121. Dara dry agarwood bracelet
Those who can open shops on Antique Street are basically boutique stores, and the things they sell are all genuine, so don’t worry about buying fakes.
Because the store here is too expensive, those who can open a store here are basically people who are willing to become bigger and stronger. Selling fakes will greatly reduce their brand. Therefore, every penny is priced at a time, and as long as the money is in place, you can definitely buy good things.
Jin Xiao fell in love with a bracelet, the agarwood thing he liked.
Jin Xiao likes to play arts and especially bracelets. He has also come here before and has seen a piece of Hainan Huanghuali, but it costs 7,000 yuan to increase it. He couldn't afford it at that time.
Now he can afford it, but he doesn't like Huanghuali anymore, because compared with agarwood, Huanghuali is undoubtedly a little worse.
There are two types of agarwood bracelets, one is decorative, and the other is Buddhist beads, which will emit a pleasant fragrance. Since the yield of agarwood is very small, agarwood bracelets are also relatively expensive.
In recent years, agarwood bracelets have become a popular jewelry piece that is more popular among the public. Because the agarwood bracelet is elegant in spirit, the taste is as good as there and none, refreshing, and it combines thousands of years of spiritual energy. The high-grade agarwood is used as a gift for Buddha, medicinal purposes, and home-saving homes. It is used as a collection of high-quality jewelry and a collection with appreciation potential. Agarwood is loved by people from all walks of life and often smells the smell of agarwood. The quality of submerged water is extremely high and the price is extremely expensive. It is more common to not submerged water.
Agarwood is still extremely popular under the sluggish antique market. Nowadays, many people are willing to spend a lot of money on one piece, but they are unwilling to spend a lot of money to play with stone walnuts.
The reason is also very simple, there are several points.
First of all, it is lightweight. Agarwood bracelets are a bit the same as other wooden bracelets, with lightweight as the best. Some gem bracelets are too heavy, which will affect your daily life. A too heavy bracelet will feel uncomfortable, so agarwood bracelets are the most suitable for daily wear.
The second is beauty. The agarwood bracelets are produced in different places, and the patterns vary with the amount of oil, giving people rich imagination.
Then there is the fragrance of smell. Agarwood bracelets from different origins will have different fragrance odors, which are suitable for the preferences of all kinds of people. From this point of view, it is better than other types of bracelets.
Then there are no inferior to other gems. Wearing agarwood Buddhist bead bracelets is not only different from ordinary people and demonstrates their own character, but also its value is no inferior to other gems. Although there are thousands or tens of thousands of agarwood Buddhist beads, they rise every year and can create value. From this point of view, agarwood bracelets are better than other bracelets.
Changes. Agarwood bracelets will change after wearing them for a long time. This is the "raising" bracelet that friends talk about, so agarwood bracelets have the meaning of a pet.
Combination and mixing, agarwood bracelets can be set off by other precious gems. For example, a very precious jade bead is used as the core and agarwood beads are all around. This not only shows the preciousness of jade, but also has the effect of green leaves to match red flowers, but also shows the fashionable flavor and is more suitable for wearing.
Suitable for playing with it. Currently, hand-held pieces are common preferences of many people. Some people play walnuts, some people play gourds, and some people play jade. These hidden objects can be played with in their hands. All hand-held pieces need to have a thin strap to protect them from falling. The agarwood bracelet has a natural advantage because it can be put on the wrist, so it has the prerequisites for hand-held pieces, making it more fun to play.
Personalization, it can be said that there are no two identical agarwood bracelets in the world. Agarwood bracelets will not have the same two. Everyone will appreciate the characteristics, patterns, etc. of their respective bracelets, which are very personal. To sum up, the advantages of agarwood bracelets are fully visible and have become the choice of the public, so it is natural and reasonable to stir-fried agarwood bracelets on the market.
Of course, agarwood is good, but because it is good, it means that there are many fakes on the market, so how to distinguish them is very important.
Because the real agarwood comes from nature, the patterns of each bead will be different. Moreover, because there are few natural agarwood, most of them are made by hand, so it is impossible to ensure that each of them is exactly the same size. Because artificial agarwood is machined, it is generally perfectly round.
The smell of agarwood bracelets is natural but not pungent, with a mellow and leisurely feeling. Because the fake agarwood is added with artificial spices or other chemicals, the aroma will have a pungent feeling when it penetrates the nose, which is a very unnatural fragrance. When sleeping at night, put the agarwood next to the pillow. If the fragrance comes in waves, it may be a fake. The real agarwood is generally a continuous fragrance. Do not move too close to the agarwood, but place it at a distance from the nose. If you can smell it, smell it further. The good agarwood smell covers a larger range.
