A considered thank you, made from them.

Yes. It is a soft swab rubbed inside the cheek for about a minute, then sealed and posted in the prepaid envelope. There is no needle, no appointment and nothing to do online. Family can post it for them, but the swab is always their own.

No. An adult's DNA is analysed only with their own consent, so they take the swab themselves and sign the form. You can order the piece, give the kit, help them open it and post it back.

No. The laboratory reads 23 identity markers, the same kind used in identity testing, and nothing else. There is no health, ancestry or medical information in the reading, and the sample is destroyed after profiling.

Yes. Each person needs their own kit, and pieces ordered together get the second half price. The patterns differ because the profiles differ, which is exactly why families like the pair.

Something made from her. The Pearl DNA Profile Necklace at £275 sets her own DNA markers between freshwater pearls, and it comes with a certificate in her name. A grandmother who has every scarf and every photo frame does not have this. The Pearl Clasp DNA Profile Bracelet at £199 is the lighter option.

The Twisted Silver DNA Profile Bracelet at £229, two strands of 925 silver wound into a rope with natural stones, or the Twisted Silver and Gold DNA Profile Bracelet with gold markers and no stones for a man who wears nothing else. Both are made from his own profile and arrive boxed with the certificate.

A piece made from the grandparent's own DNA, which is the pattern the grandchildren inherited half of. Children can put money towards it, and the DesigNA gift card from £50 lets each grandchild give a card. The grandparent then takes the swab themselves and chooses the piece. Browse the full collection.

Yes. It is a soft swab rubbed inside the cheek for about a minute, with no needle and no appointment. Family can help with the envelope, but the swab is always their own, with their own consent, because that is what the law requires. Read more at how DesigNA works.

No. The laboratory reads 23 identity markers, the same kind of reading used for identity testing, and nothing else. There is no health, ancestry or medical content in the profile, the sample is destroyed after profiling, and the marker data is deleted after the piece arrives. See your DNA and privacy.

Yes. Each person needs their own kit, and the second piece in one order is half price. A child's piece needs written consent from a parent or guardian with parental responsibility. The two patterns differ, because the profiles differ, and anyone who knows what they are looking at can see the family in them.

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.

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.

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.
