Why This Piece Is Positioned Here

This 108-bead strand sits at the intersection of material depth and long-form construction.

Compared to single-round bracelets, it requires significantly more aged, oil-rich sandalwood — material that is increasingly limited in availability.

Within our collection, this piece is positioned between daily-wear sandalwood bracelets and agarwood strands, offering a complete form for those who value material integrity over ornamentation.

It is priced to reflect selection, density, and longevity — not trend or decoration.

Overview

A complete form, defined by material discipline and long-term selection.

This 108-bead strand is crafted from sinking-grade, oil-rich Mysore sandalwood, selected for its density, fine grain, and aromatic stability.

The 8mm bead size allows the strand to remain visually light while preserving material integrity across its full length.

This piece is not designed as a ritual object, but as a long-form wearable — balanced, deliberate, and quietly present.

Material Focus: Sinking-Grade Aged Sandalwood

Only a portion of mature Mysore sandalwood develops the oil density required to naturally sink in water.

This material is characterized by:

• High internal oil content

• Fine, compact grain structure

• Consistent tone across beads

The wood used for this strand is aged material, selected specifically for long-form construction where uniformity and stability matter.Long-form strands require a higher level of material consistency, as variations become immediately visible across the full length.

No artificial scent enhancement or surface treatment is applied.

Aroma & Sensory Profile

The aroma is soft, creamy, and rounded, with a warm depth that unfolds gradually.

Rather than projecting outward, the scent remains close to the body, becoming more noticeable through warmth and motion.

Over time, the beads develop a natural surface sheen as oils rise subtly to the surface — a characteristic of genuine, oil-rich sandalwood.

Bead Configuration & Proportion

• 8mm beads

• 108-bead configuration

This proportion is chosen to ensure:

• Comfortable handling

• Visual continuity

• Even weight distribution

The smaller bead size allows for extended wear or carrying without heaviness, while preserving the full structural rhythm of a 108-bead strand.

Wearing & Use

This piece is often appreciated as:

• A personal object worn or carried daily

• A tactile companion during moments of focus

• A long-form strand kept as part of a private collection

It is valued not for symbolism, but for material presence and consistency.

Care & Notes

• Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture

• Store in a dry, shaded environment when not in use

• Natural variations in tone and grain are expected

These variations reflect the authenticity of the material and the nature of aged sandalwood.

Chosen for balance. Carried with intention.
