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.

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.
