Frequently Asked Questions
Are emeralds treated, and does that affect their value?
Most emeralds, including this one, undergo a minor oil treatment to enhance clarity — this is standard, accepted industry practice and does not make the stone less genuine. It's disclosed here for transparency, as it is across the fine jewelry industry.
How much does this emerald earring cost in solid gold?
At The Karat Store, this emerald earring starts at $468 in 10K gold, $528 in 14K gold, and $600 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.
Are these earrings safe for sensitive ears?
Yes. Solid gold is naturally hypoallergenic and won't flake or expose base metal like plated jewelry can.
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.
