An agarwood bracelet isn’t just a piece of jewelry. It’s a fusion of time, nature, and the spiritual essence of the earth. Agarwood forms inside Aquilaria trees when the tree is wounded—and this natural process can take decades.
Each bracelet is a living treasure, believed to carry positive energy, ward off negative vibes, bring luck, and aid in meditation and mindfulness.
Agarwood bracelets are typically made of round beads, symbolizing fullness and harmony in Eastern culture and feng shui. Depending on their intended purpose, they may come in various bead counts—commonly 18, 21, 27, or 108—numbers with deep spiritual significance in Buddhism and Eastern traditions.
Beyond aesthetics, these beads also support meditation, chanting, or keeping mindful count during spiritual practices.
Originally popular in Asia, agarwood bracelets have gained fans across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond—for good reason:
Naturally calming, relaxing fragrance
Seen as a symbol of peace and spiritual grounding
Easy to pair with modern outfits, blending elegance and tradition
A meaningful gift for friends, family, and business partners
Wearing agarwood can help ease stress, calm the mind, improve sleep quality, and regulate heart rate. Its gentle scent has soothing, almost sedative effects, promoting emotional balance and improving energy flow.
Plus, agarwood has light antibacterial properties and can help purify the air—perfect for modern spaces with pollution and artificial ventilation.
In feng shui, agarwood is known for its strong yang energy. A bracelet made from it is believed to:
Repel bad luck and spiritual negativity
Attract wealth and good fortune
Balance the five elements, depending on the type of agarwood
Boost confidence and communication
That’s why many businesspeople wear agarwood bracelets as a charm for prosperity and success.
For centuries, agarwood has been used in Buddhist rituals, meditation, and chanting. Its gentle aroma helps calm the mind, enhance focus, and create a peaceful space. Many monks and spiritual practitioners wear agarwood bracelets to support mindfulness and inner stillness.
Today, agarwood bracelets—also known as agarwood bracelets—are exported worldwide. In the Middle East, agarwood is seen as a sacred luxury. In Japan and China, it’s used in traditional medicine and meditation practices.
Vietnam is one of the most reputable sources for high-quality natural agarwood in Asia.

All our beads and incense along with flowers and fruit represent some of the primary gifts that Buddhist practitioners offer during Buddhist prayer or on their altars. Incense in particular stands for ethics and morality. But these offerings only have meaning if the follower also has right conduct. Incense also reminds the practitioner of the path of the Middle Way, or moderation, and offers the key to enlightenment and Buddhahood. It creates a feeling of serenity.
Good gift idea for Buddhists. All items are hand-made with genuine agarwood beads, we manufactured our own beads and have our hunters for wild agarwood logs.
