CIRCA

1. How do you evaluate jewelry?
We look at every piece of jewelry as a completed piece, taking into account its design, where it is made and whether it is a design piece. Another important consideration is its maker: Tiffany, VCA or Cartier, Boucheron, etc.

2. What types of jewelry do you buy?
We buy all types of jewelry, ranging from contemporary jewelry to antique pieces. We have purchased fun Cartier Love bangles to 18th century tiaras.

3. Can you tell me what my jewelry is worth?
When you bring your pieces in, we can examine the items and make you offers to purchase them.

4. Is pricing based on retail value?
For certain contemporary pieces, there may be some relationship to the retail price, however, the most important factor is the desirability and demand for that piece.

5. Can you please explain your process?
It is a very easy one; our clients come in with their items and meet with a buyer, we examine the pieces and make offers to purchase. Should we not come to terms, there is no cost or obligation on our client's part but a check can be issued immediately if the offer is accepted.

6. How long have you been in business?
CIRCA, the only international jewelry buying company, has been in business since 1996.

7. What percentage of my appraisal should I expect?
Every item is evaluated individually. We have paid a percentage of retail in some cases and have paid more than the original retail, based on the desirability, age and condition of the item.

8. To whom do you sell?
We sell to an international group of collectors.

9. Do you buy gold coins?
We buy gold and silver coins, both domestic and foreign.

10. Do you buy watches?
We buy watches, especially Patek Philippe, Rolex, Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet. We purchase watches of all makes and models and pocket watches as well.
