AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Jewelry from, among other things, the Flower Power era.
The Flower Power movement began in the mid-1960s, mainly in the United States, and was an artistic youth culture in which primarily young people (often called hippies) participated. They often lived in communes and protested against war (notably the Vietnam War), hunger and poverty in the world. It was an open way of life, which was not always appreciated by the older generations. Flower Power was also reflected in clothing and hairstyles: floral patterns and colors, hair accessories, and loose-fitting clothing (sometimes also tight in miniskirts and hotpants). Music also played a big role. The songs (e.g., by Scott McKenzie, Creedence Clearwater Revival and the Beatles) often dealt with peace, love, freedom and solidarity. The Flower Power movement was also featured in films (e.g., the film "Almost Famous"). The Woodstock music festival in 1969 marked a high point of the Flower Power movement. The movement also spread to other countries.
The collection includes, among other things, trendy Flower Power Sixties jewelry. These are characterized, among other things, by flowers and colors.
The materials used include, among others, silver (plated), gold (gilded), steel, plastic, wood, glass (including rhinestones), shells and semi-precious stones.
It concerns:
- 25 necklaces consisting of bead necklaces (including multichain) made of faux pearls, glass, semi-precious stones, mother-of-pearl and rhinestones. The necklaces range in length from 40 to 120 cm. There are also necklaces with pendants.
- 22 brooches and pendants in various designs, materials and sizes. Rhinestones are also widely used.
- 8 bracelets in various designs and sizes. The diameter ranges from 7 to 8 cm.
- 4 chain-bracelets in various designs, materials and sizes.
- 26 earring sets in various designs, materials and sizes.
- 5 rings.
- 4 beautiful copper miniatures (potpourri box, milk can, tealight holder and measuring cup). The milk can is from NEMI (Verenigde Nederlandsche Melkinrichtingen); it can also serve as a piggy bank.
- 1 beautiful wooden bijouterie box with a secret latch (see the bottom). The dimensions are l x w x h = 13.5 x 9 x 6.5 cm.
The total weight of the jewelry is about 4 kilograms.
The jewelry is in good condition, but a few small parts may be missing here and there.
The photos are part of the description.
The jewelry is carefully packaged for shipping, but can also be picked up in Haarlem.