The darker the color of agarwood, the better. Different types of agarwood have different colors, but whether it is black, yellow or hidden red, the darker the better, the lighter the worse. However, to identify fake agarwood, many fake agarwood colors are made very dark.
Artificial agarwood will fade after wearing for a long time and will dye on the wrist. This is because some fake agarwood is made of dyed. The real agarwood is natural in color. Although it will fade after wearing for a long time, it will not dye on the arms. You can touch it hard for a few times to see if it can dye some dye on your hands. Good agarwood has a greasy and cool touch to the touch, while artificial agarwood will not feel this way. Good agarwood has a high oil content and heavier weight, so you can weigh it with your hands.
Most good agarwood is generally submerged, but many artificial agarwood is also submerged, so whether it is submerged or not cannot be used as a standard. Generally, submerged agarwood is very expensive. As the amount of agarwood decreases, the price also increases. For example, some black agarwood bracelets that only sell a few hundred yuan are definitely fake, but high prices may not be good. You should combine the above verification methods to comprehensively identify the quality of agarwood bracelets.
When buying a bracelet, you must identify each bead to avoid defective products. The aroma of agarwood should not be based on its strongness, but should be based on its natural mellowness. Individual agarwood will taste very light at the beginning, but the fragrance will become stronger and stronger as time is worn, and the fragrance of agarwood will disappear quickly.
It is not easy to distinguish agarwood, and it is not easy to buy real products. It is also expensive, so you need to be extra careful when maintaining it.
Agarwood is not afraid of water, so it can be used as bracelets, but this does not mean that you can take a bath or wash clothes with agarwood bracelets. Agarwood cannot be put together with chemical products. The products used in daily life contain more or less chemical ingredients, which will corrode the agarwood bracelets, make their odor lighter and lose their original effects. Therefore, in order to prevent agarwood from being corroded, you must take off the agarwood bracelets when doing these things.
The high temperature resistance and sun protection ability of agarwood bracelets are very weak. Strong sunlight will cause agarwood to deteriorate. These situations should be avoided to prevent cracking of agarwood bracelets. Therefore, it is best not to expose them to temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius when wearing agarwood bracelets. When not wearing agarwood bracelets, they should be kept in a sealed bag and kept in a cool place.
In order to make the fragrance of agarwood last longer, you should place it under the pillow or seal it with a sealed bag when you go to bed at night. When you get up in the morning, you will smell it very strong and fragrant. Moreover, the fragrance of agarwood will emit more fragrance through the body temperature of the human body, so you should wear it on your body frequently. The smell of agarwood you want to smell depends on wearing it. Only after wearing it will the body temperature of the human body will emit more fragrance. Only by wearing it will you have this experience.
The most important thing for the maintenance of agarwood is to avoid causing the most direct damage to it. For example, you should avoid the collision between agarwood and some hard objects; prevent the agarwood bracelet from falling directly to the ground; prevent some artificial scratches of the agarwood bracelet, etc.
According to Buddhism and metaphysics, agarwood bracelets have a certain spirituality and can expel evil. Therefore, wearing agarwood bracelets should maintain personal hygiene, and you should not put them around. It is best to use special jewelry boxes when not wearing them.
In fact, the history of playing agarwood has a long history. Agarwood was first recorded in the "Southern Grass and Trees" of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it has been more than 2,000 years ago. For more than 2,000 years, agarwood has been highly praised by the royal nobles and scholars of all dynasties. At first, agarwood has a faint fragrance of medicine, and there is a cool mint fragrance in the gentle places. The tail fragrance is sweet. If you put it in your hands or wear it on your wrist, you will feel refreshed and comfortable all over.
Generally speaking, the greater the density of agarwood, the more resin the condensed resin, the better its quality. Therefore, the ancients often divided the agarwood into different levels. Those who sink when it enters water are called "sinking water" fragrance; secondly, those who are half floating and half sinking are called "stack fragrance"; again, those who float slightly into the water and float on the water surface are called "yellow-ripe fragrance".
There is a collection of "National Treasure Yellow Ripe Incense" in Nara Todaiji Masakura Inn, Fusamura Nara, which is agarwood, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, Oda Nobunaga and Emperor Meiji, and left three signs in the cut of the kazu wood, which shows how precious it is.
Burning incense is the common elegance of literati of all dynasties. Li Bai's poem says: "The agarwood in the Boshan stove is fired, and the two smokes are like purple clouds." Yuan Zhen's poem says: "The lotus silk shirt and willow flower skirt are empty, and the sun is inhaled and the sun is slowly inflamed." Wen Tingyun's poem says: "The treasure house is the golden croaker, and the Wushan Bi is on the Shenxiang Pavilion." The Tang people not only burn incense, but also make agarwood into bookcases, brushes, ornaments, beads and strings. In the late Ming Dynasty, watch the literati sketches. The admiration for the material of rosary is as good as the agarwood and the agarwood. Wen Zhenheng's "Changwuzhi" says: "The jade agate, amber, gold amber, crystal, coral, and titanium are all vulgar. Agarwood and Gannan fragrance are also good, especially the small bodhi seeds in Hangzhou and those who are filled with incense." The style is as lofty as Wen Zhenheng, and he also loves this way.
