Waist beads are a piece of jewelry worn around the waist or hip area. Originating in Africa, waist beads are traditionally worn by women as a symbol of waist size, beauty, sexuality, femininity, fertility, well-being, and maturity.
Commonly made of glass, metal, crystals, gemstones, charms, wooden beads, or plastic beads, waist beads are typically strung on a cotton thread, twine, thread, wire, clear cord, or elastic cord. The colors and materials used may have symbolic, cultural, or personal significance to the wearer.
