I had absolutely zero issues with Circa - in fact, I found them informative, helpful, and thorough. I dealt with Claire - scheduled an appointment easily, got multiple texts confirming the appointment and did not have to wait at all. Claire was incredibly pleasant and professional and walked me through the options for selling a diamond ring I had unexpectedly inherited. She made an offer - which was lower than I hoped. We went through the steps to get the stone GIA assessed, which was able to increase the offer. Did I sell it below its value? No idea. Maybe - but I got the price I wanted so I guess we were both happy with the exchange. She followed up as did Jeanetta about processing the payment. AND I just now got a fed ex gift box of chocolates thanking me for my business and selling the ring through them?!? To me - that's a kind of 'classy' touch / above & beyond. I suppose, like every and any-thing else: DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH beforehand - you can go on-line and scope out general prices and I didn't get estimates/offers from multiple places - which I could have -- and maybe should have. All in all I would say : everything went smoothly and I believe I received a fair deal : I would say Thumbs Up read more

THEY ARE COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME/ENERGY & EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL & PLAY MIND GAMES WITH YOU IF YOU LET THEM. I had a feeling they would waste my time so I kept asking to give me the rough estimate for my watch so I didn't have to drive over there & those requests via text were totally ignored 3 times. they texted me the day before my appointment & made me go to their old address, extremely unprofessional! when I get there, I notice the appraiser was scanning me and what I was wearing probably to see how much mind game she should play with me. 5mins after she pretended like doing something important on her laptop, she actually asked me how much I wanted for the item instead of giving me the appraisal. ofc I didn't answer that stupid question. why would I?! are we at the street market in thailand?! and it's not a $5 item were discussing here. I've sold to other known second hand luxury businesses and never have I ever being asked such unprofessional question just to play mind games. the watch is a 15k watch a year old brand new & this french or german middle aged appraiser lady offered me $3500 LOL. & their website has the same item being sold for 11k which I researched prior & showed her after the BS offer. PLS STOP WASTING PPLS TIMES! read more

circa Newport my appointment was at 12noon I was left waiting for 20 min. when I was finally greeted no apology or explanation for the wait . My ring is IGI CERTIFIED 2.21 carot weight cut grade ideal color D clarity grade VVS2. original price $10,520 for just the center diamond. the setting and ring guards are 3.2 carot total weight from JARODS chosen collection original price $5000. circa deemed my ring invaluable due to a lab grown diamond center stone even though it is IGI certified. The women called the center stone "synthetic ". Lab grown makes it not rare and a few other uneducated comments offering less then $300 for a near flawless ring in my opinion this is not a company who treat's customers or their jewelry with care. I would never recommend it to anyone read more

See all

Shit company. Have cancelled my appointment the day before for 3 weeks in a row with no notice or reason for doing so

Selling my diamonds was such a breeze and Amanda was so incredibly helpful. I got the best deal possible and I am so happy with the service Amanda provided for me! I highly recommend booking an appointment with her at this location! You will not be disappointed! I know I'll be back with other pieces in near future. read more

Don't waste your time, they will low ball you beyond belief. They'll waste your time and then offer some ridiculous amount. They're located in an office share and it's only one person representing them. Unfortunately it wasn't a positive experience, go elsewhere. read more

My name is Samuel I looked a Circa advertisement and I was impressed they are buying jewellery with diamonds And not a scrap gold as most of the check cashing places do buy scrap gold at 10-20 % on the dollar so they are a total ripoff so I thought the way circa false advertising it must me an honest business I made an appointment and went to see them in high power building tower in Beverly Hills I took with me 2 items 1- 18 karat gold bracelet 83 grams in weight and has lots of quality diamonds it is a brand new 2- a Swiss watch that is used but it is a 18 karat gold with a band that has 120 of the finest diamond the gold was 130 grams it is very rare watch 2 weeks before I went to Circa I went to downtown Los Angeles and tried to sell the bracelet 2 different buyers offered me $4000 the scrap value to melt the Bracelet but circa the lady they called an appraiser offered $2800 I asked her this not even close number if you are going to melt down the bracelet her answer was a genuis one we pay a refinery to melt the gold that was outrageous answer because I didn't take the bracelet as a scrap gold the funny part is she was counting the diamonds to give me the impression that she is considering the value of the diamond this business is extremely dishonest business and a total ripoff company please think a million times before you go there they will steal the item from you you are much better off to go to check cashing place to sell or a mall close to you than to go to this place read more

