Macro of a DesigNA necklace on navy silk showing gemstone markers between silver beads

Written in your DNA

A pattern no one else can wear

A laboratory with over 25 years in genetic testing reads 23 markers from a simple cheek swab. Every marker appears as a coloured stone along the strand, in the exact order your DNA places it, with the metal beads holding the spaces between. The same reading could never come from anyone else.

Step 2. Read in the laboratory

23 STR markers are analysed in the UK by a laboratory with over 25 years in genetic testing, the same technique trusted in British courts.

The gift

For someone who could never be repeated

A name can be shared and a birthstone is shared by millions, but a DNA profile belongs to one person only. Gift the kit, they take the swab, and a few weeks later a piece that could only ever be theirs arrives in the signature box with its certificate.

How gifting works

Before you choose

Quick answers

The details buyers ask about most. The full list lives on our FAQ page.

How long until my jewellery arrives?

Your finished piece is delivered within 2 to 3 weeks of the laboratory receiving your sample, with free UK tracked delivery. The collection kit itself arrives within 2 to 3 working days of ordering.

Can I choose my stones?

Yes. You choose the stone colour for each of the five dyes the laboratory reads your DNA with. Every marker then appears as a stone in your chosen colours, placed along the strand in the exact order your DNA decides.

Is each piece genuinely one of a kind?

Yes. The design is generated from your allele profile across 23 markers, a combination written nowhere else on earth, and your numbered certificate of authenticity records the data behind it.

What metals do you offer?

Three options: 925 hallmarked sterling silver, freshwater pearl with sterling silver fittings, and 9ct gold with gold filled beads. Every piece is nickel free, and necklaces adjust from roughly 18 to 20 inches.

Is my DNA safe with you?

Your sample is handled under UK GDPR and the Human Tissue Act. Only 23 identity markers are read, never health or ancestry. The sample is destroyed after analysis and your data is deleted once your piece ships.

Can I spread the cost?

Yes. We accept all major cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay, plus Klarna and Clearpay for instalments. Every order also has a 14 day cooling off period and a 6 month craftsmanship warranty.
