How do I care for emerald jewellery?

Emeralds are softer than diamonds and require gentle handling during everyday wear. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and ultrasonic baths. Store pieces individually in soft pouches to prevent scratching against other items in your collection.

What do oil treatments mean?

Natural emeralds often undergo oil treatment to enhance their clarity and appearance. Certifications commonly grade these treatments as negligible, minor, insignificant, or no oil. Stones with minimal or no oil enhancement are particularly sought after by discerning collectors.

Are these pieces suitable for daily wear?

Many buyers wear these rings and earrings regularly, provided they receive appropriate care. Platinum and eighteen-carat gold settings offer robust support for the stones. Prongs and settings should be checked periodically by a professional jeweller to ensure ongoing security.
