About this piece

Freshwater pearls at necklace length with gold marking the sequence. It reads as a classic pearl strand until you know what the gold is doing.

The Pearl and Gold Pattern DNA Necklace strings freshwater pearls as the spaces, with 4mm gold filled spheres placed at your DNA positions. There are no coloured stones on this piece. The contrast between warm gold and pale pearl is what carries the pattern.

The sequence comes from a cheek swab, read by our partner laboratory, which has over 25 years in genetic testing. Twenty three markers identified, two values per marker, one from each parent. The gold pieces fall where your DNA puts them. 

The most traditional looking piece in the range, and the least repeatable.

Anatomy of the piece

Every stone is a position in your code

Nothing on this strand is decorative. Each coloured marker is a point the laboratory read in your DNA, and the silver between them is the space your sequence leaves. The numbered key matches the points marked on the photograph.

Pearl and Gold Pattern DNA Profile Necklace photographed flat, with each part of the piece labelled.
  1. The fitA lobster clasp and an extender chain.
  2. One markerOne position the laboratory read. They run from the smallest fragment to the largest, so the last gold marker on every piece is Penta D.
  3. The space betweenThe gap is distance. Markers sit in the order the laboratory measured them, from the smallest fragment to the largest, so the space between two stones is the run of your code between them.
  4. Gold marks the positionThere are no coloured stones here. The gold alone carries the pattern of your reading.

What you receive

Two deliveries, one piece of you

First, within 2 to 3 working days

The DNA collection kit

A sterile cheek swab, simple instructions, the signed consent form, and a prepaid return envelope. The swab takes thirty seconds against the inside of the cheek, then posts back to the laboratory in the envelope provided.

Buying as a gift? The kit is a present in its own right. Hand it over wrapped, let them take their own swab, and the finished piece becomes the second gift a few weeks later.

Questions, answered

How long does it take?

2 to 3 weeks from receipt of your sample at the lab. That covers laboratory analysis, design generation, handcraft by our partner jeweller in Birmingham, quality check, packaging, and UK delivery. Before that, the DNA collection kit reaches you in 2 to 3 working days after ordering, and the swab itself takes under a minute.

Is my DNA safe?

Yes. Your physical sample is destroyed once the laboratory analysis is complete. The resulting marker data is encrypted at rest and stored only for as long as needed to fulfil your order. After delivery, the data is deleted. We do not sell or share your data, and we do not read clinical, ancestry, or behavioural markers. You can request deletion of your data at any time.

Can I give this as a gift?

Yes. DesigNA pieces are among our most popular milestone gifts. Because the necklace is generated from the recipient's DNA, the most common gifting flow is to give the collection kit itself as the visible gift and let the recipient take their own swab and post it back. The necklace then follows as the second half of the gift. We can include a personal note inside the kit if you let us know at checkout.

What if I do not like the colours?

Every stone set piece uses our set palette of five stones, one for each dye the laboratory reads: Lapis Lazuli, Garnet, Citrine, Amethyst and Amazonite. Your DNA decides where each stone sits, so the pattern is uniquely yours before we make anything.

What exactly is in the box?

Your finished piece arrives in our signature packaging. A matte black outer box opens to your Certificate of Authenticity, then a navy sleeve, then the black jewellery box holding your necklace, laid out in a double helix. Your DNA collection kit arrives separately first, with a cheek swab, instructions, and a prepaid return envelope.
