Frequently Asked Questions
Is emerald durable enough for everyday wear?
Emerald rates 7.5-8 on the Mohs hardness scale, but it's more brittle than that number suggests due to natural internal inclusions. It's a beautiful choice for regular wear with reasonable care, but we recommend removing it before heavy manual work or contact sports.
How much does this emerald piece cost in solid gold?
At The Karat Store, this emerald piece starts at $1,310.4 in 10K gold, $1,478.4 in 14K gold, and $1,680 in 18K gold — all solid gold, not plated.
Should I choose 10K, 14K, or 18K gold for this piece?
18K gold (75% pure) has the richest color and softest feel. 14K gold (58.3% pure) is the most popular balance of durability and value. 10K gold (41.7% pure) is the most affordable and most scratch-resistant.
Is this solid gold all the way through, or just gold-plated?
This piece is solid gold throughout, not gold-plated — the karat purity runs all the way through the metal. Unlike plated jewelry, it won't flake, discolor, or expose base metal over time, and it carries a karat hallmark stamp as proof of authenticity.
How do I clean and care for emerald jewelry at home?
Clean gently with warm water, a mild soap, and a soft brush — avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steam cleaning, which can damage emeralds due to their natural inclusions. Remove before swimming, exercising, or applying lotion, and store separately from other jewelry.
