Meaning in tradition
What does the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III mean?
Each R03 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 R03. 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 Round Bead Bracelet III that way. First read the single note on style R03, which covers its main material, shape or motif. Finally, the R03 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.
Priced by weight
Why is this strand priced by weight?
Priced by weight means the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III has no fixed tag: the quote comes from the scale reading of the exact strand you would receive.
For example, two Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III strands of 16 beads at 13 mm can weigh from about 11 to 17 g. Most of that 6.2 g range comes from resin, so we quote from the scale, not a tag.
Similarly, across the 11 sizes of Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III, the estimate runs from about 3.5 g at 8 mm to 47 g at 20 mm. Therefore, for Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III, your choice of size moves the price more than anything else.
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 Round Bead Bracelet III shows the result. Our estimates span 0.60 to 0.95 g/cm³ for plantation wood, a spread of up to 58% between two R03 strands of one size. Finally, the scale settles the R03 quote.
In our data, none of the 182 styles on this site has a list price, including R03.

Real photos
What does the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III look like?
The R03 gallery is a set of 9 real photographs of R03 strands from Oudbracelet stock in China. In our data, all 9 photos show strands from style R03.
First compare the grain and the resin lines from one R03 strand to the next, because plantation agarwood differs from tree to tree. For example, darker patches in the R03 beads usually mean more resin, and more resin adds weight on the scale. Second, check the bead size, since the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III comes in 14 sizes from 5 to 20 mm. Finally, you still see your own R03 strand on video, on the scale, before you pay with PayPal.

About this piece
What is the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III?
Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III (R03) 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 R03.
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.
We turn round beads on a lathe from a single blank, then sand them smooth. As a result, the curve shows the grain as rings and flecks that change as the bead turns. So no two beads on a strand read alike.
In numbers, for example: at 13 mm, the middle of this style’s range, a 16 cm wrist takes 16 beads, with 16.9 cm inside. So the strand should weigh around 11–17 g. Across its 11 single-strand sizes, from 8 to 20 mm, the bead count therefore runs from 12 to 24. Style code R03, shown in 9 real photos.
Overall, it comes in 14 bead sizes, from 5 to 20 mm. The smallest size suits stacking and slim wrists, while the largest makes a bolder strand that weighs, and costs, more. Also see the bead size guide for how each size sits on the wrist.
Finally, R03 uses wood from Aquilaria trees grown on plantations. According to CITES, the whole Aquilaria genus, the source of R03, has sat in Appendix II since 2004.

About Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III
Each R03 answer below is a short reply to one question about the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III. For example, the R03 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 R03 has real photos too.
What bead sizes does Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III come in?
14 sizes: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20 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, 16 beads at 13 mm and 12 beads at 20 mm.
How much does Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III weigh?
That depends on the bead size and the wood. For example, at 13 mm on a 16 cm wrist, expect roughly 11–17 g; at 20 mm, roughly 30–47 g. We estimate these from bead volume; the quote itself uses the scale reading for your strand.
What wrist sizes does Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III fit?
Any, because we set the bead count from your wrist. For instance, at 13 mm with about 1 cm of room: 15 beads for 14 cm, 15 beads for 15 cm, 16 beads for 16 cm, 17 beads for 17 cm, 18 beads for 18 cm. Try your own wrist in the fitter above to see the result drawn to scale.
What is Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet III made of?
Plantation agarwood, in round beads. For R03 we use cultivated Aquilaria only, and uneven resin makes the brown colour vary slightly.
How many strands of this style can I choose from?
11: R01, R02, R03, R04, R05, R06, S005, S040, S109, S111 and S112. 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 Round Bead Bracelet III 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.
