Most will have a page on their websites that outline their particular pricing structure. It ranges from about $75 to $200 depending on who you use, what your requirements are and what shipping details are involved.

upgrade-me Rough Rock Total Posts: 31 Last Post: 8/27/2008 Member Since: 4/23/2005	Hi countingdown - Just as a FYI, I sent my engagement ring to an appraiser even after Whiteflash gave me their independent appraiser's assessment. The cost to me was $150 in NJ. The appraiser was purely an appraiser; he was not associated with any jewelry vendors. It took about an hour for him to inspect the diamond (color, clarity, measurements, symmetry, polish, depth and angle). I purposely did NOT tell him it was certifiied until he was close to being finished at which point I mentioned that it was GIA certified. He then compared his inspection to the cert. He was pretty close to the cert on all aspects. The 'scary' thing (in a good sense)was that his appraised cost of the engagement ring was only $80 different than the one Whiteflash had sent me from their outside appraiser. I paid $150 for peace of mind, knowing that the diamond belonged to the cert. Good luck! Upgrade-me

I called many independent appraiser around northan california . avarage is $180- $250 ( some place told me $125 for 1 hour ) good luck to find good appraiser.

Here's the link to his rates and fees ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

Critique/Consultation I just got my appraisal back from Richard today, and it was the best $165 I could have spent. Very thorough analysis and I am very impressed by the quality of the reports. He worked with the set piece so that didn't need to go through the hassle of buying the diamond shipping it to him, getting it set shippiing back to him etc... Of course if you have to do the appraisal remotely keep in mind that you are going to need to pay for shipping there and back.
