Global jewelry buyer CIRCA has announced the opening of its first private office in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The Beverly Hills, Calif., location marks the 11th CIRCA office, with additional locations—both domestically and abroad—anticipated to open this year. The nearly 4,000 square-feet space is the company’s second-largest office worldwide.

“Beverly Hills is an important addition to the growing family of CIRCA offices,” Carroll said in a statement. “Beverly Hills is home to some of the world’s most sophisticated consumers, and we’re thrilled to bring our services and expertise to the area.”
