Appraisers may hold GIA diplomas proving gemological education, but there is no such thing as a GIA-certified appraiser or a GIA appraisal. (GIA does laboratory reports, which do not have a value attached.)

If you don't want the necklace, you may be out the deposit that your husband put down on the necklace, as most pawn shops don't allow returns.

Good Luck
