Emeralds are relatively durable and hard, with a Mohs hardness rating of 7.5-8, making them suitable for everyday wear. However, they are more prone to chipping and scratching than some other gemstones, and they may require more careful handling. To ensure that your emerald jewellery stays in good condition, it is a good idea to remove it before engaging in activities that may put it at risk of being scratched or chipped, such as cooking or cleaning. It is also a good idea to store your emerald separately from other jewellery to prevent it from being scratched or damaged. With proper care and handling, emeralds can be worn every day and will remain beautiful for years to come.
