Buying for someone special? Our products come wrapped together in tissue as standard. This is to reduce packaging waste and keep prices low by not including the cost of packaging in our prices, but we appreciate the need for it when giving as a gift.
A box or organza bag is available for a small extra fee. We don’t make any profit on the price of our gift packaging, it is simply there as an option for gifters.
If you have any specific packaging requests, for example you’d like something boxed as a set, pop a note in the comments box at checkout or email us at sales@essentialjewellery.com.
Surgical Steel Care:
Fill a small bowl with warm water and a couple of drops of mild soap. Soak your jewellery in the water for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly with clean water. Dry the jewellery with a soft cloth. We recommend cleaning your jewellery with isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) before applying to your piercing.
gifting made easy
Buying for someone special?
Our jewellery does not come in a box as standard for two reasons. First, this allows us to offer the most competitive pricing by removing the hidden cost of packaging. Second, it reduces unnecessary waste by avoiding extra packaging for self-purchases. However, we do offer gift boxes or a travel pouch for a small additional cost to make your gift feel extra special.
