The Jewelers Circle was built by six leading luxury vintage firms and debuted in October 2020. Its core functions include the ability to browse thousands of listings with powerful search filters, the ability to save searches and receive notifications when new items become available. Jewelers Circle allows users to connect with hundreds of top dealers from across the world, save favorite items to watchlists and bid on 24-hour reserve pricing “Best Offers” listings.

“Last year during the pandemic, The Jewelers Circle platform was conceptualized and then developed after recognizing that global business travel and in-person events would be greatly impacted. We sought to create a digital solution to showcase some of the rarest and most exquisite vintage and signed pieces as well as gemstones in a virtual marketplace where fine jewelers, designers, dealers and retailers from around the world could connect, discover and ultimately do business at any time and from anywhere,” says Marianne Fisher, Co-Founder and Managing Director of the Jewelers Circle. “We are thrilled to celebrate a successful first year in business and very grateful to the community that has joined us. We have continued to enhance and evolve the platform based on the feedback and needs of our subscribers over the past 12 months. It is truly invigorating hearing about the relationships being forged and business transactions that have occurred because of the platform. We thank our subscribers for being part of the ever-growing community and look forward to continuing to launch new features to optimize luxury businesses, digitally.”
