Meaning in tradition
What does the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet V mean?
Each R05 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 R05. 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 V that way. First read the single note on style R05, which covers its main material, shape or motif. Finally, the R05 notes deal with Chinese custom only, not with any promised effect.
Round bead · yuán zhū
It is also the classic mala bead. Chinese bead culture reads the round form as yuánmǎn: completeness, nothing missing. That is why it is the default shape for prayer strands.
Priced by weight
Why is this strand priced by weight?
Weighed pricing means the quote for the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet V follows the scale reading of your own strand, not a printed tag.
For example, two Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet V strands of 16 beads at 13 mm can weigh from about 11 to 17 g. The 6.2 g gap is resin: denser wood holds more of it. A single fixed price could not reflect that.
Similarly, across the 11 sizes of Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet V, the estimate runs from about 3.5 g at 8 mm to 47 g at 20 mm. Therefore, for Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet V, 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 Round Bead Bracelet V pieces match. For estimates we use 0.60 to 0.95 g/cm³, so two R05 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 R05.

Real photos
What does the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet V look like?
The R05 gallery is a set of 9 real photographs of R05 strands from Oudbracelet stock in China. In our data, all 9 photos show strands from style R05.
First compare the grain and the resin lines from one R05 strand to the next, because plantation agarwood differs from tree to tree. For example, darker patches in the R05 beads usually mean more resin, and more resin adds weight on the scale. Second, check the bead size, since the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet V comes in 14 sizes from 5 to 20 mm. Finally, you still see your own R05 strand on video, on the scale, before you pay with PayPal.

About this piece
What is the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet V?
Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet V (R05) 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 R05.
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.
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 R05, shown in 9 real photos.
Overall, it comes in 14 bead sizes, from 5 to 20 mm. Generally, smaller beads read finer and stack well. Larger beads, however, show more grain per bead and weigh more, so they cost more. Also see the bead size guide for how each size sits on the wrist.
Finally, R05 uses wood from Aquilaria trees grown on plantations. According to CITES, the whole Aquilaria genus, the source of R05, has sat in Appendix II since 2004.

About Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet V
Each R05 answer below is a short reply to one question about the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet V. For example, the R05 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 R05 has real photos too.
What bead sizes does Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet V 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 V 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 V 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. So put your wrist size into the fitter above to see it drawn to scale.
What is Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet V made of?
Plantation agarwood, in round beads. We cut R05 from cultivated Aquilaria trees, where resin forms in streaks, so its brown shade varies.
How many strands of this style can I choose from?
11: R01, R02, R03, R04, R05, R06, S005, S040, S109, S111 and S112. 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.
Are the photos of Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet V 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.
