love beads
Flower child's accessory
Love beads are strings of colorful beads worn as necklaces, associated with 1960s hippie counterculture and the peace movement.
They symbolized love, peace, and rejection of mainstream values.
The term evokes that era specifically: She still has the love beads she wore to Woodstock.
