Not only can you get your diamond stud earrings appraised, but you definitely should. Jewelry appraisals will not only help you determine the item's value, but will also give you an estimate on how much you should insure it for. In my opinion, diamond jewelry should always be insured against possible loss, theft or damages. You can add you diamond jewelry to your pre-existing insurance policy or you can opt to purchase a new policy for your items. Whatever your choice, insurance companies will ask to see your diamond jewelry's appraisals and value estimates before they agree to insure your items. That way, the insurance companies can be sure that the item they are insuring is both authentic and that the coverage is exact.

Whether the diamond jewelry in question is a pair of diamond earrings, a diamond engagement ring, a diamond necklace, or a diamond pendant - you can certainly get any piece of diamond jewelry appraised. The price of appraisal varies in accordance with the size of the jewelry. It also depends on whether or not the diamonds will need to be removed in order to evaluate their worth separately from that of the precious metals in which they are set. If removing the diamonds from the piece of jewelry requires a lot of delicate work then this will definitely raise the price of the appraisal of your diamond earrings.

Take into consideration that if you want the diamonds to be examined thoroughly and to get a price for them, the diamond appraiser might need to take them out from the metal earrings in order to have the loose diamonds checked. I don't know what is the earring design and whether taking out the diamond is a complex task or not. Otherwise, the appraiser might still be able to give you a price range evaluation for the diamond earrings as a whole.

You can get any piece of diamond jewelry appraised. As I assume your diamond earrings aren't very large, you can get a decent diamond appraisal for as low as $50.
