Emeralds are precious gemstones that deserve attentive care to preserve their natural beauty and longevity. Unlike diamonds, emeralds are more delicate and can be vulnerable to damage if not handled with consideration. Most emeralds—over 90%—undergo some form of clarity enhancement, the most traditional being oil-based fracture filling, which helps improve their visual transparency by minimising the appearance of natural inclusions (jardin). At PureJewels, we are committed to total transparency, and we disclose both the type and degree of treatment on every emerald we offer.

To maintain the beauty and integrity of your emerald jewellery, gentle cleaning is essential. Use a soft brush with mild soap and lukewarm water to clean your piece. Avoid using ultrasonic or steam cleaners, as these methods can exacerbate any existing fractures and cause irreversible damage. Similarly, emeralds should not be exposed to harsh chemicals or sudden temperature changes, which can compromise both the stone and its treatments.

When storing your emerald jewellery—especially items crafted in 22ct gold or platinum—keep each piece in its own soft-lined box or pouch to prevent scratches and damage. We also recommend removing emerald rings or bracelets before rigorous activity or cleaning tasks.

At PureJewels, we offer complimentary guidance on gemstone care and invite you to visit our showroom for professional advice and cleaning services. With mindful attention, your emerald jewellery will remain radiant and meaningful for generations to come.
