Bracelets, rings, necklaces, and earrings were prolific adornments, often the work of local craftsmen. Think, too, of large belt buckles or hat bands.

Hippies came – and still come – in all varieties. Saturday Hippie is a weekly feature that highlights a counterculture awareness and spirit, including a vision of a harmonious global commonwealth on the horizon.

I still wear a beautiful turquoise ring handcrafted by a hippie silversmith friend of my husband. I always get compliments on it. I also still wear my bracelets and bangles. And I have two beautiful hand-tooled leather belts from my hippie days.