I had the BEST experience dealing with Circa! Amanda was extremely professional, friendly, thorough and quick! I highly recommend them

Soheila is a sweetheart who will treat you well. She will also offer you $390 for a Cartier watch that is worth $4000+. Honestly, she's such a nice woman, but CIRCA's business model is to devalue luxury goods. EXAMPLE: She offered me $5000 for 2 Cartier and 2 IWC watches in excellent condition. I repeat, $5000 for 4 WATCHES! Soheila insists you call her to negotiate. Why bother when you can walk down Rodeo and Wilshire and get offered $4000 for one Cartier watch? I know the 5-star reviews compliment Circa's kind customer service, but this is a buyer-seller business, and they will take advantage of you BIG TIME! read more

First time I heard about Circa was in a magazine. Their objective is to write a check immediately, for your unneeded, or non-use jewelry: valuable jewelry and watches that just sits in your jewelry box, safe deposit, or in idle storage... They fill a needed niche in the marketplace - the ideal crossover between casual pawn shop and the upscale auction house, such as Christie's or Sotheby's. Adriana and Wes were so professional, patient, and educational about the process of selling quality, invaluable, costly, and high designer jewelry in non-use. It can get very emotional, especially on attached or sentimental gifted pieces. Please be forewarned that it can be very shocking, discerning, and difficult to process initially - how much your pricey luxury jewelry truly loses its resale value; yet they offer realistic competitive market prices, explain how the quote was derived, encourage you to shop around - without ever pushing you! There is no pressure, so do you feel more comfortable... Adriana is an experienced graduate gemologist, and she will also consign uncertain pieces to be sent to NY for a targeted offer price, with their direct buyers to review your piece and make an offer at the suggested, yet realistic target price. Discreetly located in the Prudential building (between Saks 5th Ave and Neiman Marcus), on the corner on Roxbury and Wilshire, they validate parking in the Saks 5th Ave parking structure. Circa maintains your dealings with the utmost confidence, protecting your privacy. They issue you a check immediately - once you have decided to sell at the quoted offer, for your piece or pieces. I encourage you to inquire with Adriana and Wes (both very personable), if you have high end watches and jewelry that sits idle, don't use or wear anymore... You have nothing to lose, with only $monies$ to gain, and a better understanding of your jewelry valuation. read more

CIRCA - Beverly Hills - Adriana will carefully examine your pieces, and offer you a quote, with a detailed explanation of how she derived the quote... - Diamond Buyers Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I had some watches that I wanted to sell. Circa's senior manager Amanda was able to work on a deal with me. She was fast, super professional and was upfront about the value of my watches. Easy to book the appointment and their service is fast! read more

This company stops payment on checks. BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE Claire at this business evaluated my ring ,tested it purchased from me and stopped payment. I currently don't have the payment or the ring. This company is is not anything I would recommend to anyone. On top of all of this she was so rude during our appt . Do yourself a favor do not even think to go here. read more

This business is terrible I understand having to make a profit but this business is actually a joke, I wouldn't recommend anyone to do business with them read more

They told me they would make me a competitive offer for my jewlery. I drove all the way over there and they made me a low-ball offer that insulted my intelligence. Stay away from these people. read more

