Meaning in tradition
What does the Agarwood Drum Bead Multi-Wrap Bracelet II mean?
Each S018 note below is a short reading of one bead shape, stone or motif in Chinese bead custom. In our data, 5 of the 182 styles on this site carry the drum bead note, or 3%, including S018. 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 Drum Bead Multi-Wrap Bracelet II that way. First read the single note on style S018, which covers its main material, shape or motif. Finally, the S018 notes deal with Chinese custom only, not with any promised effect.
Drum bead · gǔ zhū
Named after the shape of a Chinese drum — rounded sides, flat ends. The flat ends let beads sit close together.
Priced by weight
Why is this strand priced by weight?
Weighed pricing means the quote for the Agarwood Drum Bead Multi-Wrap Bracelet II follows the scale reading of your own strand, not a printed tag.
A 108-bead Agarwood Drum Bead Multi-Wrap Bracelet II strand at 8 mm should weigh between 16 and 25 g. With 108 beads, a fraction of a gram per bead becomes several grams per strand; hence the scale reading for yours.
As Tan et al. (2019) explain, an Aquilaria tree forms resin only after a wound, and never evenly, which is why no two Agarwood Drum Bead Multi-Wrap Bracelet II pieces match. For estimates we use 0.60 to 0.95 g/cm³, so two S018 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 S018. For example, you see the S018 reading on video, then pay through PayPal only after you approve the video.

A multi-wrap strand: wound three or more times round the wrist, it builds a layered band. Unwound, a long one hangs as a short necklace. So say how you plan to wear it, and we set the length.
Drum beads have rounded sides and flat ends, so they sit tight against each other and the strand closes without gaps.

Overall, it comes in 2 bead sizes, from 7 to 8 mm. Moving up from 7 to 8 mm shows more grain per bead, and the extra wood raises weight and price. Also see the bead size guide for how each size sits on the wrist.
Finally, S018 uses wood from Aquilaria trees grown on plantations. According to CITES, the whole Aquilaria genus, the source of S018, has sat in Appendix II since 2004.
