    This is another thing to add to the pile for your repair / craft lot. Single earrings without a makers mark & that are missing stones are almost impossible to sell.

    Make into a pin or so it can hang on a chain. :)

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I like that idea!

    The exception to this is cluster bead earrings. They sell pretty well as singles. There was a trend for a while to make bride's bouquets out of those (I think that's what people were doing with them); I don't know if it's still a trend, but the cluster earrings still seem to be selling pretty well.

    Here's a sold lot, just grabbed the first one I found - 68 singles sold for $38.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Mod-Single-Earrings-Lot-Rhinestone-Cluster-Bead-Craft-68pcs-Colorful-/272587588942?hash=item3f777c854e:g:WkUAAOSw~AVYrPTg&nma=true&si=wMEHSZAN7NLlZ4wSgHVZbHy9ERY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

    ETA: OP's earring I would save for the craft/repair pile like bercrystal suggested. Those junk jewelry lots do very well too!

    Hi,
    I have a lot of female friends with 2 holes in one lobe and one in the other. They are usually the ones buying just one earring. I think it was a real fad in the 70s and 80s.

    Just wanted to add that this earring is probably a Selro/Selini piece.
