Delivery and returns

Free UK tracked delivery on every order. Your kit is posted within 2 to 3 working days. Your finished piece is made in 2 to 3 weeks from the day the laboratory receives your swab. Swab the day your kit arrives and that usually means about 3 to 4 weeks in all. You have a 14 day cooling off period, which ends once your sample reaches the laboratory and analysis begins. Every piece carries a 6 month warranty covering craftsmanship faults, and faulty items are always covered by your statutory rights.

Track your order: every stage from kit to finished piece, explained.

The certificate

Every necklace arrives with a printed Certificate of Authenticity showing your DNA profile and your stone colour key, signed and dated. It is the proof that your piece could never exist twice.

Your DNA and privacy

Your swab is read for identity markers only, nothing clinical, nothing ancestral. The physical sample is destroyed once analysis is complete and your marker data is deleted after delivery. Handling is governed by UK GDPR and the Human Tissue Act 2004.

About this piece

Every sphere in the order your code dictates.

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.

Before you buy

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.

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.

  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.

How it works

From a cheek swab to your necklace, in three steps.

  1. 1

    Order and receive your kit

    Arrives in 2 to 3 working days. A cheek swab, instructions, and a prepaid return envelope.

  2. 2

    Take your swab and post it back

    Takes under a minute. Nothing to prepare.

  3. 3

    We make your piece

    The laboratory reads your markers and a UK jeweller handcrafts your necklace. 2 to 3 weeks from the day your sample arrives.

How it is made

Your DNA writes the design

Twenty eight seconds from cheek swab to finished strand, animated with the same formula that will place your own markers. Turn the sound on for the narration.

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.

Then, 2 to 3 weeks from sample receipt

The finished piece, in the signature box

A black outer box opens to your certificate of authenticity, then the navy sleeve, then the jewellery box with your piece laid out in a double helix curve. Every layer is part of the moment.

What arrives

Opened in the order it was made.

Every DesigNA necklace arrives in the same considered sequence: the box, your certificate, the sleeve, then the piece itself.

Giving one as a gift

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.

Is a DNA necklace a good gift for an 18th or 21st birthday?

Yes. It is a first piece of real jewellery, 925 sterling silver or 9ct gold, and it is made from the person's own profile, so it belongs to them in a way nothing bought off a shelf can. The kit can be the present they open on the day, and the piece follows a few weeks later.

What do I get for my money?

The DNA collection kit, the laboratory reading of 23 identity markers, the design generated from it, a piece hand made in the UK in 925 silver, freshwater pearl or 9ct gold with natural stone markers, a signed certificate of authenticity, the signature black box, and free UK tracked delivery for both the kit and the finished piece.
