Waist Beads (Small Permanent)

Each set is made on: Wax Thread for Permanent Wear

Because of each item being hand made, yours may look slightly different than the pictured item.  

Waist beads can be:

A symbol of femininity and sensuality.

As a sign that a woman has reached marriageable age and could now have suitors.

Worn on babies during naming ceremonies.

As a weight measure; when gaining weight, the belt of the beads climb up and when you lose weight, it falls elegantly on the hips.*

Upon addition of precious stones, waist beads take on healing or rejuvenation qualities; depending on ailment or what needs to be enhanced (i.e. love, physic powers, balancing), various semi-precious stones can be included in the design of your waist beads.
