A flash of sterling silver and luminous Mother of Pearl — the 13-Point Lightning Bolt rendered with precision, movement, and quiet intensity, designed to catch light and carry its charge with understated elegance.

This design balances structure and softness: the crisp geometry of the 13-Point Lightning Bolt is rendered in solid sterling silver, while natural Mother of Pearl introduces organic light and nuance. Finished with sterling silver French wires for comfortable, everyday wear, and stamped with the official GDP mark.

Meaning

The 13-Point Lightning Bolt represents energy, motion, and the charged visual language of the Grateful Dead. Paired with Mother of Pearl, the symbol reads less like ornament and more like a personal signal — quiet, luminous, and unmistakable.

How it’s worn

Worn as a clean, graphic drop — styled best with pulled-back hair, open collars, and minimal layering. The Mother of Pearl catches light with movement, so the simplest styling often looks the most intentional.

All Cynthia Gale products involve handmade elements in the production process.  As a result, ring measurements may differ slightly from one item to another.  Each ring is sized according to its unique design features.  For example, some rings are designed to fit more tightly while others will have a looser fit.

Color

A refined drop silhouette built around one of the Grateful Dead’s most iconic marks: the 13-Point Lightning Bolt.

These earrings pair solid .925 sterling silver with luminous natural Mother of Pearl (MOP), creating a subtle contrast between sculpted metalwork and iridescent organic material. Finished with sterling silver French wires for comfortable, everyday wear, each piece is handmade and stamped with the official GDP mark.

Elegant, graphic, and quietly expressive — designed to be worn often, and kept with care.

Dead Heads All Around The World

In their fifty years together, the Grateful Dead forever altered the way in which popular music is performed, recorded, heard, marketed and shared. From the very beginning in 1965, the Dead distinguished themselves by their preference for live performance, musical and business creativity, and an unprecedented dedication to their fans. 

Perhaps the best known Grateful Dead Insignia--the Steal Your Face logo--was designed by Owsley Stanley and artist Bob Thomas, and was originally used to mark the band’s sound equipment. This exquisite sterling silver jewelry collection from Cynthia Gale celebrates iconic Grateful Dead imagery for Dead Heads all around the world.

Crafted by Hand with Timeless Techniques

Handmade Sterling Silver Craftsmanship

Each Grateful Dead jewelry piece is meticulously crafted using traditional silversmithing methods, ensuring a level of detail and quality that reflects the spirit of the band. From the first mold to the final polish, every Steal Your Face, Dancing Bear, or Lightning Bolt piece goes through a rigorous hand-finishing process to create a high-quality and authentic piece of wearable art.

Officially licensed, every piece is part of an exclusive partnership with the Grateful Dead™&© brand.
