Anyone know a good appraiser in Portland, OR?

I am getting my diamond tomorrow and would like to take it to a good appraiser in Portland, OR. Any recommendations out there?

Thanks.

If you don't have any luck finding someone in Portland, there's an Independent MGA (Master Gemologist Appraiser) 2.5 hours away in Seattle.

Her name is Janet Connors Stevens.

I don't know her personally, but an MGA is usually indicative of someone who has put a lot of effort into education.

Geeez, I'd forgotten about Mona in Portland. No need to drive 2.5 hours.
