ALS Network - Blue Cornflower Necklace
Inspired by Brooke Eby, supporting ALS Network.
$5 from every necklace will go to ALS Network, a community who's mission is to drive the discovery of prevention strategies, treatments, and cures for ALS. They strive to provide access to quality care and connection, promote initiatives to improve health outcomes, all while partnering with ALS community.
ALS Network also has partnered with Brooke Eby to maintain and support ALSTogether, a slack community that Brooke founded a few years ago.
The blue cornflower is the international symbol of hope and courage for ALS, and has long stood for this community and for people finding each other and holding on together.
It's a full circle moment for me in a smaller way too: years ago, when Brooke and I first connected over Instagram, she bought a pair of earrings from me. They were little white beads with blue flowers. This charm carries that same design forward.
Each 18k gold PVD charm comes on a 16" chain with a 2" extension.
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

Love Notes
Hey, I’m Selena, your go-to jewelry maker for compassionate babes.
I’ve always known I was an artist. What can I say? I spent more time at the craft table than the playground as a kid.
Though my formal education involved getting a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts, I’ve been drawing, painting, and making things ever since I was a little girl.
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.
