The easiest way is to talk to your jeweler and have them send it in. GIA will take work from anyone but it must be unmounted and sent to their lab in California or NY. If you want to do it yourself, instructions are on their website at www.gia.edu. AGS will only accept work from jewelers. They don't all have the same rules. An appraisal is not the same thing so it's hard to answer which is better. What are you trying to accomplish?
