Love beads
Love beads were worn by many of our beloved hippies back in the swinging ’60s. It was one of their traditional accessories. They were usually given away to someone you “connected” with. These beads were also meant to signify peace and love. Love beads came in a wide range of colors and were often hand-strung, too. The love bead trend emerged during a time of fascination with non-Western cultures. Places like Africa, India, and Native America use similar beads, as well.
