Yes, you can pawn or sell single diamond earrings. Almost all diamonds bought by a buyer are removed from their setting and resold to jewelers.

As we've already noted, you can get away with a much lower color and clarity grade in your diamond stud earrings than you can for a diamond engagement ring. For clarity we typically recommend looking for SI2 clarity or better clarity grade with no visible black inclusions.

All diamonds, from the center stone of an engagement ring to a pair of diamond earrings, have resale value. However, the resale value of a diamond is almost always significantly less than the amount you or your fiancé paid to purchase the diamond when it was new.

Diamond earrings may not hold their value in the same way that stocks or art pieces do, but they can still be a worthwhile investment. Diamonds are known for their durability and timelessness, making them a great accessory to hand down through generations or even sell as antique jewelry at a later date.
