Houston Appraisers

[moyac01]

Hello All,
First I''d like to thank all of you in advance for your deep understanding and contributions. I''ve been browsing these forums for weeks gathering all the knowledge necessary to make a good buying decision. Now that I have my ring, I need to have it appraised. Anyone familiar with appraisers in Houston? I found someone named Ben Gordon aka Jewelry Judge. But he''s not listed on pricescope as an appraiser. Anyone have experience with him or any other reputable appraiser in the area?
Thanks,
moyac

This is the same guy I used. He was great (and he appraised the stone loose and then after it was set, all for 100.00)

It comes with a nice map of the stone, laminated (sp?), etc. and the appraised value in a nice floder. He''s really nice too!

He''s in the same buliding as whiteflash (a tall building that has TONS of jelwery stores

)

Excellent, I will contact Alfred Lastovica. Being in the same building as Whiteflash has to be a plus
