Our Story
Rooted in Ghana. Made with Love. Worn with Purpose.
Every strand, every stone, every piece you hold carries a story that began long before it reached your hands — in the villages of Ghana, in the hands of artisans, and in the heart of a founder who refused to let those traditions disappear.
The Founder's Why
60 Street was born from a deep longing — to bridge the ancient and the present, to bring the sacred practices of the South and West Africa into the everyday lives of people who are searching for meaning, beauty, and protection.
What started as a personal journey into Ancestral wellness became something larger: a mission to honor the artisans who carry these traditions in their hands, and to share their work with the world in a way that is honest, intentional, and full of love.
Ghanaian Roots & Ancestral Craft
Our pieces are made in Ghana — not in factories, but in communities where craft is heritage. The recycled glass beads in our collection are shaped using techniques passed down through generations, methods that transform discarded material into something luminous and purposeful. Our stones are sourced directly from rainforest villages, where they are selected with care and intention.
When you wear a piece from 60 Street, you are wearing the knowledge, the patience, and the hands of artisans who are keeping something sacred alive.
The Meaning of Waistbeads
Waistbeads are one of the oldest forms of adornment in West Africa — worn by women as a marker of femininity, spirituality, growth, and protection. They are not just jewelry. They are a conversation between the body and the spirit, a private ceremony worn close to the skin.
At 60 Street, we honor that tradition fully. Every strand is handcrafted with positive intention, designed to move with you, to remind you of who you are, and to call in what you are becoming.
Protection Pieces & Spiritual Craftsmanship
Our protection pieces including are made for those who understand that what you wear can shield, ground, and align you. These are not decorative objects. They are tools of spiritual intention, crafted with the same ancestral care that goes into every bead we string and every stone we set.
We source materials that carry their own energy — stones chosen for their properties, glass shaped by fire — and our artisans bring their own prayers and presence to the process.
Our Mission
We exist to make ancestral craft accessible and to give you pieces that mean something.
We believe that slow, intentional fashion honors both the maker and the wearer.
We believe that beauty , spirit , and purpose are not separate things.
When you choose 60 Street, you choose a lineage. You choose community. You choose culture.
Thank you for being here. We are so glad you found us.
