Why CIRCA? Our Diamond, Jewelry & Watch Valuation Process
You may have noticed that your old jewelry doesn't speak to you as much as it used to. Your tastes have changed and your jewelry collection is no longer... you. A solution is to sell the jewelry you no longer wear in order to simplify your wardrobe or purchase new pieces that you actually want to wear. Our highly trained specialists have the knowledge and expertise to maximize the price you receive and make selling your unwanted jewelry a truly rewarding experience.
How do you value my jewelry?
CIRCA buyers take many factors into consideration when offering for your diamonds, jewelry and watches.
Diamonds
Diamonds are typically evaluated based on their inherent characteristics, in other words, the 4C's (Carat, Cut, Color, Clarity) you've heard about. Yet, overall appearance, the beauty of the diamond, and most importantly, the current demand for those attributes drive the price we offer. That said, during a diamond evaluation our experts also look at some lesser known features such as the fluorescence and light performance - all with the objective of providing you the best value when selling your diamond.
Jewelry
When we make offers for your jewelry, we account for the maker, the vintage, the condition, the quality, style and desirability of each piece. With our network of enthusiastic international jewelry collectors, we believe that we can provide you with the best offer you’ll receive anywhere.
Watches

“My experience with CIRCA was a delight from the time of the initial inquiry to the sale of my bracelet. I feel that taking the time to educate me about my bracelet helped me understand how the price offered was reached. Receiving the check at the time of the visit was an added plus. I would definitely use CIRCA any time I may have jewelry to sell. It was a really wonderful experience.”
– Barbara, New York Client
