A necklace generated from your own DNA. Yours could never exist twice.

Length

The laboratory reads your DNA with five dye colours. We have picked a classic stone for each colour, and you can swap any of them. Every marker then appears as a stone in your chosen colours, in the exact order your DNA places it.

This is the name printed on your certificate of authenticity. It is checked against the signed consent form that comes with your kit.

  • Free UK tracked delivery
  • Certificate of authenticity included
  • Made in the UK
  • 2 to 3 weeks from sample receipt

Delivery and returns

Free UK tracked delivery on every order. Your finished piece arrives within about three weeks of ordering. 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.

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.

How it works

  • 1. Order and receive your kit

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

  • 2. Take your swab and post it back

    Takes under a minute. Nothing to prepare.

  • 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.

A simple cheek swab is read by our partner laboratory, with over 25 years in genetic testing, and your profile becomes the design. Each of your 23 markers carries two values, and every value takes its own position along the strand, decided by your DNA. Around 30 marker beads, in an arrangement that could never come from anyone else.

The Silver Bead Gold Accent DNA Necklace strings polished 5mm silver beads with your faceted gemstone markers, warmed with gold accents at the spacers and clasp.

The laboratory reads your DNA with five dye colours, and you choose the stone for each colour. Every marker then appears as a coloured stone along the strand, in the exact order your DNA places it, with the beads holding the spaces between.

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 my colours?

You choose the colours before we make anything. One stone for each of the five dyes the laboratory reads your DNA against, picked from the palette on this page. The colours are your choice. The order they follow comes from your DNA.

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.
