How to choose a high quality agarwood bracelet?

In the current agarwood market is full of various phenomena, there are many standards in the agarwood industry, in addition to taste, from other comprehensive factors, how should we choose a good agarwood? I think to measure whether an agarwood is good or not, it must meet the following requirements:

1. The production area and taste must be on the right number, don't say that this can't be done, as long as you are attentive enough.

2. The appearance characteristics of the production area must be consistent, although most of the submerged beads are similar in color, the main distinction lies in the taste, but many of the submerged beads are still different in the production area.

3. Even the quality of agarwood in Shenshui is very different, the first is to see if there are repairs and defects, and the second is to see whether it is artificial fragrance, the fragrance is not durable, and there is no taste after wearing it for a period of time.

4. Agarwood with right and good taste, higher oil content, and the color and characteristics of each production area is the most orthodox agarwood.

5. On the contrary, if the oil content is high and the taste is not right, it is not a good agarwood. —**Agarwood master Sun Yuhui.

Look at the right brand and choose the right person, it's that simple! I have always bought it in Xiang Supreme before, after all, I have been doing it for more than ten years, there is no negative news, and I can rest assured when I buy it!

It's better not to see each other, so that you don't fall in love. It's better not to know each other, so that you don't fall in love.

There are too many agarwood-related knowledge and materials, if you really want to introduce them in detail, it is better to buy a few books on agarwood knowledge and understand them systematically. Originally, I also asked everywhere on the Internet to collect knowledge of agarwood, but there were too many advertisements. It's hard to find some knowledge, it's not systematic, it seems to understand what you don't understand, and sometimes it contradicts each other!

Later, I bought a book to solve the mystery of the agarwood investment collection, so that I could systematically understand the knowledge of agarwood, and a lot of online information can be found from this book, so I don't have to take a lot of detours!

The origin of agarwood bracelets, in fact, refers to the production area of agarwood, according to the characteristics of the tree species in the production area of agarwood, mainly from three regions, the agarwood produced in these three regions is also different, to Vietnam and Laos.

The honey fragrance produced in the three countries of Cambodia is the most high-quality, followed by the Guan fragrance produced in Hainan and Erguang region of China, and Indonesia.

The largest amount of hawkwood fragrance is produced.

Two of the most famous agarwood in Vietnam.

The origin is Hui'an.

and Nha Trang. China's natural agarwood has long been extinct, and now it is made of white wood and artificial incense.

of agarwood on the market. Poor quality.

Indonesia is currently the only natural agarwood producing area in the world, and its export volume is the largest, with an annual export volume of about 700 tons. China has now become the largest importer of Indonesian agarwood. Indonesian artificial agarwood has been cultivated for more than 60 years, and the world's best quality artificial agarwood is produced in Indonesia.

At present, high-quality agarwood Buddha beads in the Chinese market.

Agarwood ornaments are all ** in Indonesia. The production areas are Illian and Kalimantan.

Brunei, Tarakan, Manilao, etc.

There is still a small amount of natural agarwood in Vietnam, which is mainly soil sinking, and the quality is the best.

Regardless of the production area, the nobility of all agarwood is based on the quality of its fragrance as the primary basis for judging, followed by the oil content, color, density, form, etc.

The high-grade natural agarwood can hardly be made into a vessel, nor can it be processed into beads to wear, and is mostly used for smoking spices and medicine. The agarwood that can be made into beads is also a natural agarwood of lower grade. Choose Buddha beads and Buddha strings to wear, rather than low-grade natural agarwood worth tens of thousands of dollars, it is better to choose the old artificial incense agarwood according to the author's recommendation, and if you maintain it properly, the fragrance will become more and more mellow and rich, especially natural agarwood.

Of course, artificial agarwood** will not be too cheap. The agarwood Buddha strings of about 30 years are also thousands of yuan and above.

It should be noted that; There are also agarwood on the market that is not fragrant and smelly, and the industry calls it coffin sinking, which is similar to gloomy wood in appearance.

