History of Waistbeads

Waist beads originated in Africa and trace back to 15th century Egypt when they were referred to as "girdles." Today, these beads hold cultural significance across the African continent and the broader black diaspora. Women from countries such as Ivory Coast, America, Senegal, Ghana, Jamaica, and beyond adorn themselves with waist beads, embodying ideals of beauty, sexuality, and fertility.
