Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Shakeya

After surviving COVID-19, I found myself searching for purpose and a deeper connection with myself. After five hours of silence and prayer, I was guided to create waist beads. What began as an act of faith in 2020 has since grown into a brand dedicated to celebrating womanhood and meaningful adornment.

Ayanfe is Yoruba and means "the chosen one" and "the one who is loved." Those words are at the heart of everything I create. Handcrafted with authentic gemstones, 14KT gold filled accents and durable materials, designed to celebrate womanhood, self-expression and the beauty of becoming.

I hope these pieces remind you to honor yourself, embrace your journey and adorn the body that carries you through every season of life as I am doing the same.

Thank you for being here. I'm honored to be a part of your story.

With love, Shakeya

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your waist beads tie-on or clasped?

All of our waist beads are made with clasps, not tie-on. This allows for easy wear and removal while maintaining a clean elevated look. Because of this accurate waist measurement is required before ordering.

Can I wear my waist beads every day?

Yes. Our waist beads are designed for daily wear. However to preserve their beauty and longevity, we recommend removing them before swimming, showering, or exercising.

Do your waist beads break easy?

Our waist beads are carefully handcrafted for durability but yes they can still break. Like all jewelry they should be handled with care. With proper wear and maintenance your waist beads are designed to last and be enjoyed for a long time.

BEST PRACTICES FOR OUR WAIST BEADS

  • Make sure to twist the clasp all the way so it doesn't loosen when wearing it.
  • Our waist beads can be worn in the shower, pool or beach. But with continual wear in those conditions may shorten the life span of the waist bead(s)
  • REMINDER: Check to see which gemstones are able to get wet.
  • Best it stored in individual jewelry box, cotton cloth, or tissue wrap when not wearing.
Do you offer custom or personalized orders?

At this time we do not offer custom or personalized orders. All pieces are thoughtfully designed and created as listed in our collections.
