Where the grounding beauty of the earth meets the ever changing rhythm of the tide.
Our mission is to empower women to embrace their femininity, celebrate their bodies and reconnect with their inner energy through the beauty of authentic gemstones.

Meet the founder
After surviving COVID-19, five hours of silence and prayer led me to create waist beads in 2020. Ayanfe is Yoruba for “the chosen one” and “the one who is loved,” a name that reflects our belief that every woman deserves to feel chosen, loved and celebrated. What began as an act of faith has grown into a brand creating meaningful adornment with authentic gemstones and quality materials. Every piece is designed to celebrate womanhood, honor self-love and embrace the beauty of becoming. I'm honored to be part of your journey.
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.
You can shower in your Ayanfe Jewels waist beads, but for the longest wear we recommend removing them before swimming or prolonged water exposure.
Saltwater, chlorine, soap and other products can cause wear over time and may affect certain gemstones and metals.
For everyday wear, treat your waist beads like the jewelry they are: enjoy them often, but give them a little care and they’ll stay beautiful longer.
With proper care, Ayanfe waist beads can last 2–3 years or longer with everyday wear. Their longevity depends on how often they’re worn and how they’re cared for. We design our waist beads with quality materials and durable materials so they can become a lasting part of your everyday adornment.
At this time we do not offer custom or personalized orders. All pieces are thoughtfully designed and created as listed in our collections.
