Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or specialized replacement jewelry sites, as eBay is the top marketplace for single replacement earrings.
Selling Tips
Take clear macro photographs showing the hallmark stamp if one is present on the post or interior. List specifically as a 'single replacement earring' and include exact measurements in millimeters. Have the metal and stones tested before listing so you can accurately state if it is solid gold and genuine diamonds.
