
    and warn them about the possibility of these things happening. You
    have direct experience to point to, not just hearsay. 

    Anything lost or stolen or broken in our store is automatically
    reimbursed to the artist and the gallery then is the proud owner. We
    have this policy perhaps because we are artists ourselves and we
    have also experienced unscrupulous practises by gallery dealers. 

    Do you have a signed consignment agreement? Maybe this should have a
    picture of the work attached to it. 

    Beware beware beware is the adage that an artist has to take when
    leaving your work on consignment anywhere. 

    Perhaps small claims court? We have that here in Canada. 

Good luck.
