Meaning in tradition
What does the Agarwood & Nanhong Agate Ring I mean?
Each S047 note below is a short reading of one bead shape, stone or motif in Chinese bead custom. In our data, 12 of the 182 styles on this site carry the nanhong agate note, or 7%, including S047. 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 & Nanhong Agate Ring I that way. First read the single note on style S047, which covers its main material, shape or motif. Finally, the S047 notes deal with Chinese custom only, not with any promised effect.

“Southern red” — a warm, opaque red agate long used as a counter-bead on prayer strands.
Priced by weight
Why is this ring priced by weight?
Priced by weight means the Agarwood & Nanhong Agate Ring I has no fixed tag: the quote comes from the scale reading of the exact ring you would receive.
A studio image shows the style, not your piece. So we weigh the actual ring, send the video and the reading, and you decide from those.
Research on agarwood induction (Tan et al., 2019) describes resin in wood from Aquilaria trees that forms only after injury, in uneven amounts, and every Agarwood & Nanhong Agate Ring I shows the result. Our estimates span 0.60 to 0.95 g/cm³ for plantation wood, a spread of up to 58% between two S047 rings of one size. Finally, the scale settles the S047 quote.
In our data, none of the 182 styles on this site has a list price, including S047. For example, you see the S047 reading on video, then pay through PayPal only after you approve the video.

About this piece
What is the Agarwood & Nanhong Agate Ring I?
This piece (S047) is mid to dark brown plantation agarwood set with nanhong agate. According to our data, 150 of the 182 styles on this site use mid to dark brown wood, or 82%, including S047.
We size this piece from your ring size, and it is the lightest way to wear agarwood every day. Still, take it off to wash your hands with soap.
The agarwood pairs with Nanhong Agate. Because we string each strand by hand, the stones may sit a bead or two away from the S047 picture. So judge the placement in your weighing video, not in the studio image. See how we pair agarwood with jade, agate and amber.
Finally, S047 uses wood from Aquilaria trees grown on plantations. According to CITES, the whole Aquilaria genus, the source of S047, has sat in Appendix II since 2004.
