Meaning in tradition
What does the Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet II mean?
Each R16 note below is a short reading of one bead shape, stone or motif in Chinese bead custom. In our data, 24 of the 182 styles on this site carry the square bead note, or 13%, including R16. For example, a bead name may sound like a wish, and a carved form may recall a virtue, so read each note on the Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet II that way. First read the single note on style R16, which covers its main material, shape or motif. Finally, the R16 notes deal with Chinese custom only, not with any promised effect.
Square bead · fāng zhū
Square-cut beads show the grain on flat faces. Tradition also links the square with fāngzhèng: being upright and straightforward.
Priced by weight
Why is this strand priced by weight?
Weighed pricing means the quote for the Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet II follows the scale reading of your own strand, not a printed tag.
For example, two Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet II strands of 20 beads at 10 mm can weigh from about 5.9 to 9.4 g. The 3.4 g gap is resin: denser wood holds more of it. A single fixed price could not reflect that.
Similarly, across the 2 sizes of Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet II, the estimate runs from about 3.5 g at 8 mm to 9.4 g at 10 mm. Therefore, for Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet II, your choice of size moves the price more than anything else.
As Tan et al. (2019) explain, an Aquilaria tree forms resin only after a wound, and never evenly, which is why no two Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet II pieces match. For estimates we use 0.60 to 0.95 g/cm³, so two R16 strands can differ by up to 58% in weight. First the scale, then the price.
In our data, none of the 182 styles on this site has a list price, including R16.

What does the Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet II look like?
The R16 gallery is a set of 9 real photographs of R16 strands from Oudbracelet stock in China. In our data, all 9 photos show strands from style R16.
First compare the grain and the resin lines from one R16 strand to the next, because plantation agarwood differs from tree to tree. For example, darker patches in the R16 beads usually mean more resin, and more resin adds weight on the scale. Second, check the bead size, since the Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet II comes in 5 sizes from 5 to 10 mm. Finally, you still see your own R16 strand on video, on the scale, before you pay with PayPal.

About this piece
What is the Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet II?
Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet II (R16) is mid to dark brown plantation agarwood. According to our data, 150 of the 182 styles on this site use mid to dark brown wood, or 82%, including R16.
One turn round the wrist, strung to your measurement. First you tell us your wrist size and how snug you like it; then we choose the bead count. As a result, no two orders of this style have to be the same length.
A cube has six flat faces, and each one is an undistorted view into the wood. So resin lines read more plainly here than on any curved bead.
In numbers, for example: at 10 mm, the middle of this style’s range, a 16 cm wrist takes 20 beads, with 16.9 cm inside. So the strand should weigh around 5.9–9.4 g. Across its 2 single-strand sizes, from 8 to 10 mm, the bead count therefore runs from 20 to 24. Style code R16, shown in 9 real photos.
Overall, it comes in 5 bead sizes, from 5 to 10 mm. Generally, smaller beads read finer and stack well. Larger beads, however, show more grain per bead and weigh more, so they cost more. Also see the bead size guide for how each size sits on the wrist.
Finally, R16 uses wood from Aquilaria trees grown on plantations. According to CITES, the whole Aquilaria genus, the source of R16, has sat in Appendix II since 2004.

What bead sizes does Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet II come in?
5 sizes: 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 mm. Below 8 mm, we string the beads as multi-wrap strands rather than a single turn. So on a 16 cm wrist that means 24 beads at 8 mm and 20 beads at 10 mm.
How much does Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet II weigh?
That depends on the bead size and the wood. For example, at 10 mm on a 16 cm wrist, expect roughly 5.9–9.4 g; at 10 mm, roughly 5.9–9.4 g. Treat these as volume-based estimates. Your price comes from the real weight of your own strand.
What wrist sizes does Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet II fit?
Any, because we set the bead count from your wrist. For instance, at 10 mm with about 1 cm of room: 18 beads for 14 cm, 19 beads for 15 cm, 20 beads for 16 cm, 21 beads for 17 cm, 22 beads for 18 cm. Try your own wrist in the fitter above to see the result drawn to scale.
