Themed collection - Jewelry from the Flower Power era (1960–1970).

Sierras from, among others, 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 mainly young people (also called hippies) participated. They often lived in communes and protested against the 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 characterized by clothing and hairstyles: floral patterns and colors, fringes and flowing garments (sometimes also tight in miniskirts and hotpants). Music also played a major role. The songs (for example by Scott McKenzie, Creedence Clearwater Revival and the Beatles) often dealt with peace, love, freedom and togetherness. Flower Power was also featured in films (for example the movie "Almost Famous"). The Woodstock music festival in 1969 stood as a high point of the Flower Power movement. The movement also emerged in other countries. The collection includes among others hippie Flower Power Sixties jewelry. These are known for, among other things, flowers and colors.
