Anniversary gifts

Made from the person you chose.

A DNA jewellery anniversary gift carries the pattern of your partner's own profile, strung in silver, pearl or 9ct gold. Give one piece made from them, or order two in the same order, one from each of you, and wear the pair.

Why an anniversary

Two profiles, two pieces, one order.

Order two pieces in the same order and the second is half price. One kit comes for each of you, you each take your own swab, and two different patterns come back: the same metal, the same stones, and two strands that could never be swapped. A pearl necklace for her and a silver and gold bracelet for him is the pair we see most.

How DesigNA works

What makes it the gift

Three reasons it suits anniversaries.

  • Why DesigNA

    Made from them

    A reading of your partner's 23 identity markers sets the order of every stone. It is them, not a symbol of them.

  • Why DesigNA

    A pair, half price

    Two pieces in one order and the second is half price. One from each of you, matched in metal, different in pattern.

  • Why DesigNA

    Certified

    Every piece arrives with a signed certificate that records the profile, the name and the date.

    The science

How it works as a gift

Two moments, not one.

  1. 1

    Choose one piece or a pair

    Add two pieces to one order and the second is half price. Each person gets their own kit.

  2. 2

    Swab at home

    Each of you takes your own cheek swab, signs your own form and posts it back in the prepaid envelope.

  3. 3

    Wear the pair

    Made in 2 to 3 weeks from the day the laboratory has the swabs, each with its own signed certificate.

  • Twisted Pearl and Gold DNA Profile Bracelet worn on the wrist
  • Spider Silver and Gold DNA Profile Bracelet held up to the light
  • Three DNA Profile Bracelets laid on the gold DesigNA box lid

Before you buy

Anniversaries questions, answered.

Can we have matching anniversary pieces made from both of us?

Yes. Order two pieces in the same order, one for each of you, and the second is half price. Each of you gets a kit and takes your own swab, so the two patterns differ, which is the point. Two kits, two profiles, two certificates.

Which metal suits which anniversary?

Silver suits the early years and a first real piece. Pearl is the traditional thirtieth. Gold marks the fiftieth, and the Gold DNA Profile Necklace at £699 is made for it. There is no rule, and most people choose what their partner already wears.

Can I order it in time for the date?

Allow about 3 to 4 weeks for a finished piece. If the date is closer, the kit is still the gift on the day, with the piece following. The gift card from £50 covers it when there is no time at all.

Is it the same science as a paternity test?

The same kind of analysis, Short Tandem Repeat profiling, read by a UK laboratory with over 25 years in genetic testing. The piece is decorative and carries no legal standing. It reads identity markers only, never health or ancestry.

What is a good anniversary gift for my wife?

The Pearl DNA Profile Necklace at £275 is the anniversary piece we gift most: freshwater pearls with her own DNA markers set between them as natural stones, finished in sterling silver. For a bigger anniversary, the Gold DNA Profile Necklace at £699 sets the same reading in 9ct hallmarked gold.

What is a good anniversary gift for my husband?

A bracelet made from his own profile. The Twisted Silver and Gold DNA Profile Bracelet at £229 is two strands of silver with gold markers, wound into a rope, and the Spider Silver and Gold DNA Profile Bracelet at £199 is finer and adjusts with a slider. Neither carries stones, so they read as a pattern, and the pattern is him.

What is a unique anniversary gift that is not flowers or a weekend away?

Jewellery made from your partner's DNA. A UK laboratory reads 23 identity markers from a cheek swab and a jeweller strings them as stones in the order the profile sets. It is the one anniversary gift that is literally them. Browse DNA necklaces from £249 and DNA bracelets from £179.

What are the traditional anniversary gifts and does DesigNA fit them?

Pearl is the traditional thirtieth anniversary gift, and the Pearl DNA Profile Necklace fits it exactly. Gold is the fiftieth, and the Gold DNA Profile Necklace is the piece for it. Silver is the twenty fifth, where the Silver DNA Profile Necklace at £249 fits. For any year in between, most people choose the metal their partner already wears.

Can we have matching anniversary jewellery?

Yes. Order two pieces in one order and the second is half price. Each of you gets a kit and takes your own swab, so the two pieces match in metal and differ in pattern. A Pearl DNA Profile Necklace and a Twisted Silver and Gold DNA Profile Bracelet is the pair we see most.

What should I write on the card for a DNA jewellery anniversary gift?

Something short, because the certificate does the explaining. Many people write a line like "made from you, for me to keep" and let the box do the rest. The certificate inside records the profile, the date and the name, so the piece carries its own story. See the gift page for how the box is laid out.

Can I give it as a surprise?

You can surprise them with the kit, not with the swab. An adult's DNA is analysed only with their own consent, so the person who will wear the piece takes their own swab. Most people find the reveal works better anyway: the kit is the moment, and the piece arrives a few weeks later as a second one.

What if I do not know their size?

Nothing is lost if you guess. Necklaces come in 16, 18 or 20 inches and every one carries a 2 inch extender, and every bracelet adjusts on the wrist with an extender chain or a slider.

Does the price include everything?

Yes. The price of the piece covers the kit, the laboratory work, the making, the signed certificate, the box and free UK tracked delivery for both parcels. There is nothing to add at checkout.

For someone unrepeatable

Give the anniversary piece only they could wear.

Pearl from £275. Gold from £699. Add a second piece in the same order and it is half price.
