Unique Mothers Day Gifts: Real DNA Jewelry Custom-Made To Keep Loved Ones Close

May 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Davis, CA -- Searching for unique Mother's Day gifts? Perpetua Life Jewels™ real DNA jewelry (http://www.Perpetua.us/) is custom made with loved ones' DNA – sons, daughters, husbands, grandchildren or pets.  Dr. Joy Halverson – a world-leader in animal DNA research -- created this elegant line of one-of-a-kind necklaces, pendants and bracelets as remembrances of the special relationships they represent.

When Dr. Halverson lost her beloved dog Dustin in 2004, she decided to find a way to memorialize his DNA. She invented a way to create and preserve a beautiful and visible double helix strand -- and the first piece in the Perpetua DNA jewelry line was born.

Perpetua Life Jewels™ DNA jewelry design is based on the famous double-helix pattern and uses real DNA strands.  Each piece of custom keepsake jewelry contains the individual "genetic fingerprint" of a beloved relative, friend or pet.

In the Life Jewel process, the loved one's DNA is used and combines with a luminescent pigment in one of several color choices.  It forms a smooth ribbon as it winds around in the groove of the wire helix to create a unique piece of custom art.  

"We transform your loved ones' DNA into a rare jewel," says Dr. Joy Halverson, inventor of Perpetua Life Jewels™ and CEO of Zoogen, the leading provider of DNA services for companion animals.  "It celebrates your loved ones' uniqueness and express the depth of your connection."

The necklace, pendant and bracelet designs are available in a variety of sterling silver, gold-plate and 14k gold settings, combined with the helix in a choice of gold, silver, pearl or numerous jewel-tone colors.

In addition to cats, dogs and people, Life Jewels customers have ordered pendants to memorialize their beloved horses, ferrets, birds and reptiles.  Custom DNA remembrance jewelry is available for all creatures.
