Meaning in tradition
What does the Three-Bead Agarwood Red String Bracelet mean?
Each S133 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 S133. For example, a bead name may sound like a wish, and a carved form may recall a virtue, so read each note on the Three-Bead Agarwood Red String Bracelet that way. Finally, the S133 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.
Red String
In Chinese custom, people traditionally tie on a red cord in their own zodiac year, the běnmìngnián, as a wish for a smooth year. We pass this on as culture, not as a promise of any effect.
Priced by weight
Why is this strand priced by weight?
Weighed pricing means the quote for the Three-Bead Agarwood Red String Bracelet follows the scale reading of your own strand, not a printed tag.
Even 3 agarwood beads of 8 mm can weigh from about 0.4 to 0.7 g, depending on the resin in the wood. So we weigh the beads on your Three-Bead Agarwood Red String Bracelet, film them, and quote from the scale rather than a fixed tag.
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 Three-Bead Agarwood Red String Bracelet shows the result. Our estimates span 0.60 to 0.95 g/cm³ for plantation wood, a spread of up to 58% between two S133 strands of one size. Finally, the scale settles the S133 quote.
In our data, none of the 182 styles on this site has a list price, including S133.
