Meaning in tradition
What does the Agarwood & Hetian Jade Plain Plaque Ring mean?
Each S090 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 S090. 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 Plain Plaque Ring that way. First read the 2 notes on style S090, one for each material or motif in the piece. Finally, the S090 notes deal with Chinese custom only, not with any promised effect.
Hetian jade · Hétián yù
Nephrite with a buttery sheen, in white, green or lotus-pink. It is the older of the Chinese jades, and it sits calmly beside agarwood.
Plain Plaque
Carvers leave a plain plaque, the wú shì pái or “nothing-happens tablet”, uncarved. Traditionally, it is a wish for an uneventful, trouble-free life.
Priced by weight
Why is this ring priced by weight?
Priced by weight means the Agarwood & Hetian Jade Plain Plaque Ring has no fixed tag: the quote comes from the scale reading of the exact ring you would receive.
A studio image shows the style, not your piece. So we weigh the actual ring, send the video and the reading, and you decide from those.
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 Plain Plaque Ring shows the result. Our estimates span 0.60 to 0.95 g/cm³ for plantation wood, a spread of up to 58% between two S090 rings of one size. Finally, the scale settles the S090 quote.
In our data, none of the 182 styles on this site has a list price, including S090. For example, you see the S090 reading on video, then pay through PayPal only after you approve the video.
About this piece
What is the Agarwood & Hetian Jade Plain Plaque Ring?
This piece (S090) 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 S090.
We size this piece from your ring size, and it is the lightest way to wear agarwood every day. Still, take it off to wash your hands with soap.
The centre is a smooth, uncarved plaque — the “nothing-happens tablet”, left plain on purpose.
The agarwood pairs with Hetian Jade. Our stringers place the stones by eye, so on your S090 they may sit a little further along or closer. The video you approve settles it. See how we pair agarwood with jade, agate and amber.
Finally, S090 uses wood from Aquilaria trees grown on plantations. According to CITES, the whole Aquilaria genus, the source of S090, has sat in Appendix II since 2004.