Excellent business. The receptionist is warm and welcoming and Wes was a pleasure to deal with. I had a few pieces I was selling and made appointments with with several buyers. I had an appointment earlier in the day with another buyer on Wilshire that starts with an R and ends with and E. That appointment left me rather offended to say the least as I could have received a better offer from a Pawnshop on sunset. I come from a family of jewelers, I know the business and I knew the value of my items. I called CIRCA since I was in the area and they gladly accommodated my last minute appointment. Wes was very friendly from the start despite my casual appearance and the office felt safe and professional. Wes explained the process and gave his basic jewelry buying/selling 101 talk that I can tell he gives to all his first time clients. He was very honest with his approach and his explanation of the process was really upfront. I can tell he takes great care to not offend people because hey, we all think our stuff is worth a fortune right?? When Wes made his assessment of my jewelry, his offer was absolutely fair and and up to 40% better than previous offers I have received. I liked Wes and Circa so much I made a deal right then. I didn't need to waste my time anywhere else for a lesser offer. read more

I was a little hesitant to go to CIRCA because I thought they would only be interested in high end, name jewelry. But I was mistaken. From the receptionist welcoming my brother and me to being introduced to Wes we were made to feel right at home. Wes explained the process and we immediately felt we would get a fair deal, and we did. I will advise my friends not to waste their time going to a jeweler but go directly to CIRCA to sell their gold. We went to a recommended jeweler first and his quote was much lower than what we got from CIRCA. It was such a pleasure doing business with Wes. I'll be returning soon with some gold scraps. read more

I recently experienced Circa when I had a few jewelry items to sell. I have sold gold and silver many times in the past for its intrinsic value, but I knew that these pieces I had were unique and I wanted to have an expert look and provide an offer. There is no question that Circa has no competition if this is what you are looking for. The entire experience at Circa is classy. From the beautiful lobby area to the comfortable clean buying rooms. Most importantly, the people I worked with were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They seemed trustworthy and took the time to educate me on the pieces I had, the price they could offer, and the rationale for that price. From what I've heard and experienced, Circa pays competitive prices. But based on my experience I had there there is no competition in terms of the overall selling experience. If you want to work with true professionals in a lovely setting this is where to go. read more

The receptionist was quite rude, when I asked where Suite 300 was. Finally, after some waiting Elizabeth introduced herself and walked us in. The place was going through some construction, so it was a little office.. anyway, the reason for my 1 star review is that the place offer a shameful 5cents to a dollar value on you precious jewels. I have had my items appraised with Gia certificates, and I was offered l, as I said 5 cents to a dollar value (maybe even less) If you are in distress and want to sell your $30k jewelry for $2k, then this is the place for you. They were also willing to pay $2k for a $9k item.. so clearly no logic went into the offer, seemed like she was just decided what number to write in the offer. Towards the end there was no explanation whatsoever of how the numbers were derived. I would not recommend this place to anyone.. As another reviewer has noted (and I wish I would have taken heed) it's a glorified pawn shop.. read more

It was our first visit to CIRCA and we were SO impressed. We arrived 45 minutes early because traffic was a breeze, and Wes greeted us promptly and offered us coffee/water. Within three minutes, Adriana invited us into her office. Both were happy to accommodate us early. Most places would make you wait until your scheduled appointment time! Adriana spent two hours with us. We had a lot of my mother's old jewelry to sell/consign, much of it from the 1950s. Adriana is highly skilled and honest. We appreciated that she took the time to examine each piece and quote us what CIRCA would offer. There was no pressure at all and we were given the option to reject any offer she put on the table. Look, to the person who criticized CIRCA for insulting her intelligence with low-ball figures, come on down from your ivory tower. Unless you own the Hope Diamond, jewelry is not an investment that will make you rich. There's a huge markup, even when you're buying at trade shows. Chances are you have an inflated idea of what your collection is worth and reality is a shock. Sorry about that. It's not CIRCA's fault. We fully expected offers of maybe 25%-40% of what mom paid for at retail, and that's the range we got. A check was issued on the spot. Adriana also retained four pieces on consignment and we're hoping there's a buyer for them. Again, the $ range was more than adequate and to our expectations. We wish every business could be run like CIRCA. True professionals, not snooty or judgmental...really skilled and courteous, professional and friendly. Highly recommend them to everyone. You won't be sorry. read more

