About choosing

You can choose the emerald jewelry with surrounding accent stones such as diamonds or white sapphires. Not only do they enhance the beauty of the emeralds, but these harder stones also protect the emerald from side impacts.
Finding a reputable jeweler is important and you can ask your jeweler if the emeralds have been "oiled." Most emeralds are immersed in a colorless oil or resin to minimize the appearance of "inclusions," internal fractures that, if struck, can lead to breaks in the gemstone.
About cleaning and storing
When cleaning emerald birthstone jewelry, you should make a mild soapy solution with warm water in a basin. You’d better test the water temperature with your finger. Then you can soak the emerald jewelry in the solution for few minutes. Remove the jewelry from the cleaning solution and clean the stones with a soft cloth or toothbrush. Lastly, rinse the jewelry with warm water to wash off the soapy water and pat it dry.
Store your emerald jewelry separate from other gemstones because harder stones will scratch softer ones.
