WAIST BEADS BY FATOU
Fine handcrafted beaded adornments made with genuine love and care.
Waist Beads, n. A single or multiple strands of beads made from various kinds of glass, metal, crystal, bone, and wooden beads worn around the waist and stomach. This is an ancient tradition originating in Africa, worn for many reasons like expression of femininity, healing, protection, rites of passage during puberty, baby naming ceremony, maintaining the figure, and intimacy with a husband or lover. Rather worn for traditional reasons or fashion waist beads are the perfect tool to tap into the spirit of our ancestors while looking and feeling beautiful from the inside out.

Lovely hand-made beads. Love the set!
Looking forward to seeing your new creations in 2026 and beyond.🤔♥️
I'm so glad I got these. I am new to waist beads and soon after putting on my first strands - wanted more. And I really wanted a black strand. These are so beautiful. I feel special and beautiful while I wear them. I will definitely come back.
Always amazing products..love it
Even though this is my second time getting a red color scheme in my mystery bag I am pleased. I’ve been ordering waist beads from this site and this site ONLY for probably 7 years now and I’m never disappointed. I usually buy the mystery bags when they’re available because they last me
So long. The quality is so unmatched that I wouldn’t even waste money trying another brand of beads. These babies can stay on for monthssssssssss without beads breaking or the string breaking.
Very satisfied & way more beautiful in person!!
Loved these beads. Can’t wait to wear them!
Subtle & durable for size!
Great quality and fast delivery!
These are the waist beads I have been looking for! Other waist beads I have tried have had too big beads or felt plastic and cheap. These waist beads are lightweight and look and feel luxurious. Will definitely purchase again.
