About Me

Hi! My name is Riana. I'm from New Orleans and raised in Houston, Tx. I started this business at 25 years old trying to find my way. I named this business after my daughter Milani... Yes that's where Lani's Jewelry Box came from. I make Waist Beads, Bracelets, and Anklets.

A lot of you will ask.... What are Waist Beads? 

Waist beads are a tradition in many African cultures, and they have a significant cultural and historical importance to African Americans. Waist beads are worn around the waist or hips and are typically made of seed beads and other small beads strung together. In African American culture, waist beads have gained popularity as a way to connect with one’s cultural heritage and celebrate womanhood. Some women wear waist beads to track their weight loss or gain. Others wear them to promote healing for female issues such as fibroids. Waist beads can also be used as a tool for spiritual and emotional healing. Some believe that they can help to balance the chakras and promote self-awareness.

Im here to help you enhance your beauty by providing you with your handmade jewelry to help you feel secure and boost your self- authenticity.
