An appraiser is somebody who judges what a valuable is worth. A jewellery appraiser, ask an appraiser, the appraiser's report.

The value depends on the purpose: insurance replacement, resale and probate give three different figures for the same object, and a good report says which it is. Appraiser is chiefly American; British usage says valuer. Note appraise, not apprise.
