Genoklenot® — jewellery made from your DNA

The luxury jewellery of the 21st century, handmade from the finest materials according to a unique set of instructions — the genetic information contained in your DNA.

You help shape how the piece looks by choosing its type and colours — and above all through your own DNA.

The family jewel, reimagined

Family jewellery has been with us since time immemorial. A locket from your mother, a brooch from your grandmother, a pendant with a photograph of your children… But what should a family jewel look like in a modern conception?

Exactly like one of our Genoklenots. Genoklenot® is the luxury jewellery of the 21st century, handmade from the finest materials according to a unique set of instructions — the genetic information contained in DNA.

How exactly do we encode DNA into a Genoklenot?

In our laboratory we analyse 14 selected stretches of DNA — known as DNA markers — on various chromosomes. The combination of values found for these markers is unique to every person.

We then encode that combination into a piece of jewellery using a specific algorithm developed in our laboratory. The uniqueness of every DNA is reflected in the positions of the coloured crystals in the Genoklenot.

But the lead designer of your Genoklenot is you. You help shape the final look of the piece not only by choosing its type (helix or chips) and its colours, but above all by supplying the unique DNA from which we make your Genoklenot.

What inspired us when creating the design?

Above all it was the DNA molecule itself — the founder of genetics and the bearer of all our unique characteristics. One of the two Genoklenot collections — Genoklenot Krystal — is made in its shape, the double helix.

The second collection is a counterpart to the Genoportrét — once again the inspiration came from the output of the most commonly used method of genetic analysis, gel electrophoresis. Coloured crystals are set precisely on a rectangular base in exactly defined positions following the template of your genetic code. And so Genoklenot DNA čip came into being.

Two Genoklenot® collections

One draws on the shape of the DNA molecule, the other on laboratory practice.

Krystal

A union of the elegant shape of the DNA double helix itself, your unique genetic code and the energy of natural stones. Besides the uniqueness this bracelet carries thanks to your inimitable genetic information, the combination of natural stones brings its wearer joy and energy (amethyst, rose quartz, rhodochrosite), motivation (pyrite, angelite, lapis lazuli), luck (green aventurine, malachite, citrine) or stability and protection (labradorite, black tourmaline, amethyst) — it depends on your choice.

DNA čip

This collection combines the luxury and elegance of silver with Preciosa crystals placed in the exact positions corresponding to your unique genetic code — just as in the output of one of the analytical methods we use, electrophoresis. This piece attracts attention and curiosity, best of all as a necklace and bracelet together. You can encode up to five people in it at once — all those closest to you, for example.

What you receive

A piece of jewellery you understand — and that nobody else in the world has.

Handmade

Every Genoklenot® is made by hand from the finest materials — following the unique set of instructions you carry in your DNA.

A certificate with your piece

With your Genoklenot you receive a certificate telling its story, with the values of your markers and a diagram showing where they sit in the piece. You will find your way around your Genoklenot with ease.

1 to 5 people in a single piece

Depending on the type of piece, a Genoklenot® can be made from the DNA of one to five people (the DNA čip bracelet + necklace set).
