Single Round Cut Clear Cubic Zirconia Stud Earring
Unbranded / Mystery Maker · Jewelry & Watches > Earrings
Era / Decade
Modern (2010s-2020s)
Material
Likely Cubic Zirconia stone set in surgical steel, silver-plated brass, or sterling silver. The high-shine and dark grey post suggest a base metal or stainless steel common in affordable fashion jewelry.
Condition
Good. The stone appears intact with decent clarity, though the metal post may have slight oxidation. Being a single earring significantly reduces value.
Demand Level
Low. Single earrings are difficult to sell unless they are high-end designer pieces or solid gold.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$1.00 - $5.00
Estimated Retail Value
$10.00 - $25.00 (for a complete pair)
Comparable Sales
Single costume earrings rarely sell individually online but are often found in jewelry 'jars' or bulk lots at thrift stores which sell for $10-$20 per bag.
Description
A single classic round brilliant cut clear stone stud earring. Features a multi-prong basket setting in a silver-tone metal. Ideal as a replacement for a lost earring or for someone with multiple piercings. Minimalist, timeless design.
Key Features
Universal round cut style; neutral clear 'diamond-look' stone; versatile size for lobe or cartilage piercings.
Authenticity Indicators
Low confidence. No visible hallmark (e.g., 925, 14K) on the post in photograph. Lack of internal fire/spectral colors usually indicates CZ rather than diamond.
Flaws to Note
Missing its mate (single earring only); missing the butterfly back/ear nut; potential for metal allergies if not high-grade sterling silver or gold.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Local platforms like Facebook Marketplace (bundled with other jewelry), Mercari (as a 'mismatched' or replacement lot), or a garage sale.
Selling Tips
Do not sell as a standalone item as shipping will exceed the value. Bundle this with other 'orphan' earrings to sell as a 'Jewelry Craft Lot' or 'Replacement Earring Lot' for people who have lost theirs. Clean with a jewelry cloth before photographing.
