I''ll add this info in case someone ever searches like I did:
It took me a little bit of looking to find an independent appraiser in the Santa Barbara, California area but I finally found one in Carpinteria. He does not sell diamonds so he doesn''t have a conflict of interest. It was my first appriasial so I can''t compare, but he seemed to be very thourough.
