Buying guide
How do you choose agarwood and Hetian jade?
Hetian jade is a nephrite with a soft, oily lustre, in white, green or the pale lotus-pink sometimes called ǒufěn. Nephrite measures 6.0 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, according to GIA, with a specific gravity near 2.95. Beside brown agarwood, the stone looks quiet rather than striking. So agarwood and Hetian jade suit people who want a stone with no shout. The pairing works best with pale and mid-tone wood.
The collection runs from single bracelets to malas, necklaces and gourd pendants. First, choose the wood tone: pale and mid-tone agarwood sit most calmly with Hetian jade. Next, expect a soft sheen rather than a glassy one. Then check the tone in your video, because tone varies from stone to stone. For example, white Hetian jade reads cooler than the lotus-pink kind. Finally, wipe both materials with a dry cloth after wearing, and avoid soaps and oils.
What to know before you buy agarwood & hetian jade bracelets
Agarwood and Hetian jade also age well together. In practice, the wood slowly deepens with wear, while the jade keeps its lustre. Additionally, Hetian jade is a hard stone, so store the strand in its own pouch.

Questions
What do buyers ask about agarwood & hetian jade bracelets?
This FAQ is a set of 7 short answers about agarwood & hetian jade bracelets from AgarwoodTown, trading since 2014. Each answer stands on its own. For example, the first one asks “What is Hetian jade?”
What is Hetian jade?
A nephrite jade with a soft, oily lustre, carved in China for thousands of years, in white, green and pale pink tones. It is a different mineral from jadeite, which is glassier and can be translucent.
Does Hetian jade suit dark agarwood?
It works, but it is most at home with pale and mid-tone wood, where the two soft tones sit together. For strong contrast against dark wood, jadeite is usually the better choice.
How are agarwood and Hetian jade pieces priced?
By weight. First, we pick the piece you will receive, weigh it on camera and send you the video with its exact weight and price. So we charge nothing until you approve it, and you pay by PayPal invoice.
How do I care for a piece with jade?
Care for the wood: keep it dry and away from perfume and creams. Store it apart from other jewellery, since jade is much harder than wood and metal and can scratch.
