Can I send a bracelet to a lab for grading purposes?

What is the reason for having it graded?
Gia you would have to have them removed from the setting.

The best bet is likely an independent appraiser which you can find a list of here:
https://www.pricescope.com/appraisers
 
I was under the impression that that was required before one can get an appraisal. In addition the stones are big. I will contact one of the Pricescope appraisers in my state. Thank you for your information!
 
Thank you Karl_K for the pricescope list! I found an appraiser in the list just a few miles away from my home. However, I'm doubting that the stones are real (15mm 25 each stone). The stone keeps reflecting rainbows, etc. I refuse to waste any money getting an appraisal for this piece. Do you think they are real?
 
It is impossible to tell from a pic for sure.
They are 15mm each? hmmm that would be some mega bucks if they are real.
Call the appraiser and ask how much they would charge just to determine if they are real and if they are for a full appraisal. Some(many?) have a lower fee to determine if its real as it takes just a few min.
Or you could go to a good jewelery store and ask them to test them and they might do it for free.
But to be honest I would rather deal with an independent appraiser for a small fee.
 
Most jewelry stores can do an initial test on them for you. Then like Karl said, call an appraiser.
 
Go to a pawn shop and act like you want to pawn it. They'll pull out a tester on the spot.
