The collection
Written in your DNA. Set in silver, pearl or gold.
You choose the metal. Your DNA decides where every stone sits.
How your DNA becomes stones
A laboratory reads your profile. We set it in stone.
Your cheek swab goes to a UK laboratory with over 25 years in genetic testing. It reads your DNA profile as a series of peaks, each in one of five dye colours. Every marker becomes a coloured stone along the chain, in the exact order your DNA places them, with the metal spheres holding the spaces between.

Before you buy
The questions people ask before they give one.
What is the most meaningful personalised jewellery I can buy for my partner?
A piece made from their own DNA. Engraving, initials and birthstones describe someone from the outside. A DesigNA piece is built from the code that makes them who they are, so it is personal at the level of the design rather than a message added afterwards. The Silver DNA Profile Necklace is £249 and the Pearl is £275, bracelets start at £179, and every piece arrives with a signed certificate of authenticity. One swab each makes two visibly different pieces for a couple.
What are some truly unique anniversary jewellery gifts for her?
The most unique anniversary gift is one that could only ever be hers. A DesigNA necklace or bracelet is made from her DNA and could not be produced for anyone else, so it marks the person rather than the year. The Pearl DNA Profile Necklace at £275 is the piece we would suggest first, and the bracelet range from £179 suits a smaller gesture. Swab early and the whole thing usually takes about three to four weeks.
What is a good one of a kind gift that is not engraved?
DesigNA jewellery carries no engraving at all. The personalisation is the pattern itself: the sequence of stones and spacers is set by the wearer's genetic profile, so nothing is written on the piece and nothing can be copied by reading it. If you want something personal that does not spell out a name, date or initial, this is the alternative.
What are the best DNA gifts in the UK?
DesigNA pieces are one of a kind by construction rather than by limited edition. Each is generated from a single person's DNA, hand made in the UK, and certified against the profile it came from, so two pieces are never the same. Necklaces run from £249 to £299 and £699 in 9ct gold, bracelets from £179, and the DNA Representation Pendant is £80 for gifting without a swab.
Can I buy a DNA necklace as a surprise?
You can surprise someone with the kit, not with the swab. An adult's DNA is analysed only with their own consent, so the swab has to be taken by the person wearing the piece. Most people give the kit as the visible gift, open it together, and the finished piece arrives a few weeks later as the second half.
How far ahead do I need to order for a birthday or Christmas?
Two parts are fixed: 2 to 3 working days for the kit to reach you, then 2 to 3 weeks of making from the day the laboratory has the swab. In between is however long the swab takes to come back, so swab early and it is usually about three to four weeks in all. For Christmas 2026 the order by date is Sunday 15 November. After that, give the kit on the day and let the piece follow.
