Appraiser in Los Angeles? Costs?

[oliviob]

Hey all. Does anyone have any recommendations for a great appraiser for my new e-ring? What costs should I expect to day on average? Thanks!

I have not dealt with her yet but I have heard good things about:

Jennifer Thornton-Davis

She's in Encino.

She is listed in the Pricescope appraiser list.

Kcoursolle and I have both used Patrick Davis - he is near Santa Monica. ~$100 Super nice guy, likes to educate, shows you stuff under the microscope, lets you check out his master set while he grades color, etc. Here is a link. His rates are on there too. You make an appt and go and watch him do it. (He does have Saturday appts)

Jennifer is great! I had a "consultation" with her about a year ago, as I wanted to know more about my WF ering. I didn''t feel the need to go for the full-blown appraisal, as the letter of verification that WF included with the ring was enough to insure it via Chubb.

Hey, I recognize that building. It''s right next to the Costco. I used to live nearby. My friend lives right next to him. Maybe I should check him out the next time we visit our friend. I''ve always wondered what stores are in that cool looking building.
