About us
Who We Are
At Taltohma, we believe waist beads are more than just accessories—they are symbols of femininity, self-expression, and cultural identity. Every piece we create carries history, artistry, and intention.
We specialize in handmade, elegant, and customizable waist beads, each carefully designed to honor the African heritage while catering to the modern woman. Whether worn for beauty, confidence, weight management, or spiritual connection, our beads serve as personal expressions of identity.
From Ghana to the USA, UK, Norway, Germany, Spain, and China, Taltohma has become a trusted name in quality craftsmanship and cultural storytelling, blending tradition with contemporary elegance.
Authentic Craftsmanship
Each waist bead is carefully handmade in Ghana, preserving the authenticity of African beading traditions and supporting skilled artisans.
Customization & Personalization
We create unique, made-to-order pieces that reflect the wearer’s personality, story, and journey.
Cultural Storytelling & Education
Taltohma isn’t just about selling beads—we educate our clients on the rich history and significance of waist beads through blogs, vlogs, and consultations.
Community & Mentorship
We empower women and artisans by providing mentorship, training, and opportunities through platforms like the Academy of Women Entrepreneurs.
A Fusion of Tradition & Modernity
Taltohma bridges the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern expression, making waist beads relevant for today’s global audience.

Testimonials
Some feedback from our clients
I layered a BYB inscription strand with an Akosombo Kanea set and couldn’t stop raving about the rich scent and thoughtful extras. My husband is just as obsessed as I am. The quality is top‑tier every time.
Chidera – Lagos, Nigeria (Second Set)
I returned for a blend of Signature and Royalty beads. The minimalist strand paired with a charm‑laden piece brings a bit of Africa to my doorstep. Every time I open a Taltohma package, it feels like discovering a treasure chest.
Jessica – Chicago, USA
I went back for another Royalty Design, this time with a different Adinkra symbol. My wife says she feels like a modern‑day queen. I love how the design reimagines tradition.
Kofi – Kumasi, Ghana
I added a Weight‑loss Management set to my collection. It’s both motivating and chic – I call it my little waist coach. I love that even a practical piece can carry the Ghanaian flair I adore.
Ama – Accra, Ghana
I picked a Premade trio in soft blues and golds. They complement my Ankara dresses perfectly, and the customer service felt so personal. Everything about this order made me smile.
Adeola – Enugu, Nigeria
I keep coming back for the BYB designs because I get to choose my own words and nicknames. Seeing my personal inscriptions woven into the beads makes me feel empowered and proud. I’m already planning my next order.
