Rolling Stones Brian Jones Owned & Worn Handmade Beaded Metal Brooch/Pendant From the Jones Family

Rolling Stones Brian Jones Owned & Worn Handmade Beaded Metal Brooch/Pendant.

Original Rolling Stones co-founder Brian Jones owned and worn magnificently intricate, handmade, red, and yellow beaded broach that can also be used as a pendant, with a rectangular metal base, with another triangle with a red stone. This brooch/pendant came from the personal collection of the family of Brian Jones following his tragic death in 1969, at his home, Cotchford Farm in Hartfield, Sussex. It was sold, along with some of his other belongings to the author Geoffrey Giuliano, who was doing research for a book and screenplay on Brian Jones (the book later became "Paint it Black The Murder of Brian Jones (1994 Virgin)) and a screenplay for the film "Stones the Wild Wicked World f Brain Jones" of 2006. He was accompanied by Sir Richard Branson during his interviews with Brian Jones' close friends, family and associates at the time, and this interview where he obtained this piece was set up by Virgin Books.
