Your jewelry will be packaged in a beautiful black clamshell style jewelry box and/or a micro fibre jewelry pouch with the Orange Avocado Jewelry logo embossed on both with a zip loc baggie to reduce tarnishing.

It is recommended that you receive your order in at least the pouch to protect it from the shipping process.