Wes is the best. Extremely helpful would be an understatement. He was honest, straight forward and at no point did I ever feel like I was going to be taken advantage of or swindled. I highly recommend Circa for all your diamond needs. read more

I would have rated this establishment a 10 had I been able! From beginning to end, Wes was truthful (major bonus) informative and just plain nice! My expectations were exceeded! read more

Wes is extremely knowledgeable about the process of buying and selling fine jewelry. I found him to be very honest and fair. There was no pressure involved and I truly appreciated how caring he was about my feelings. It can be quite shocking to hear the resale value of your pricey jewelery once its appraised but Wes explains the process thoroughly and you can feel comfortable knowing you received the best information. He understands that you may want to shop around or even take some time to think about it. Truly, there is no pressure. I would highly recommend Circa - Beverly Hills to anyone! read more

Wes is fabulous! Professional, honest, and fair. I would highly recommend CIRCA to anyone!

I highly recommend CIRCA to anyone in the Beverly Hills area. Go here first. Do not waste time as I did with other locations nearby. I dealt with Wes. He was friendly, courteous, professional and fair. I could not have had a more positive experience. read more

My husband and I had the most pleasant experience with Circa Jewels, specifically Wes Carroll! We sold a 2 carat diamond and definitely received the best price and service from Circa Jewels. Wes was EXTREMELY wonderful to work with! Professional, honest, educated and personable are just a few words to describe him. My husband and I are so glad we went with Circa Jewels and did not consider any other online diamond buyers as they did not present themselves as well or offer us the best price. I would highly recommend Circa Jewels and Wes Carroll to anyone in the market of selling their jewels. We were lucky enough to find this "gem" of a store! read more

CIRCA is a joke ! I had a watch from Hermès and one from Louis Vuitton. A local "Mom & Pop" pawn shop offered me $350 for the Hermes while CIRCA offered $300 (FIFTY DOLLARS LESS !). "Mom & Pop" offered $150 for the Vuitton as did CIRCA. I sold the Hermès for $1,100 and the Vuitton for $1,995. Yes, you read that right. DO NOT go to CIRCA ! There are many other ways to dispose of your fine assets. read more

Wes Carroll is a gem (forgive the pun) and is the go-to for selling your jewelry. He is a true professional with none of the "sketchy" attributes that often go in these transactions. I highly recommend Circa due to Wes's attention to detail, responsiveness and fair pricing. Even the receptionist is accommodating. Go here first and save yourself a lot of time...and get a good deal. read more

People have their various reasons to visit a jeweler, and they can range from joyous, to being in need. This location was so intimate, warm, inviting, and made you feel special throughout. Wes and his team want to get to know you professionally and casually, and it stands out in an industry that can seem complicated or intimidating to some. Wes broke it down. Rarely does any kind of showroom make you feel this welcome, and interested in you and your needs. Leave your expectations at the door, and trust what this group is doing for you and educating you on. read more

I have been to Circa twice and each time was a very rewarding experience. If you are wanting to sell your jewelry, this is certainly the place to go. The receptionist is so very helpful in all phases of her responsibilities. Wes Carroll is an outstanding professional who you can trust. In addition to selling my jewelry, I received an education from him!!! With the depth and breadth of his knowledge and experience, he was able to advise me about the jewelry he could purchase, as well as give me recommendations for that which he could not. He is also a good source for jewelry that you might like to purchase. I give Circa on Wilshire Boulevard the highest recommendation. read more

Went today to Circa and had great experience with Wes Carrol who was so professional that i cannot even compare him to anyone in Beverly Hills. I mean other guys did not even measure diamond properly and keep asking me how many carat my ring is. I would say Wes is on international level of jeweler highest possible in service and personality. Office is also one of the best and it looks as high end jewelery stores in New York, London or Paris. Do not waste your time anywhere else you will get fair price and great service. Wes Thnks from Natalia. read more
