most jewlers have not even seen one of thease gems as they are so rare i have tried asking the local jewlers about it but they have no clue they just admire it.

Look at this site:
http://www.paraibainternational.com/paraiba-tourmaline-c-3.html
It'll give you an idea or the value. You can then have the setting valued seperately.
There's a 2.08 carat gem on the above site valued at $1100 but it'll depend on the quaility of the individual gem. I guess yours may be about the same (plus the gold of course).

You can look on this site here to get a general idea of their prices for this gemstone, unset, however you should do a websearch for paraiba tourmaline to get a better idea and perhaps find a jewler who deals in them...don't sell it to the same jewler who appraises it though.

I'd think any reputable jewler could appraise it.

Jeweller will charge you about £ 20-£25 I think for valuation. But you can ask them first I supposed.
