What if My Waist Beads Break?

If your waist beads break, it’s not always a bad thing — in many African and diaspora traditions, a break can symbolise spiritual release, growth, or protection. That said, we know it's still frustrating

Most breakages happen from tying them too tight or from rough handling. To prevent this:

• Don’t pull or stretch them like elastic — they’re meant to rest, not stretch.
• Avoid snagging them on clothing or sharp objects.
• Don’t sleep in beads that sit too low on your hips — higher placements are safer at night.

If your beads break within 30 days of purchase and it was a fault in materials, reach out — we’ll make it right.
