Based on rock'n roll photographer Henry Diltz's original "7 and 7" design for Davy Jones. This necklace became famous and was later sold as "Monkees Love Beads" in a kit. This quote is taken from an interview with Henry Diltz: "One day in Laurel Canyon I made myself some special Virgo love beads. There were seven blue and seven white with one red one at the very end. I wore them the next day on The Monkees film set and right away Davy Jones asked me if I would make some for him. Then the camera man wanted some. Holy cow, these were my special personal love beads! Soon the teenybopper magazines were advertising Monkees Love Beads and selling packets... 'string em yourself.' At least they never knew about the one red bead at the end..." This is a handmade replica created by American Artist and Navy Submarine Veteran Thom "2skunx" Kerr. High-quality glass beads have been carefully hand strung onto nylon for a necklace that is beautiful and strong. It is approximately 29 inches in length. Thom has been making usable art for over 40 years. Please reach out with any questions about the artist or this piece. The photos of Davy Jones in this listing were taken by photographer Henry Diltz.
