Love beads
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Love beads are one of the traditional accoutrements of hippies. They consist of one or more long strings of beads, frequently handmade, worn about the neck by both genders. The love bead trend probably evolved from the hippie fascination with non-Western cultures, such as that of India and Native America, which make common use of similar beads.
Some believe that when ones string of love beads breaks, they are soon to fall in love.
