What do Waist Beads Symbolize?

Women adorn themselves with waist bead strands made with glass, wood, crystal, and many other unique beads that reflect happiness and wealth. In some traditions, Husbands hand select and place waist beads on their wives during a sacred and intimate ceremony on their wedding night.
Traditionally, waist beads have also been used in African rites of passage cultural ceremonies. When a girl first begins her menstrual cycle, or when she turns 16 years old, a group of her elders, mentors, and other female family members will gather in an intimate ceremony. The elder woman of the group bless and anoint waist beads before passing them down to the young woman, welcoming her into womanhood. This is a practice that is still used in modern times and many women have adapted their own versions of rites of passage ceremonies and waist beads for their daughters.
