Authentic Ghanaian glass waist beads!
Historically and culturally, waist beads have been used across Africa as a weight management tool and as a rite of passage, to display sensuality, and fertility.
In modern times, the original purpose of waist beads still remains but in the Americas and other areas of the African Diaspora, waist beads are an intimate body adornment meant to be worn under clothing but you can always rock them how you live!
