Can I wear my emerald ring everyday?

Emeralds can be worn every day, however, they are considerably softer than diamonds scoring on average 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale. It is advisable to refrain from handling the ring roughly as it can be chipped or scratched. The ring can be cleaned gently in soapy water every so often.
