Add to SetSummary
This rhinestone-encrusted bangle bracelet was purchased in a second-hand boutique in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco in the late 1960s, when the area was known as the center of the "hippie" counterculture. Self-described hippies sought to break with mainstream America and create their own society. This garishly decorated bracelet is a good example of hippie aesthetics.
