National Association of Jewelry Appraisers (N.A.J.A.) and actually trained about half of the Master Graduate Gemologists in the country when he was an instructor for the American Society of Appraisers (A.S.A.).  The site is a wealth of information, but the laboratory is closed to the public unless you have a referral from an authorized dealer [like us].  

Adamas Gemological Laboratory - Brookline, Massachusetts.

The AGS was founded in 1934 by Robert M. Shipley, who also founded the Gemological Institute of America [GIA].  We rely on the AGS to provide us with the most accurate diamond grading reports available.

American Society of Appraisers
Looking for an independent Graduate Gemologist in your area?  Odds are that you'll find one here!  Search the ASA database and look for a person with the designation "Gems & Jewelry" behind their name.  Look for a person that is not affiliated with a jewelry store if you want a truly impartial opinion.
