About this piece
A lobster clasp and a length of very small pearls. There is nothing clever about the fastening and that is deliberate: it opens, it closes, it sits flat. The interest is all in the strand.
The Pearl Clasp Bracelet is a single line of round freshwater pearls, around 2mm, with faceted gemstone markers cut to the same size. No metal spheres interrupt it anywhere, so pearl runs into stone and back into pearl without a break. It fastens with a lobster clasp and an extension chain, which means you can wear it close or let it move.
The sequence comes from a cheek swab. Our partner laboratory, which has over 25 years in genetic testing, reads twenty three markers from it, each one detected by one of five fluorescent dyes. On this bracelet every dye is given a fine 2mm stone: Turquoise for blue, Carnelian for red, Citrine for yellow, Amethyst for purple and Amazonite for green. The stones then fall along the strand in the order your own profile sets, with the pearls filling the spaces between.
Small enough to layer, particular enough that it could only ever have been made for one person.

- The fitA lobster clasp. It opens, it closes, it sits flat.
- Colour is the dyeFive fluorescent dyes read your markers, and each dye has its own stone in our set palette. Every colour on this strand is one of the five.
- 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.
- One markerOne position the laboratory read. They run from the smallest fragment to the largest, which is why the last marker on every piece is Penta D, set in amethyst.

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
