NYC appraiser, OEC and/or ASET experienced?

[Circe]

I just had a great appraisal done with Robert Bunda, but I think I'd like to go the techier route with my new stone. Can anybody recommend an appraiser with either ASET equipment, or a lot of experience with old cuts, or ideally both in NYC?

Circe, I'm sure you know this, but you can always send a stone to be appraised if you can't find what you are looking for locally.

Smokey, awesome - thanks! I'd completely forgotten the list included that info. Perfect!

(And, if anybody has used Travis Lejman and wants to chime in on the experience ... )

Slg, I know ... but I'm weirdly paranoid about shipping pricey items. I know that statistically, I'm probably likelier to be mugged while wearing the thing, but I try to use local resources if and when I can. Like a gemologically oriented locavore?

It sounds like he (Lejman) has all the tools to give you the info you need. Just make it clear what you want upfront.
