“Lightning pierces the sky, a sudden electric force, a symbol of change and raw power. It represents creativity, inspiration, clarity, and strength. Jules was diagnosed with ALS in May of 2020, and we’ve chosen to live in the present moment and maintain the momentum of life, regardless of the challenges. Changes can be disruptive, but they can also illuminate and crack your soul open. We hope this necklace reminds you of your inner strength, your ability to adapt, and the undeniable light you carry within you.”
—Maria
With every necklace sold, a portion of proceeds is donated to Bridging Voice, supporting people with ALS in finding new ways to communicate and stay connected.

Gemstone beads are genuine, high-quality semi-precious stones sourced from small businesses.
All metal components are crafted from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel. Gold styles feature an 18k gold PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish — a process that bonds gold to the metal at a molecular level for a harder, longer-lasting result than traditional plating. The finish is waterproof, scratch-resistant, and tarnish-resistant, making it perfect for everyday wear. All metals used are hypoallergenic and free of nickel, lead, and other harsh chemicals, making them a great choice for sensitive skin.
Dos:
Store in a dry place — a cloth bag or jewelry box works great.
Store separately to prevent tangling with other pieces.
Keep a polishing cloth handy to remove sweat and oils.
Don'ts:
Avoid swimming, showering, or heavy sweating while wearing your jewelry.
Don't apply lotions, oils, and perfumes before putting on your jewelry.
Keep pieces in the bathroom, steam and humidity can cause damage.
15% of profits go towards research to cure ALS

All the little things you might wonder

Every necklace sits a little differently depending on who's wearing it, and that's part of what makes jewelry so personal. Whether you're shopping for yourself or someone special, knowing your preferred length makes all the difference.
All you need is a piece of string and a ruler or measuring tape. Wrap the string around your neck, adjust until it falls right where you want it, then mark that spot and measure away.
Already have a necklace you adore the fit of? Measure that one and let it be your guide. And if something isn't quite right once it arrives, I've got you! Altru offers exchanges within 30 days of purchase so you can find the length that feels just like you. We have a extender chain that is also a great option if you're looking for a little extra flexibility. -
Nope! Make sure you’re not showering with any of your Altru Jewelry. No jewelry is
waterproof, and removing it before you shower will help make sure it lasts a long time. -
Use a microfiber cloth and a polishing paste. You can either purchase specific jewelry
cleaning products, or use a combination of baking powder and water, or simple
dishsoap for routine polishing. -
Yes, definitely! Read this blog post here about preventing tarnishing.
-
Yes, definitely! Gold filled jewelry is a great option for everyday pieces because it’s layer
of gold is thicker than gold-plated or gold vermeil jewelry, making it less likely to
tarnish over time. Just make sure you follow the jewelry care best practices with your
gold filled pieces. -
Yep! You can get an extension chain here that will extend the length of your necklace.
I love my lightening bolt necklace! I have received comments and compliments that lead to conversation about ALS. I love that I'm supporting Team High Octane.
