By wearing our 13-Point Lightning Bolt jewelry, fans can carry a piece of the Grateful Dead's iconic energy with them, serving as a reminder of the power of music to inspire and unite. These pieces, including pendants, earrings, and bracelets, capture the essence of the Grateful Dead's electrifying performances and the transformative nature of their music. In our sterling silver Grateful Dead collection, we've created a range of jewelry pieces that showcase the distinctive 13-Point Lightning Bolt design. Designed by Bob Thomas, they appear on the back cover and are a reference to the band’s soundman, Owsley Bear Stanley, who chose and compiled the songs on the album. Regardless of the intended meaning, the 13-Point Lightning Bolt has since taken on a life of its own, becoming a standalone symbol that represents the electric energy and spirit of the Grateful Dead. Like the Stealie, the colorful Grateful Dead bears first appeared on the aforementioned 1972 album, History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One (Bear’s Choice). Others suggest that it could be a nod to the American flag, with the 13 points symbolizing the 13 original colonies. Some believe the number 13 holds spiritual significance, representing transformation and rebirth. The first of our ongoing surprise BEAR DROPS, exploring the life and legacy of Owsley Stanley, the pioneer underground LSD chemist as well as trailblazing sound engineer for the Grateful Dead. The Lightning Bolt is unique in that it features 13 distinct points, a detail that has led to various interpretations among fans. This striking motif was originally designed as part of the Steal Your Face skull logo, symbolizing the unity of opposites and the transformative force of the band's music.
