Meaning in tradition
What does the Agarwood & Hetian Jade Gourd Pendant mean?
Each S039 note below is a short reading of one bead shape, stone or motif in Chinese bead custom. In our data, 27 of the 182 styles on this site carry the hetian jade note, or 15%, including S039. 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 & Hetian Jade Gourd Pendant that way. Finally, the S039 notes deal with Chinese custom only, not with any promised effect.
Hetian jade · Hétián yù
A nephrite jade with a soft, oily lustre — white, green or lotus-pink. Carvers in China have worked it for thousands of years, and it pairs quietly with brown wood.
Gourd
The gourd — húlu — sounds like fú lù, fortune and rank, and is one of the most common charms in Chinese bead work.
Priced by weight
Why is this piece priced by weight?
Priced by weight means the Agarwood & Hetian Jade Gourd Pendant has no fixed tag: the quote comes from the scale reading of the exact piece you would receive.
A price list would treat every S039 alike, but resin makes some heavier, so a filmed scale reading sets your quote.
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 & Hetian Jade Gourd Pendant shows the result. Our estimates span 0.60 to 0.95 g/cm³ for plantation wood, a spread of up to 58% between two S039 pieces of one size. Finally, the scale settles the S039 quote.
In our data, none of the 182 styles on this site has a list price, including S039. For example, you see the S039 reading on video, then pay through PayPal only after you approve the video.
About this piece
What is the Agarwood & Hetian Jade Gourd Pendant?
This piece (S039) is mid to dark brown plantation agarwood set with hetian jade. According to our data, 150 of the 182 styles on this site use mid to dark brown wood, or 82%, including S039.
A single pendant. Because it needs no size at all, it is the easiest piece to give without asking any questions.
A small carved gourd hangs from the strand as its focal point, so it moves a little as you do.
The agarwood pairs with Hetian Jade. Stone placement is hand work, not a template, and it can shift slightly from one S039 strand to the next. Your video shows the real result before you approve. See how we pair agarwood with jade, agate and amber.
Finally, S039 uses wood from Aquilaria trees grown on plantations. According to CITES, the whole Aquilaria genus, the source of S039, has sat in Appendix II since 2004.
