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 Laughing Buddha Necklace that way. First read the 2 notes on style S046, one for each material or motif in the piece. Finally, the S046 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.

Priced by weight
Why is this piece priced by weight?
Pricing by weight means the quote for the Agarwood & Hetian Jade Laughing Buddha Necklace comes from what your own piece weighs on the scale, filmed before you pay.
No two pieces of agarwood weigh the same, because resin varies. So your quote comes from the scale reading of your own piece, filmed before you pay.
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 Laughing Buddha Necklace shows the result. Our estimates span 0.60 to 0.95 g/cm³ for plantation wood, a spread of up to 58% between two S046 pieces of one size. Finally, the scale settles the S046 quote.
In our data, none of the 182 styles on this site has a list price, including S046. For example, you see the S046 reading on video, then pay through PayPal only after you approve the video.
