Frequently asked questions

In the Essentialistics wholesale webshop, we only sell to businesses. If you have a unique company number and VAT number, you can request an account. If there is not yet a point of sale with exclusivity nearby, then your account will be approved within 1-2 days.

Are you a private customer? Then you can shop at one of our points of sale.

Press the figure at the top right of our website and then choose "sign up". Fill in all your details on the registration form and check these details carefully. If everything is correct and complete, then you can submit the form.

Once your application has been received by us, it will be assessed within 1-2 working days. If all details are correct and we do not yet have a point of sale with exclusivity nearby, your account will be approved.

After you have created an account, we will check your request. In most cases, this happens within one working day. If everything is correct and we do not yet have a point of sale with exclusivity nearby, you will receive an e-mail from us after which you can log in to our website. All prices are now visible and you can manage your account details via your account.

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.

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.

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.
