John Lennon Talisman necklace replica.

Probably the most accurate reproduction of Lennon’s iconic Talisman necklace available anywhere.

Each necklace is handmade (from a template taken from detailed photographs of the original) using quality soft leather, individually painted flowers and decorations carefully sourced to match John’s necklace as closely as possible.

It measures 20 inches between fasteners but has room to be lengthened slightly if you choose.

Lennon acquired the necklace on a journey to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram in India in the 1960s.

According to Lennon, the talisman gave him tremendous good energy.

The Beatles wrote 48 songs during their seven-week stay at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram in Rishikesh, where they were introduced to austerity - living in simple rooms with bunk beds.

Lennon is seen wearing the necklace in Paul Saltzman’s photographs of the Beatles, sitting cross-legged with the Maharishi.  

He later scandalised music distributors by wearing the Indian necklace as his only piece of “clothing” in his Two Virgins album cover. Capitol Records refused to touch the album in the US because the cover photo showed Lennon and Yoko Ono in the buff — discounting the Indian necklace that is.
