Waist beads date back to antiquity  often associated with African countries.Their origin dates back to antiquity; as far back as 40,000 years ago, long before many civilizations saw birth. Evidence suggests that even the earliest humans made beads.
Egypt is a land that is often referred to as the Cradle of Civilization, and this also  the place where beads saw birth, because history tells us Egypt was one of the first civilizations to make and use beads for adornment just as we do.
  In  ancient Kemet/Egypt women wore waist beads as a status symbol, femininity, as well as a way to “train” their waist. Over time waist beads found its way to other parts of the continent. The Yoruba ethnic group in Nigeria were one of the first groups to popularize wearing waist beads after the Egyptian.
