Green & Clear African Waist Beads – Handmade Body Jewelry

Green & Clear African Waist Beads - Handmade Elegance

These exquisite Handmade African Waist Beads from TribalGH feature a harmonious blend of faceted green beads and clear beads with a silver-colored lining. Their unique shimmer enhances your natural glow, reflecting both beauty and symbolism with every movement.

• Bead Size: 4 - 6 mm diameter
• Color: Green with clear silver-lined accents

Why Silver-Lined Beads?

The silver-colored lining inside the clear beads amplifies light reflection, creating a radiant, luminous effect that elevates the beauty of the beads. Beyond aesthetics, silver linings are culturally symbolic, representing clarity, spiritual insight, and protection. These beads aren't just adornments; they’re wearable meaning.

How to Tie Your Waist Beads (Video timestamp: 1:38)

1. Stand up straight.
2. Wrap the strand around your bare waist (waistline, high hip, or hip, depending on where you want the beads to sit).
3. Relax your stomach and leave a little room for breathing, sitting, and moving. The fit should be snug but not tight.
4. Slide off any excess beads.
5. Tie 2-3 firm knots.
6. Trim the remaining thread, leaving about ¼" (7 mm).

Optional: Add a drop of nail glue or super glue to secure the knot.

Note: Always measure on bare skin unless you plan to wear the waist beads over clothing.

How to Measure Your Waist for Beads with Clasp

1. Stand upright and use a soft measuring tape directly on your skin.
2. Measure around your waist, high hip, or hips, wherever you want the waist beads to rest. (See model photo for guidance.)
3. Relax your belly and leave a little room for movement.
4. Make sure the tape is level, snug, and not too tight.
5. Read and double-check your measurement.

Avoid using clothing sizes as a guide. They are not accurate for waist beads fitting.
