Meaning in tradition
What does the Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I mean?
Each R38 note below is a short reading of one bead shape, stone or motif in Chinese bead custom. In our data, 18 of the 182 styles on this site carry the disc bead note, or 10%, including R38. 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 Disc Bead Bracelet I that way. First read the single note on style R38, which covers its main material, shape or motif. Finally, the R38 notes deal with Chinese custom only, not with any promised effect.

Thin discs stacked edge to edge. We cut each disc across the grain, so the strand shows a slice of the wood’s pattern in every bead.
Priced by weight
Why is this strand priced by weight?
Pricing by weight means the quote for the Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I comes from what your own strand weighs on the scale, filmed before you pay.
For example, two Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I 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 3 sizes of Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I, the estimate runs from about 3.5 g at 8 mm to 14 g at 12 mm. Therefore, for Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I, 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 Disc Bead Bracelet I pieces match. For estimates we use 0.60 to 0.95 g/cm³, so two R38 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 R38.

What does the Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I look like?
The R38 gallery is a set of 9 real photographs of R38 strands from Oudbracelet stock in China. In our data, all 9 photos show strands from style R38.
First compare the grain and the resin lines from one R38 strand to the next, because plantation agarwood differs from tree to tree. For example, darker patches in the R38 beads usually mean more resin, and more resin adds weight on the scale. Second, check the bead size, since the Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I comes in 4 sizes from 6 to 12 mm. Finally, you still see your own R38 strand on video, on the scale, before you pay with PayPal.

About this piece
What is the Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I?
Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I (R38) 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 R38.
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.
Disc beads are thin slices of wood, cut across the grain and stacked edge to edge. So the strand reads as one continuous band, with a line of pattern in every disc.
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 3 single-strand sizes, from 8 to 12 mm, the bead count therefore runs from 17 to 24. Style code R38, shown in 9 real photos.
Overall, it comes in 4 bead sizes, from 6 to 12 mm. Generally, smaller beads read finer and stack well. Larger beads, however, show more grain per bead and weigh more, so they cost more. To compare sizes side by side, use the bead size chart.
Finally, R38 uses wood from Aquilaria trees grown on plantations. According to CITES, the whole Aquilaria genus, the source of R38, has sat in Appendix II since 2004.

About Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I
Each R38 answer below is a short reply to one question about the Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I. For example, the R38 answers come from AgarwoodTown, an agarwood business trading since 2014. 48 of the 182 styles here, or 26%, show real photos, according to our data, and R38 has real photos too.
What bead sizes does Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I come in?
4 sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12 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, 20 beads at 10 mm and 17 beads at 12 mm.
How much does Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I 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 12 mm, roughly 8.8–14 g. These are estimates from bead volume. However, your quote uses the weight we read off the scale for your own strand.
What wrist sizes does Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I 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. So put your wrist size into the fitter above to see it drawn to scale.
What is Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I made of?
Plantation agarwood, in disc beads. For R38 we use cultivated Aquilaria only, and uneven resin makes the brown colour vary slightly.
How many strands of this style can I choose from?
4: R38, S002, S105 and S106. Each is a separate piece of wood in the same style, so tone and weight differ a little. Pick one, or ask us to choose for you.
Are the photos of Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet I real?
Yes. All 9 photos are of real strands in this style, taken from our stock. Your own strand is filmed separately before you pay.
