Priced by weight
Why is this strand priced by weight?
Pricing by weight means the quote for the Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet IV comes from what your own strand weighs on the scale, filmed before you pay.
For example, two Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet IV strands of 20 beads at 10 mm can weigh from about 5.9 to 9.4 g. Most of that 3.4 g range comes from resin, so we quote from the scale, not a tag.
Similarly, across the 2 sizes of Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet IV, the estimate runs from about 3.5 g at 8 mm to 9.4 g at 10 mm. Therefore, for Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet IV, your choice of size moves the price more than anything else.
According to Tan et al. (2019), agarwood resin forms only after a wound to an Aquilaria tree, so wood from Aquilaria plantations varies, and each Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet IV carries its own amount. In our weight estimates, plantation agarwood runs from 0.60 to 0.95 g/cm³, which lets one R18 strand weigh up to 58% more than another of the same size. First we weigh, then we quote.
In our data, none of the 182 styles on this site has a list price, including R18.

What does the Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet IV look like?
The R18 gallery is a set of 9 real photographs of R18 strands from Oudbracelet stock in China. In our data, all 9 photos show strands from style R18.
First compare the grain and the resin lines from one R18 strand to the next, because plantation agarwood differs from tree to tree. For example, darker patches in the R18 beads usually mean more resin, and more resin adds weight on the scale. Second, check the bead size, since the Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet IV comes in 5 sizes from 5 to 10 mm. Finally, you still see your own R18 strand on video, on the scale, before you pay with PayPal.

About this piece
What is the Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet IV?
Agarwood Cube Bead Bracelet IV (R18) 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 R18.
You wear this style as a single turn round the wrist. Also, we set the bead count from your wrist size and how loose you like it. So the same style fits any wrist, and a single strand also sits comfortably next to a watch.
Cube beads are sawn square and eased at the edges. Their flat faces show resin lines without distortion, so this cut suits anyone who wants to see the wood clearly.
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 R18, shown in 9 real photos.
Overall, it comes in 5 bead sizes, from 5 to 10 mm. The smallest size suits stacking and slim wrists, while the largest makes a bolder strand that weighs, and costs, more. Our bead size chart shows each size drawn on a wrist.
Finally, R18 uses wood from Aquilaria trees grown on plantations. According to CITES, the whole Aquilaria genus, the source of R18, has sat in Appendix II since 2004.
