Meaning in tradition
What does the Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet IV mean?

Priced by weight
Why is this strand priced by weight?
Pricing by weight means the quote for the Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet IV comes from what your own strand weighs on the scale, filmed before you pay.
For example, two Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet IV strands of 20 beads at 10 mm can weigh from about 5.9 to 9.4 g. That spread of 3.4 g comes from the resin in each piece of wood. So a fixed price would have to pretend that spread is not there.
Similarly, across the 3 sizes of Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet IV, the estimate runs from about 3.5 g at 8 mm to 14 g at 12 mm. Therefore, for Agarwood Disc 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 Disc 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 S106 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 S106.

About this piece
What is the Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet IV?
Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet IV (S106) 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 S106.
This is a single-turn bracelet. We string it to your wrist, adding or removing beads until the fit matches what you asked for. So it sits flat, and it wears easily beside a watch.
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 S106, shown in a studio image.
Overall, it comes in 4 bead sizes, from 6 to 12 mm. Moving up from 6 to 12 mm shows more grain per bead, and the extra wood raises weight and price. Also see the bead size guide for how each size sits on the wrist.
Finally, S106 uses wood from Aquilaria trees grown on plantations. According to CITES, the whole Aquilaria genus, the source of S106, has sat in Appendix II since 2004.

About Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet IV
Each S106 answer below is a short reply to one question about the Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet IV. For example, the S106 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 S106 has a studio image instead.
What bead sizes does Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet IV 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 IV 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. We estimate these from bead volume; the quote itself uses the scale reading for your strand.
What wrist sizes does Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet IV 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 IV made of?
Plantation agarwood, in disc beads. We cut S106 from cultivated Aquilaria trees, where resin forms in streaks, so its brown shade varies.
How many strands of this style can I choose from?
4: R38, S002, S105 and S106. They share the cut and materials, but they are different pieces of wood, so grain and weight differ. So ask for a particular one, or let us choose.
Is the picture of Agarwood Disc Bead Bracelet IV a photo of my piece?
No. We photographed S106 once in the studio; we weigh and film your own strand separately.