When smoking, the smell of rotting corpses wafts out of the fragrance of agarwood, which should not be worn or used in medicine. **To screen.

First, the origin of agarwood bracelet ** is the best.

1. Chinese agarwood: the prestigious Hainan agarwood.

Although China's local agarwood is now almost extinct, from the perspective of the existing production areas, and compared with ancient documents, the quality of Chinese agarwood once surpassed the world.

The main production areas of Chinese agarwood are Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Taiwan, among which Hainan agarwood is the most prestigious, since ancient times, it has been held up as the first agarwood in the countries by literati and ink writers, fragrant tea, and its appearance is numerous, the smell is strong, and it is also known as "agar".

2. Vietnamese agarwood: the most common agarwood on the market at present.

Agarwood has been mined in Vietnam for hundreds of years, and the agarwood produced has a sweet smell, usually with a little floral and fruity fragrance and a light cool air, the most common being Nha Trang agarwood and laterite agarwood in Vietnam.

Nha Trang agarwood is the top grade of Vietnamese agarwood, characterized by a strong sweet charm, the fragrance of fruits, making people feel fresh and comfortable, in recent years, the high-quality whole material that can produce the finished product has been very rare, generally smoked material**.

Laterite agarwood, as the name suggests, is an agarwood formed in the red soil, which is currently mainly distributed in the two producing areas of Fusen and Hui'an. Although the texture of laterite agarwood is brittle and cannot produce the finished product, its aroma is mellow, and it is a high-quality smoked spice.

The relationship between the quality grade of agarwood and its origin is only a general relationship, and the quality of the same origin will be deviated, and it cannot be compared in a very general way, because of its incense knot part, the length of the incense knot year, the different mellow time, the different source species, etc. The agarwood of each origin has a high quality such as Qi Nan, and there is also a quality such as white wood. That's what it means.

If you can buy authentic and natural agarwood, it is a good agarwood, such as incense supreme brand agarwood.

Natural agarwood is scarce and precious, and if you want to buy a good agarwood bracelet, you should be more cautious. It is recommended to learn more about the fragrance characteristics of agarwood in different production areas, you can go to Incense Supreme to buy some agarwood incense, and then buy agarwood bracelets after establishing olfactory memory, you will avoid detours.

First of all, in addition to identifying the authenticity of agarwood, it is also necessary to choose according to the following four factors.

First, look at the weight.

Weight is the biggest factor in determining the value of an agarwood bracelet. The longer the incense set, the more oil, the higher the grade, the heavier the weight.

But weight is not necessarily the heavier the better, if it exceeds a defined value of weight, it is not agarwood. Because the fake agarwood often imitates the highest quality agarwood bracelet, the weight of the fake agarwood will exceed the upper limit in many cases, and it will often sink. If you see the same quality and weight of agarwood bracelets** too different, you must pay attention.

2. Smell the fragrance.

When it comes to fragrance, different tree species have different agarwood scents. The agarwood formed by the Ruixiang family is mostly medicative; The agarwood produced by the cypress tree can naturally be fragrant, can emit a variety of fragrances, and can smell a variety of fragrances such as medicinal fragrance, cream fragrance, pine fragrance, lemon flavor after being made into beads, and is the best agarwood among agarwood. You can also go to the physical store of Xiang Supreme to feel it, there are many types of agarwood in his house, and the taste of the bracelet is also very good.

3. Look at the color and texture.

The agarwood itself is white, and the color we see in the agarwood bracelet is actually the color of the oil. Oils and fats are generally divided into three types, black oil, butter, and green oil.

The color of the oil itself does not affect the quality of agarwood, and the black color gives people a feeling of rich oil, so black oil agarwood is the most popular, and it is also the highest, and green oil and butter are comparable. The cypress incense tree itself is hard wood, and the distribution of fragrant oil is difficult to imitate artificially.

Fourth, look at new and old materials.

