After you have created an account, we will check your request. In most cases, this happens within one working day.

Before you can place an order at our online wholesale shop, you must first log in with your business account. Do you not have an account yet? You can request one here.

You place the desired item in your digital shopping cart via the "add to cart" button. Are you done shopping? Then click on the shopping cart at the top right. You will then see an overview of your order. Check your details and change them if necessary. Finally, choose the desired shipping and payment method and complete your order. After payment, you will receive a confirmation of your order by e-mail.

You will receive an order confirmation immediately after placing your order. Did you not receive an e-mail? Please check your unwanted mail (spam) first. If you have not received an e-mail, something may have gone wrong. Please contact our customer service at +31(0)628522363 or hello@essentialistics.com.

Unfortunately, our system cannot make changes to orders once they have been placed. We would therefore like to emphasize that you should always check whether you have entered the correct personal details before finalizing your order.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to change or cancel an order. This means that it is important that you always check your order carefully before finalizing your order.

We offer exclusivity for our physical points of sale if you buy directly from us (so not via a wholesale platform such as Ankorstore or Orderchamp). If you want exclusivity, you are obliged to purchase (part of) the new collection each season (per half year) with a total value of €500 excl. VAT. Depending on the size of the city/village and the number of inhabitants (and if relevant tourists), you will get exclusivity for (a part of) a certain city/village.

Webshops and physical points of sale that you can only visit by appointment (such as beauty salons and hairdressers) are excluded from exclusivity.

If you do not meet the minimum order value for exclusivity for a season, the exclusivity will automatically expire.

The minimum order value for a first order is €250 excl. VAT. The minimum order value for repeat orders is €100 excl. VAT.

This is possible. You can visit our showroom to view our current collection. We can also visit your store with the collection if you are located in the Netherlands.

We are sorry that you received a damaged or broken item! In that case, we ask you to contact our customer service by text or e-mail. Send a text to +31(0)628522363 or an e-mail to hello@essentialistics.com. Please include your order number and a photo of the damaged or broken item.

Your package may have been delayed by the carrier. We therefore advise you to first view the track and trace code that you received by e-mail. This indicates the status of the delivery.

During holidays and promotions, it is often busier than usual at Essentialistics and PostNL. Despite this, we always do everything we can to process your package as quickly as possible. However, keep in mind that your order may arrive a little later than you are used to from us. Keep a close eye on the track and trace code for the most up-to-date delivery information.

Essentialistics jewellery is made of stainless steel. 

This material has an endless list of benefits. The jewellery does not discolour and is waterproof. The jewellery is also nickel free and hypoallergenic. As a result, the chance of an allergic reaction is extremely small. Furthermore, this material is very light, making jewellery made of this material comfortable to wear and the material does not scratch easily. Stainless steel is also very environmentally friendly because it is 100% recyclable and the energy used and wasted during the process is considerably less than with other metals used for jewellery.

Our jewellery does not discolour, not even in contact with water. This applies to both our silver- and gold-coloured jewellery.

All our jewellery is nickel free and hypoallergenic.

Although the jewellery does not discolour, the jewellery will stay beautiful for the longest time if you follow the following tips:

• Take off your jewellery when you go to sleep, shower, swim, or exercise. Water, moisture, and perspiration can dull your jewellery.
• Always allow perfume, body lotion, hair spray, sunscreen, or other care products to absorb well before putting on your jewellery, so that they do not become dull.
• Be careful with cleaning products and chlorinated water. These can dull your jewellery.
• Do not wear your jewellery during intensive work. This way, you prevent unnecessary damage and scratches.
• Store your jewellery in a dark place when you are not wearing a particular item. Preferably in a bag or box, so that the air cannot affect it.
• Store your jewellery separately from each other. This way, the jewellery cannot damage each other and you also prevent chains from getting tangled.
• Always close your jewellery, such as a necklace, before storing it. This will prevent scratches and the jewellery from getting entangled with itself.

Stones and pearls are natural products, so the sizes and colours may vary. The stones and pearls can become dull or discolour due to long exposure to light or water. So pay close attention to this.

The candles are made of sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. We work with renewable stearin consisting of animal fat residues from the food industry and vegan soy wax made from natural soybeans. The wicks are made of lead free pure cotton.

Jewellery

Our jewellery has a warranty period of 6 months. This does not mean that the jewellery will discolour once the 6-month period has passed. However, we can no longer offer a warranty after this period because certain substances can affect the colour of the jewellery, such as aggressive cleaning products. In addition, the jewellery can get damaged through use. We therefore recommend that you follow our tips to enjoy your jewellery for as long as possible.

Other items

All other items have a warranty period of 1 month.

If a piece of jewellery is broken or damaged and falls within the 6-month warranty period, then you can contact our customer service. Send a text to +31(0)628522363 or e-mail to hello@essentialistics.com. Please include your order number and a photo of the broken/damaged item.

Have you bought something at one of our points of sale? In that case, the warranty will pass via the relevant point of sale.

If the warranty period has expired, we unfortunately cannot help you further.

This differs per product. If you want to be kept informed about new stock, we recommend that you sign up for a "notify me of new stock" notification. You can sign up for this on the product page of a sold out product. You will receive an e-mail from us as soon as the item is back in stock. You can always unsubscribe from this if you are no longer interested in the product.

You can always find the recommended retail price on the product page of the product in question.

The margin on our items is x2.5 if you follow our recommended retail prices.

Our jewellery is made all around the world and our candles are made in Europe. With the help of our intermediary, we always ensure that the jewellery and candles comply with European quality and regulations.
