Teardrop Gemstone Beads

Dakota Stones' teardrop gemstone beads are a versatile and timeless choice for designers looking to create pieces that flow with natural movement and grace. You'll find quality, consistency, and character in every strand. This collection includes a wide variety of drop-shaped beads—including classic teardrops, briolettes, pear shapes, Indian hand cut heart drops, and smooth drops—suitable for any designs.

Each bead is cut and polished by skilled lapidary artists in India, or finished by gemstone artisans in China, using time-honored techniques that enhance the color, clarity, and shape of every stone.

In metaphysical jewelry, drops are believed to represent letting go and renewal — like a teardrop falling and clearing the way.

FAQ

Are all Dakota Stones gemstone beads genuine?

Yes, all of our gemstone beads are made from authentic, natural materials. Any treatments (such as stabilization or dyeing) are clearly noted.

Are gemstone beads durable for everyday jewelry?

Most stones are durable, but hardness varies. Softer stones (below 6 on the Mohs scale) are best for necklaces or earrings rather than rings or bracelets.

How are Dakota Stones ethically sourced?

We work directly with trusted suppliers around the world to ensure responsible mining, fair labor, and environmentally conscious sourcing.
