What are waist beads, and what do they symbolize?

Waist beads are traditional body jewelry worn around the waist or hips, deeply rooted in African culture, especially in Ghana. They symbolize femininity, sensuality, spiritual well-being, fertility, and strength. Each strand carries meaning, whether it's a celebration of womanhood, a personal ritual, or a form of self-expression.

What’s the difference between tie-on and removable waist beads?

Tie-on waist beads are made to stay on permanently, until you choose to cut them off. They're perfect for intention-setting and manifestation rituals.
Removable waist beads come with a closure and can be taken on and off, making them ideal as fashion accessories or for more flexibility.
