7 Reasons People Can't Stop Wearing This Secret-Message Necklace
A dainty gold necklace that spells a private message in Morse code: a name, a date, a word only you and one other person understand. To everyone else, it reads as a simple, pretty chain.
Over 140,000 people wear Tulas, and this one necklace has already sold more than 30,000 times.
Most jewelry is just decoration. This one is a message. A row of small and large beads spells a name, a date, or a word that matters, and only you can read it. Here's why it works, and why the people who buy one rarely take it off.
1. It Says Something Only You Can Read
The message is spelled in Morse code, a line of small and large beads sitting on a thin gold chain. To everyone else it looks like a pretty necklace. To you it says a name, a date, or one word that means everything.
Mine spells my son's name. I have worn it every day for months and not one person has guessed what it says, which is the whole reason I love it. A name necklace tells the entire room your business. This tells only me.
That is the part I did not expect. Something this personal sits right there in plain sight, and it still stays completely private.
“I have never been so pleased with a piece of jewelry. It is a message only I know the meaning of. I do not have to explain it to anyone, I can keep the secret or share it with someone special, and the quality is genuinely beautiful.”

2. It Actually Means Something
This is where it stops being jewelry. You can spell a partner's name, a wedding date, a child's initials, or the name of someone you have lost and want to keep close.
Some people wear the date everything changed for them. Some wear a word they need to see on the hard days. It carries the kind of meaning a plain gold chain never will.
Mine spells the words my grandmother used to say to me. It sounds small, but catching it in the mirror still stops me for a second, every time.
A name · a date · a word · someone you love
“I bought one for my daughter, my mom, my sister and myself after we lost my daughter. We each chose a different color and they are all beautiful. Mine has her name and her dates on it. It is our little secret, and it is my favorite thing I own.”

3. You Decide Exactly What It Says
You send the word, name, or date, and each piece gets translated into Morse code and beaded by hand. You get up to 22 letters, so there is room for a full name or a short phrase.
A little card comes in the box that shows what the beads spell, so whoever you give it to can read the code themselves. It feels less like buying jewelry and more like writing someone a note they can wear.
I put my kids' initials on mine in the order they were born. Nobody else would ever know, and I think about them every time I catch it in the mirror.
“I love that whatever you put on it, it is personal. Only you and the person you tell will ever know what it says. It made me emotional at first, and now I have it on my neck every single day.”

4. It Hides in Plain Sight
The design is small and dainty on purpose. It sits close to the collarbone, layers easily with other chains, and goes with a t-shirt or a dress without trying too hard.
That is the trick of it. Something this meaningful looks completely low-key, so you can wear it to work, to the gym, or to dinner, and it always looks right.
“I can carry my husband's name with me everywhere, but to everyone else it just looks like a beautiful, simple necklace. It has become my everyday piece and I never take it off.”

5. It Survives Real Life
You do not have to baby it. It is waterproof and sweatproof, so it stays on in the shower, at the beach, and through a workout.
It is hypoallergenic and nickel and lead free, so it will not turn your skin green or bother sensitive skin. It also carries a lifetime color warranty, so if it ever loses its gold tone, Tulas replaces it.
This is a piece you put on and simply live in, day and night, the way you would a wedding ring.
“The quality is impeccable. It is very nice material, and I wear it constantly, in the shower and at the pool, and it still looks brand new.”

6. It Fits Anyone, in Any Color
The chain adjusts from 16 to 22 inches with a slider clasp, so you can wear it high on its own or long under a few other chains.
It comes in gold, silver, and rose gold, so it matches whatever you already wear. Nothing clashes with it, and nothing about it ends up forgotten in a drawer.
It slips into your everyday so easily that it stops being something you save for occasions and becomes something you just leave on.
“Mine came in gold with my grandson's name on it and I fell in love. I love that you can change the length, and I have already gotten so many compliments on it.”

7. It's Handmade, and It's Only $36
Each one is made to order by hand in Florida, not stamped out in a factory, and right now it is $36 instead of $72.
Order two and the third is free, so most people grab a spare in another color. Shipping is free worldwide and every piece is covered by a lifetime warranty.
It arrives in a soft Tulas cotton pouch with a card that decodes the message, so the meaning is spelled out the moment you open it.
“Received my necklaces and they are beautiful. I gave one to my boyfriend and kept one for myself, and I will be ordering more as gifts. Best money I have spent on jewelry.”
