About Us

Our Story

Aja Adornments started with a love for jewelry, gemstones and African culture combined. This love has blossomed into a business.

I fell in love with them in 2020 and created my own just to wear since then. From experience I can tell you that it has made my self love and body confidence journey possible and sacred. My goal making waist beads is to make the self love journey attainable for everyone.

Waist beads are not a closed practice so anyone can enjoy them

The Name

The name Aja (AH-jah) derives from the African forest spirit of nature and is also considered a Yoruba Orisha. Aja represents the forest, herbal healing and medicinal plants

Our Waistbeads

Waistbeads are not just an accessory they have deeper roots than you would think. They are more than just jewelry,they are meant to be worn for a long time so they should be made to last. These adornments are a part of African traditions/ cultures and they are worn for a variety of reasons like weight management, spirituality, fertility, child growth, womanhood and in some cases just for adornment.