The Qing Dynasty novel "Peng Gong Case" once described a romantic young man: "Wearing a big blue silk shirt, a blue silk middle clothes, a five-silk single trousers, white socks, blue satin cloud shoes, and two-twined 18-sized incense sticks." The incense sticks mentioned here have a slightly blue face and a white green one. They should be from Ganan. It is better to use agarwood as a piece of play.
What Jin Xiao likes is a string of dala dry water bracelets, which are the representative of the best uniform oil. The oil is almost covered with beads, dark black, low-key and luxurious, calm and atmospheric, and expensive. It is more suitable for friends of a certain age and social status. For young people like Jin Xiao, it is actually a bit inappropriate, but there is no way, who makes him like it?
When I looked at the label, there were 85,000 yuan, a total of fourteen. Each one was priced at about several thousand yuan, but it was indeed beautiful. Jin Xiao could not pull out his eyes after just one glance.
According to his understanding, there are several major categories of agarwood depending on the origin.
Chess is the best among agarwood. White Chess Nano is mainly produced in Nha Trang, Vietnam, green Chess Nano is produced in Hainan, Guangdong and other places. The fragrance of Chess Nano is sweet, cool, sweet, pure, etc. Its tastes more transparent than ordinary agarwood. Its fragrance is sweet, cool, sweet, mellow, and clear, with more obvious changes in levels.
Hainan agarwood is a fine product among domestic agarwood. The fragrance of the head is sweet and clear and pure; the fragrance of the flowers and fruits is rich and gentle; the fragrance of the tail is mellow and elegant, and refreshing. Nha Trang agarwood is
Nha Trang agarwood has a rich flavor and will show different changes with the change of time and temperature. It is sweet and cool and melodious, just like a fruit that has just been cut. You can smell the pleasant fragrance emitted by melon sachets, which is very fresh and comfortable. The fragrance of Nha Trang agarwood should be cool first, astringent, sweet in the middle, and then elegant and elegant.
Fusen Red Clay is a very high-quality fragrant material, with a complex formation process and extremely rare. Its watermelon has a sweet taste, a rich and melodious cool taste, and contains the powerful penetration of the fragrance of flowers and fruits. It has clear layers, and the milky aroma is mellow and lasting, and the fragrance lasts for a long time.
The aroma of Kalimantan agarwood is very rich and layered, with a strong herbal flavor, with a cool first taste and a refreshing aftertaste.
Dala dried has a mellow milk aroma. Although this milk aroma is rich, it does not smell turbid. Instead, it is very clear and pleasant, with a sweet and cool feeling in the milk aroma.
The aroma of horse-mud clean agarwood is very stable, the cool flavor is not as good as the dry dala, but the frankincense flavor exceeds the dry dala agarwood and is very long-lasting.
Although the yield of agarwood in the cultured vegetables is not high, it is sweet and cool when it tastes clean, and will have a medicinal aroma when tasted carefully. It is a mid-to-high-end quality.
Generally speaking, it is not recommended to play with agarwood bracelets. The value of agarwood lies in the aroma, not in the plate. After playing with the plate for a long time, the pores are blocked and the fragrance will not be emitted. This is also one of the reasons why some fragrance friends think the taste of agarwood bracelets becomes lighter. Furthermore, if you do not pay attention to the method of the plate when playing with the plate, it may cause the surface of the agarwood bracelet to be dirty or even scented.
During the process of playing with the hands, if the hands are not clean, it will cause stains on the hands, along with sweat and oil, and the patina formed will naturally appear dirty black. Moreover, when there is sweat and oil on the hands, it will defile the agarwood and be stained with dirty smells, and the quality of the agarwood will be greatly reduced.
In fact, it is very simple to say. Rub it gently with a cotton cloth for a week and leave it naturally for a week. It will dry naturally. The surface is in contact with the air. The hands must not have sweat stains and must be dry and tasteless. About 15 minutes a day, and a layer of patina will form in two weeks. Then place it naturally and let the patina harden, and then repeat the patina. The plated agarwood bracelet is dark and beautiful, but fragrant and depressing. Of course, this is the future. The most important thing now is to buy the beads.
When he said he would buy it, Jin Xiao called the waiter over and asked the other party to take out the bracelet and gently hold it with white gloves. After looking at it for a while, he looked left and right and was satisfied, and finally took out his bank card.
“Born!”
