FFI Dark and Resinous Wild Agarwood bracelets

The Dark Resin of Fakfak, West Papua

A Direct Look at Three New Bracelets from the Onin Peninsula

Fakfak is a historic, quiet coastal town in West Papua. Known locally as the "Nutmeg City," it is a region of steep limestone karsts and rainforests. It is also the source of some of Indonesia’s most distinctive wild Agarwood.

We have recently received three new bracelets from this area. They are characterised by a dark, consistent resin and a visible, natural grain pattern that is typical of high-quality wild-harvested wood from the Onin Peninsula.

A Matter of Weight and Resin

In the world of Agarwood, the weight of the beads is the most reliable indicator of resin content. We have documented the exact specifications for each of these three pieces:

• The 10mm Selection (around 4.5g): A lighter, more discreet profile. Despite its smaller size, the dark resin lines are clearly defined. 
• The 12mm Selection (around 6.1g): A classic size for daily wear, offering a balanced weight and a bold appearance on the wrist. 
• The 12mm Premium Selection (around 6.3g): The densest piece in this small batch. This bracelet has slightly more resin by weight, providing a deeper hue.

The Nature of the Wood

Because these are sourced from wild trees in the rugged environment of West Papua, no two beads are identical. The pattern you see is the organic result of the tree’s natural defense against the elements. It is a durable, honest material that feels cool to the touch and develops a unique character as it is worn.
