Yes. A diamond that is cut and polished, such as one that you buy for an engagment ring or earring, can become scratched by another diamond, or other very hard material. Thus, microscopic scratches are sometimes found on fine jewelery diamonds when using a Jewelers Loupe, or other magnifying lense. The very hardest diamonds generally can be scratched only by other diamonds, but not all diamonds have the same surface hardness. Scratches can occur during the manufacturing or handling of a diamond, before or after sale. Sometimes naturally occurring surface blemishes can appear as scratches, too.
