Waist beads are an African tradition worn for many reasons: to celebrate femininity, sexuality, fertility, healing, spirituality, power, balancing, attracting and keeping a mate, first menses, energy, body shaping and protection. They are also traditionally given to young girls around the time of puberty.
Crystal waist beads can be used to focus on personal development goals, such as self-love and healing emotional blockages, or as a fashion accessory. They are also believed to possess specific healing properties, depending on the type of crystals used in them. These properties are thought to be attributed to the natural vibrations of the crystals, which in turn can have a positive impact on the wearer’s physical and mental well-being.
The best way to get the most out of your crystal waist beads is to cleanse and charge them regularly. This process removes any negative energies and activates the crystal’s healing properties. It can be done by placing the beads in salt water, smudging them with sage or palo santo, or by soaking them in moonlight. After they are cleansed and charged, the crystal waist beads can be worn to support your intentions and help you achieve your goals.
These beautiful crystal waist beads are made with a combination of size 11 and 6 Czech glass seed beads, silver-plated components, and lobster claw clasp. They are strung together on nylon coated stainless steel beading wire for durability and flexibility. Each set comes with a 2” extension chain, so you can add or subtract length as needed.
Our Pretty in Pink crystal waist bead set is aligned to the heart chakra, which is a symbol of unconditional love for oneself and others. It is also known for its emotional healing properties and ability to release toxic emotions.
All of our crystal waist beads are hand-selected for their energetic properties, and each piece is cleansed, reiki charged, and sealed in moon light before shipping to ensure they are ready for use. We recommend wearing them under your clothes, where they will be working their magic throughout the day, or even tying them around your hips to allow them to work their healing magic all over you.
