Gemstone Beads

Gemstones have been used in jewelry making for as long as jewelry has existed, and many cultures associate different meanings and properties with different stones. Add interest and value to your beading projects with real semi-precious gemstone beads in a rainbow of colors and popular shapes. Our selection includes turquoise, amethyst, garnet, agate, jade, quartz, amazonite and more, perfect for bead stringing or wire wrapping. Discover premium quality gemstones from Dakota Stones, and mix and match with other natural materials such as wood, nut and ceramic beads, leather and hemp cord, and gemstone pendants. Find design inspiration with our gemstone beading projects  and gemstone videos, or get everything you need with a gemstone jewelry kit.

Due to the natural source of real gemstones, supplies are limited. Use the "Notify Me" option on sold out styles to get an alert once they become available again.
