David Beckham has been wearing a mystical necklace to improve his sex life. The Los Angeles Galaxy soccer star - who is married to former Spice Girls singer Victoria - wears the libido boosting beads around his wrist.

The necklace, made by Energy Muse, is made up of gems and crystals and includes a scroll promising the wearer better sex, health and work success.

A friend said: "David is a happy guy. The gems were bought as a bit of fun, but David and Victoria have certainly been smiling more recently. "They have always had a strong sex life but are willing to try anything to keep things fresh."

Stars including Courtney Love, Heidi Klum and Kristin Davis have all been seen with the spiritual accessory, which costs between 25 and 275.

A spokesman for the jeweller said: "We couldn't be more delighted. "The line has been popular with stars from Britney Spears to Courtney Love, but since David has been spotted with them, sales have shot up."
