They're simply called valuers. A gemologist doesn't necessarily do valuations, but valuers are gemologists.

In the retail diamond trade, it is a gemologist/appraiser who values diamonds. Long before that happens though, diamonds have been sorted and valued several times. Initially, it is the Diamond Trading Company (owned by De Beers Group) that sorts and values the rough diamonds. 84 clients of DTC, called "sightholders", evaluate and purchase rough diamonds for cutting and polishing. Subsequently, these sightholders may resell the diamonds to jewelry manufacturers or diamond wholesalers. Eventually, the diamonds make their way to the consumer. By that time, they have been valued several times.

Diamonds are valaued by the 4 C's - cut, clarity, colour & carat weight. A 1ct diamond can vary between 15k and a few hunderd pounds based on these characteristics. This is done by a valuer.

the price values of most minerals are determined by the financial market. diamonds are traded on the american stock exchange just like stocks. it's value is determined basically by supply and demand. an appraiser follows the market's value and tells the customer how much his/her diamond is worth in the market. cool eh?
