THANKS! I''m new to all of this. Are these all trusted appraisers by PS users?

I believe they are but I am not totally sure what it takes to get onto that list. There are some very highly recommended appraisers on this site if you are willing to mail the item out of the state but none of the major contributors to this forum are in NY (to my knowledge). If you wait until later today I am sure someone will suggest a specific appraiser in your area that they have used.

It is also important to realize what you expect from your appraiser. You might also want to read these threads:

I have not been able to find one in Manhattan. I've tried.
If anyone has any recommendations, I'd love to hear from them. The experiences i have had were not satisfactory and are written up on one of the web sites mentioned in the Pricescope link.
I am thinking of having my jewelry sent to one of the highly regarded appraisers who post here regularly or making the trip to see one of them.
