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. 

Sterling Silver Care:
To keep this item in best condition when it is not being worn: store away from air, preferably in a plastic bag or wrapped in acid free tissue. Should a surface layer of tarnish appear, simply polish off using an ESSENTIAL polishing cloth. For a deeper clean, soak the piece in warm water and mild soap for a few minutes before wiping dry with a soft cloth. Ensure all soap product is rinsed off thoroughly to avoid any residue being left on the silver. Avoid contact with chemicals such as household cleaning products. Ensure any body lotions/perfume are fully absorbed by the skin before wearing jewellery. Sterling silver jewellery should not be worn in chlorinated water. Silver should not be subjected to sudden changes in heat and so we do not recommend wearing your jewellery in Jacuzzis, saunas or steam rooms.

Gemstone Care:
To keep your cubic zirconia jewellery clean and sparkling, wash your jewellery with warm water and a mild soap. Use a soft bristled toothbrush to get in all the nooks and crannies. Make sure to thoroughly wash off all soap with clean water to avoid any residue being left which could make your cubic zirconia look cloudy. Do not soak any glue set stones as this can compromise the setting. For glue set stones, wipe the stone clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before storing.

To clean your opal jewellery, dampen a soft cloth with room temperature water and wipe away any surface oil or dirt, mild soap can be used. Opal should not be exposed to any sudden changes in heat as this can damage the stone. For this reason, we do not recommend wearing your opal jewellery in the shower or jacuzzi. Keep opal away from chemicals such as cleaning products and chlorine. Ultrasonic and steam cleaners are not appropriate for opal and are likely to damage the stone.
