Buying guide

How do you choose a barrel bead bracelet?

A barrel bead bracelet is a strand of short cylinders cut along the grain, so the resin lines run the length of each bead. Long barrels give the longest unbroken run of grain of any cut. Drums have rounded sides and flat ends, which sit tight together. The barrels start as heartwood from Aquilaria plantations. Barrel and drum cuts suit anyone who likes the grain but wants something less formal than a round strand.

How do you choose a barrel bead bracelet? First, pick the cut: a long barrel for figured wood, or a drum for a full look. Next, give us your exact wrist size. A barrel bead bracelet uses fewer, larger beads, so one bead changes the fit a lot. For example, the bead count depends on bead length as well as diameter. Then, in your video, look along each barrel bead, where the resin lines run the full length. Finally, we weigh the strand on camera before you pay.

What to know before you buy barrel bead bracelets in agarwood

On a barrel bead bracelet, the joint is the place where flat ends meet, so the cord bends hardest there. Additionally, check the cord every few months; in practice, restring at the first loose fibre.
