lovebeads
Flower child's necklace
Lovebeads are strings of colorful beads worn as necklaces, associated with 1960s counterculture and the hippie movement.
Often handmade from glass, wood, or seeds, they symbolized peace, love, and rejection of mainstream values.
The term evokes flower children and psychedelic aesthetics: She still has the lovebeads she wore to Woodstock.
