    ========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== In the US you can find an accredited appraiser, essentially an appraiser that was trained in more than just gem id and grading. I would recommend the ASA http://www.ganoksin.com/gnkurl/ep80zz and the NAJA (National Association of Jewelry Appraisers) http://www.ganoksin.com/gnkurl/ep803i The NAJA has a great conference in Tucson directly before the AGTA show. They have jewelry north shore lij ess specific presenters. Worth every penny if you can participate. Even non appraiser learn. We try to cover multiple bases with our appraisal firm having NAJA, ASA and AGS trained appraisers. We stay with ASA and NAJA as they stick with appraising specifically. AGSis a great association, we did belong and were but a few of their ICGAs (Independent Certified Gemologist Appraisers) but they tend to gravitate moreto retail north shore lij ess ethics than appraisal standards. They do set the standard for retail ethics and I would hope they let me rejoin if I was to go back to retail (even after this post). But appraising is not always about delivering north shore lij ess complementary news. We inspect, We evaluatequality, workmanship and condition. We then research the appropriate market then assign a document-able and supportable opinion of value based on intended use, limiting conditions and a comparable market. An appraisal needs that methodological approach to hold up in court and be ethically viable. I think of jewelry appraisal as a 4 legged stool. Three may work but when the four legs are balanced they are very stable. Leg one: Gemology with an emphasis on grading, not just diamonds. Leg two: Jewelry manufacturing skills or a competentunderstanding of them. Again an emphasis on judging good (or bad) workmanship. Leg three: Valuation Principals, that is how to research and find an appropriate market and document your results. Essen