The new material will have a somewhat green and floating feeling, and the old material will have a thicker and calmer fragrance in contrast, and it will be stronger and stronger. The fragrance of the old agarwood bracelet is more delicate and stable than that of the new agarwood, while the aroma of the new material is clear and soft that the old material does not have, and may have a woody taste.

What I want to tell you is that the real agarwood bracelet is very rare and very expensive, if the bracelet made of top Qi Nan is sold very cheaply in the market, then 99% is a fake, because it violates the law of value. Usually, a size of the submerged Qi Nan bracelet should be above 200,000, which is not something that ordinary consumers can afford. Regarding Qi Nan, Mr. Dachang elaborated in the article "On Qi Nan".

It can be seen that Qi Nan bracelet is the highest level of agarwood bracelet.

Evaluated from a vertical angle, even if it is a real pure incense bracelet, there are layers, Qi Nan bracelets are submerged and semi-submerged, obviously, the quality of the submerged water will be better, at the same time, buyers will also consider and compare other factors from the side, such as color and condition. In the same way, no matter what kind of agarwood material is used to make the bracelet, there is also a level, which is mainly determined by the oil content, fragrance, process and other factors, such a complex problem, determines that the market audience of agarwood bracelets is very small, or in other words, consumers are very high-end.

The more popular and most acceptable to the majority of consumers is the agarwood bracelet. Pure incense because of its thin or fragile, to make hand beads, it is obviously very difficult, generally by hand one by one grinding out, the process is not very particular, as long as it can be formed is already very good. The material chosen by more businesses is agarwood, because agarwood is easy to shape, durable, and easy to make.

We also evaluate the value of agarwood bracelets from a vertical perspective, and the order is: black oil grid is the best, followed by butter grid, and then white wood grid with lower oil content, while simple white wood [oil-free] bracelet has no value and no meaning. Further subdivision, each variety of materials also has a high and low level, and at the same time, it is necessary to measure various factors in an all-round way.

Buying agarwood bracelets through the same channel, there are many factors that affect the best of the best. Only by considering everything can you buy the cost-effective agarwood bracelet accessories you want.

The origin of agarwood, about the origin of agarwood, friends who know a little about agarwood basically know that the difference between the places of origin is very large, such as Daragan and Ilian, the two can be said to be very different.

The smell of agarwood, agarwood in the same origin, the fragrance will be different, for example, the charm of Qi Nan must be much higher than that of the ordinary charm, and there is also a fragrance characteristic, for example, "Kalimantan" is also divided into several kinds, Dongjia, Nanjia, Beijia, etc., the fragrance characteristics are different.

In addition, the smell can distinguish between new and old materials, the newer the material, the lighter the smell, and the heavier the water vapor, the older the material, the less moisture, and the more stable the smell. Friends will know it after comparing it. For strings of beads, you should pay attention to the moisture you smell, if the more moisture you smell, it means that the material is newer.

The weight of the bracelet is a concern for many newcomers, in fact, this is also a misunderstanding that is easy to walk into, and it is easy to get entangled in the weight. In fact, there is no need to be entangled, a string of beads, it is really the most important, followed by the fragrance, which is also the truth that I summed up after the in-depth understanding of the incense supreme, and then consider the gram weight, buy agarwood beads, must smell good and comfortable.

2.Secondly, according to your budget, determine the variety of agarwood bracelets to buy, and confirm the purchase with the merchant.

3.Finally, agarwood bracelets can be purchased online or directly at a merchant.

The high collusion of agarwood hands is usually around six or seven hundred to one thousand yuan, and Qi Zi and the oil at this price is very small, the color is very light, and the fragrance is very light. Natural real agarwood, more than 1,000 yuan can be bought, but the oil and fragrance are general, more than 5,000 yuan, you can buy agarwood beads with oil and fragrance are OK, but it can only be regarded as general, good immersion level, Qi Nan agarwood ** socks lift about 1-20,000 grams, and the weight of the general agarwood bracelet is about 10-30 grams.
