Meaning in tradition
What does the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet IX mean?
Each S109 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 S109. 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 IX that way. First read the single note on style S109, which covers its main material, shape or motif. Finally, the S109 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?
Weighed pricing means the quote for the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet IX follows the scale reading of your own strand, not a printed tag.
For example, two Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet IX 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 IX, the estimate runs from about 3.5 g at 8 mm to 47 g at 20 mm. Therefore, for Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet IX, 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 IX pieces match. For estimates we use 0.60 to 0.95 g/cm³, so two S109 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 S109.

About this piece
What is the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet IX?
Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet IX (S109) 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 S109.
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.
Each round bead starts as a small block, turned on a lathe and sanded. Because the surface curves, the grain appears as rings and flecks, and it shifts as the bead rolls.
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 S109, shown in a studio image.
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. To compare sizes side by side, use the bead size chart.
Finally, S109 uses wood from Aquilaria trees grown on plantations. According to CITES, the whole Aquilaria genus, the source of S109, has sat in Appendix II since 2004.

About Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet IX
Each S109 answer below is a short reply to one question about the Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet IX. For example, the S109 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 S109 has a studio image instead.
What bead sizes does Agarwood Round Bead Bracelet IX 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 IX 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 IX 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 IX made of?
Plantation agarwood, in round beads. For S109 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. 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 Round Bead Bracelet IX a photo of my piece?
No, the S109 picture is a studio image; we film the strand you would receive before you pay.
