Most people buying bridesmaid gifts are asking two things at once: what to give, and how to ask. The silver answers the first, and the card answers the second. This guide covers what the bridesmaid card looks like, which pieces it comes with, how to choose when your bridesmaids are not alike, and what you get when you order.
The card, and the piece it comes with
The bridesmaid card is a watercolour wreath of pink, purple and green flowers, with “Will you be my Bridesmaid?” beneath it. The wreath was painted in watercolour, then printed for every bottle. The necklace hangs in front of it inside the bottle, so the question is the first thing she sees when the box is opened.
The piece on the card is the Heart Necklace: a small silver heart, 8 by 9 mm, on a fine chain that adjusts from 41 to 46 cm. It comes in silver or gold-plated, and the bridesmaid card is one of its card options on the product page, so you can choose it there and add it to your bag. Gold-plated means a thin layer of gold over the silver; it looks warmer, and it will wear with time.
A different piece for each bridesmaid
Bridesmaids are rarely one type of person. One wears a chain every day, one only wears studs, one has never had her ears pierced. You do not have to give them all the same thing. Any card we hold can go with any piece in the range, at the same price, so the bridesmaid card can go with a pair of studs or a birthstone as easily as with the heart. Ask us on WhatsApp or by email before you order and say which piece you want with the card. The photographs below show each piece with the card it was shot with; the bridesmaid card would go in the bottle in its place.
For the one who wears earrings
The Heart Studs are the same heart as a 7 mm pair, for A$49. Studs are the easy choice when you are not sure of a chain length or whether she wears necklaces at all.
For the one you want to give something personal
The Birthstone Necklace carries a single semi-precious stone for her birth month, for A$59, and the Birthstone Studs are the same stone as a pair, for A$39. The Birth Flower Necklace has her month’s flower drawn on a silver oval with the stone set above it, for A$99. If you do not know her month, a bridesmaid will tell you; if you do, the stone and flower for each month are in our guide to birthstones and birth flowers by month.

Choose the card first, then the piece.
For a whole wedding party
If you are buying for a larger group, or you would like artwork of your own on the card, see gifts in quantity. We can paint a card for your occasion, and the artwork is then printed for every bottle. Email us with the occasion, how many you need and when you need them by.
What arrives, and when
Each piece arrives in a glass bottle with a cork lid, with its card, in a white ARKH gift box, so there is nothing left to wrap. An authenticity card states what the piece is and what it is made of. Everything is stamped 925 sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver. For how to check silver you buy anywhere, see how to tell real 925 silver.
Pieces are held in Melbourne and posted the next business day. Australia Post estimates 2 to 6 business days within Australia, or 1 to 2 by express. Postage within Australia is A$7.95 for the whole order, and free over A$100. Three Heart Necklaces come to A$177, so postage on them would be free.
Questions people ask
What is a good bridesmaid gift?
Something small she will wear again, given with a card that asks her. A silver necklace or a pair of studs does both, and it does not depend on the colour of her dress.
Can I give each bridesmaid a different piece?
Yes. Any card we hold can go with any piece in the range at the same price, so each bridesmaid can have the piece that suits her, all with the bridesmaid card. Message us on WhatsApp or email before you order, and say which pieces.
What does the bridesmaid card say?
It reads “Will you be my Bridesmaid?” under a watercolour wreath of flowers.
How much does a bridesmaid gift cost here?
The Heart Necklace is A$59 and the Heart Studs A$49. The Birthstone Necklace is A$59, the Birthstone Studs A$39 and the Birth Flower Necklace A$99. The card is the same price on all of them.
Can I order for a whole wedding party?
Yes. See gifts in quantity, where you can ask about a card painted for your occasion and about gifts for a group.
Is it real silver?
Yes. Every piece is stamped 925 sterling silver.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Our pages describe every piece as hypoallergenic, suiting most skin, including sensitive skin. Skin differs from person to person, so if she has reacted to jewellery before, choose silver over gold-plated.
Can she wear it every day?
Yes. It is finished to resist tarnish, and a soft cloth restores the shine. Keep it dry, and put it on after perfume.
How quickly does it arrive?
It is held in Melbourne and posted the next business day. Australia Post estimates 2 to 6 business days within Australia, or 1 to 2 by express.
