DNA ring | sterling silver
A ring sits where she sees it all day, which makes a DNA ring a small, private reminder of what she loves. Give it to someone who has been dropping hints for a while, or keep it for yourself, if the double helix is the reason you chose your field.
Who It's For
- a daughter who has asked for one, for Christmas or her birthday
- a girlfriend or partner, for Valentine's Day or an anniversary
- a niece or granddaughter graduating in science
- a colleague in genetics or molecular biology
- yourself, as a daily reminder of why you love science
Caron B. gave it to her daughter: “It looks beautiful and elegant, and not too thick for her finger. Those in the know will definitely spot that it's DNA.” Rachael A. wears her own: “Beautiful ring, well designed, subtle enough to wear during the day but still shiny enough to show off!”
The Science Behind DNA
DNA is written in four chemical letters, A, C, G and T, and the same four letters carry the genes of bacteria, oak trees and people. One copy of the human genome runs to about 3 billion letters. Compare the DNA of any two people and a single letter differs roughly once every 1,300 letters. Add the longer stretches that are missing, doubled or rearranged, and the two genomes match about 99.6 per cent. That small share still adds up to millions of differences, and no two people carry exactly the same DNA, not even identical twins.

FAQ
Which size should I order?
It comes in US sizes 5 to 9, about EU 49 to 60. The surest way is to measure the inside of a ring she wears on the same finger and match it to a size chart. If she is between two sizes, take the smaller one: a slender band is more comfortable snug than loose. If it doesn't fit, return it unworn within 30 days for a refund and order the right size, or write to us before ordering at support@sciencejewelry1824.shop. It is 925 sterling silver, nickel-free and hypoallergenic.
Is there a gold version, or a sturdier DNA ring?
Yes. The same DNA ring comes in 9K solid yellow gold, also in US sizes 5 to 9. Choose the metal she already wears: the design is identical in both. For a band with more metal in it, the engraved DNA ring is a solid flat band in sterling silver. There is also a crossed DNA ring in silver, and DNA necklaces to wear alongside either.
Is it strong enough to wear every day?
Yes, with a little care. It is a slender openwork band, so treat it as fine jewelry. Take it off for the gym, gardening and heavy lifting, and avoid squeezing it. Soap and hand cream can collect between the two strands: rinse it under warm water and brush it gently with a soft toothbrush. Store it dry, apart from other pieces.
Is delivery free, and what if it isn't right?
Yes. DHL Express delivers free in 1-5 business days worldwide, and we pay the import duties and taxes, so nothing is due at the door. It arrives in a ready-to-gift jewelry box and festive envelope. If it isn't right, our 30-day “Love It or Return It” policy applies.
How did scientists learn that genes are made of DNA?
In 1928 Frederick Griffith found that harmless pneumonia bacteria turned deadly in mice when mixed with heat-killed deadly ones, as if something had passed between them. At the Rockefeller Institute in New York, Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod and Maclyn McCarty spent years purifying that something. In 1944, when Avery was 66, they showed it was DNA, when most scientists still expected genes to be made of protein. Avery was nominated for the Nobel Prize for decades but never received it.
