Two lightning bolts are sometimes better than one. In this case we think they make the ring more dynamic:: The two bolts are pointed at each other, going in two opposite directions. And in between them is created a void that is also shaped like a lightning bolt.
With a shiny polished finish catches the light, this is a fun and clever interpretation of an ancient symbol that has withstood the test of time.
* Even though this is an adjustable ring, please be aware that sterling silver is not a material that can be bent very many times before it breaks. To avoid damage to your ring, adjust it to your finger just once so that it can be slipped on and off without bending it, like a fixed size ring. And do not lend it out to anyone else with a different finger size as this will result in even more bending.
The lightning bolt has been a symbol of power since ancient times. In Norse legend, Thor's weapon was a lightning bolt, the most powerful and feared in the heavens. It was indestructible and capable of divine magic and unparalleled destruction. And the lightning bolt has been found in many other myths and religions, usually associated with sky gods, weather gods and deities who in general control the cosmic order of the universe.
At some point the symbol was picked up by military organizations and comic book superheroes to tap into its already-established association with supernatural powers. New uses are being found all the time for the lightning bolt symbol, such as high voltage warning signs and emoticons to express something shocking, both literally and figuratively. It's even been incorporated into Unicode.
