Meaning in tradition
What does the Single-Bead Agarwood Red String Bracelet mean?
Each S132 note below is a short reading of one bead shape, stone or motif in Chinese bead custom. In our data, 38 of the 182 styles on this site carry the round bead note, or 21%, including S132. For example, a bead name may sound like a wish, and a carved form may recall a virtue, so read each note on the Single-Bead Agarwood Red String Bracelet that way. Finally, the S132 notes deal with Chinese custom only, not with any promised effect.
Round bead · yuán zhū
The most traditional bead shape. Its roundness is read as yuánmǎn, completeness, and it rolls smoothly under the thumb, which is why counting strands use it.
Red String
In Chinese custom, people traditionally tie on a red cord in their own zodiac year, the běnmìngnián, as a wish for a smooth year. We pass this on as culture, not as a promise of any effect.
Priced by weight
Why is this strand priced by weight?
Weighed pricing means the quote for the Single-Bead Agarwood Red String Bracelet follows the scale reading of your own strand, not a printed tag.
Even a single agarwood bead of 10 mm can weigh from about 0.3 to 0.5 g, depending on the resin in the wood. So we weigh the beads on your Single-Bead Agarwood Red String Bracelet, film them, and quote from the scale rather than a fixed tag.
As Tan et al. (2019) explain, an Aquilaria tree forms resin only after a wound, and never evenly, which is why no two Single-Bead Agarwood Red String Bracelet pieces match. For estimates we use 0.60 to 0.95 g/cm³, so two S132 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 S132.

About this piece
What is the Single-Bead Agarwood Red String Bracelet?
Single-Bead Agarwood Red String Bracelet (S132) 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 S132.
Round beads are lathe-turned and hand-sanded. On a sphere the grain never shows the same face twice, so every bead on the strand looks a little different.
The beads sit on a twisted red string that closes with a sliding knot. So you pull the ends to tighten it, and it needs no wrist measurement.
In numbers: one agarwood bead of 10 mm, about 0.3–0.5 g of wood by volume, on a cord that adjusts to most wrists. Style code S132, shown in a studio image.
Its beads measure 10 mm.
Finally, S132 uses wood from Aquilaria trees grown on plantations. According to CITES, the whole Aquilaria genus, the source of S132, has sat in Appendix II since 2004.

What is Single-Bead Agarwood Red String Bracelet made of?
Plantation agarwood, in round beads, with red string. For S132 we use cultivated Aquilaria only, and uneven resin makes the brown colour vary slightly.
How many strands of this style can I choose from?
2: S132 and S133. 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.

No, the S132 picture is a studio image; we film the strand you would receive before you pay.
