Need an Appraiser in Chicago

[TheBachelor]

Can anyone suggest a good appraiser in Chicago. I already talked to Professional Gem Sciences but they said the only grade diamonds and verify diamonds against a certificate. They do not do valuations for insurance purposes.

I was hoping to find an appraiser that would not only do the valuation, but also a verification of the cut with a sarin machine. I wanted to get the printed sarin report for the diamond. The few appraisers I''ve called don''t have sarin machines. They said they verify the cut angles in some other way but not with a sarin machine.

Thanks

http://www.appraisers.org/ is a good place to start! But you may need to send the diamond to an independent like Bill Lieberman http://www.accurateappraisal.com or David Atlas http://www.gemappraisers.com for a Sarin - or get PGS to run one for you and let another local appraiser determine the market value of the stone.
