How to wear it Browse more crystal rings or pieces chosen for love and happiness. Because each emerald is natural and rough, color, shape, and size vary from piece to piece, so your ring will be unique and may differ from the photo. The adjustable band fits most sizes comfortably. Care & cleansing Emerald is fairly hard (Mohs 7.5–8) but also naturally included and sometimes oil- or resin-treated, so avoid soaking, ultrasonic or steam cleaners, and harsh chemicals, which can affect any fracture-filling and dull the stone's surface. A quick rinse with mild soap and a soft cloth is safest. To cleanse it energetically, many people prefer sound or moonlight over water.
