New Arrivals

The newest strands to land at Dakota Stones. This is where fresh material shows up first — first-run cuts and shapes, stone types new to the catalog, and small-batch lots from our most recent buying round. The mix changes with every refresh: one batch might lean toward rare one-off finds, the next toward new shapes in the classics.

Most new arrivals are limited quantities. Some sell through and retire; favorites earn a permanent spot in the catalog. If a strand catches your eye, this is the moment to get it — and check back often, because this page may not look the same.

New material lands here first

New material lands here first

Every strand in this collection is a recent addition — new shapes in familiar stones, first-time cuts, and materials making their Dakota Stones debut. Some come from our regular cutters trying something new; others are small lots we found at shows and bought on the spot. It all lands here first, before it's sorted into the main catalog, so this page is the quickest way to see what just came in.
Graded and disclosed, same as always

Graded and disclosed, same as always

New doesn't mean unvetted. Every arrival goes through the same standards as the rest of the catalog: graded lots labeled A, AA, or AAA in the title, sizes in millimeters with honest ranges on handcut material, and any treatment — dyed, heated, stabilized — disclosed up front. So you can pick up a stone you've never worked with before and know exactly what's on the strand.
Buy it while it's listed

Buy it while it's listed

Most of what lands here is a limited lot. The favorites earn a permanent place in the catalog; the rest sell through and retire. If a strand fits a design you have in mind, the safe move is to buy it while it's listed — a new cut is also an easy way to refresh a piece you already sell, swapping a fresh shape into a proven silhouette. Check back when the collection turns over, or join our email list to hear when it does.

Frequently asked questions

  • What counts as a new arrival?
    Strands added in our most recent buying round: brand-new shapes and cuts, stone types new to the catalog, and fresh lots of hard-to-find material. Everything on this page is a recent addition — once the next round lands, the mix changes.
  • How often do new arrivals change?
    The collection refreshes throughout the year as new material arrives and passes inspection — there's no fixed calendar. The easiest way to catch a fresh round is to join our email list; new arrivals land here before they're sorted anywhere else on the site.
  • Are new arrivals limited quantities?
    A restock is never guaranteed, so if a strand fits your design plans it's worth grabbing early.
  • What formats do new arrivals come in?
    Mostly 15–16 inch strands, with pendants and specialty formats mixed in. Bead sizes are listed in millimeters in each product title, and handcut material is sized as a range (for example, 5x8–8x10mm). Graded lots are labeled A, AA, or AAA.
  • Are treatments disclosed on new arrivals?
    Yes — new arrivals follow the same disclosure standards as the rest of the catalog.
