Hidden Message Necklaces for Daughter: Engraved Gifts Explained

How our engraved hidden message necklaces work - a heart and a secret bar that open to reveal words from Mom or Dad.

Some messages are meant for one person only. A hidden message necklace looks like a simple, pretty pendant to everyone else - but it opens to reveal a message from Mom or Dad that only she knows is there. Here's how our engraved hidden message necklaces work, and which one to choose.

How engraved necklaces are different

Our message card necklaces come with their message printed on a keepsake card. Engraved necklaces carry the words on the piece itself, laser engraved so they won't fade or rub off. They're made from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel - durable and tarnish-resistant - and arrive in a white gift box.

Hidden heart or secret bar?

The hidden message heart is a statement pendant, about an inch across, with a little ceremony to opening it - perfect for a big moment like a wedding or graduation. The secret message bar is slimmer and more understated, the kind of necklace she can wear every day and slide open when she needs it. Both come on a 16 inch chain with a 2 inch extender.

About Engraved Jewelry from Dear Daughter Jewelry

“What is a hidden message necklace?”

A pendant with a message engraved inside it, that only shows when it's opened or slid apart. To everyone else it looks like a simple heart or bar.

“Can I choose my own engraving?”

No. Each necklace is engraved with the message shown in the photos and product details, so there's nothing to type and nothing to get wrong.

“Can she wear it in water?”

It's best not to. The stainless steel is tarnish-resistant, but taking jewelry off before swimming and showering keeps any gold finish looking its best for longer.

“How long does engraving take?”

Each piece is engraved to order in the USA in 2-4 business days, then delivery usually takes 2-5 business days.

  • Message already written
  • Made in 2-5 business days, shipped from the USA
  • Gift-boxed and ready to give
  • A Dear Daughter message card
