About Angelite:
Angelite was first discovered in Peru in 1987 and is a light pastel blue variety of the gemstone anhydrite. The name anhydrite comes from the Greek word ‘anhydra’ meaning without water. Anhydrite gemstones are formed when gypsum stones have been in contact with water, then evaporate over time leaving the anhydrite crystals behind that have lost all hydration. Angelite is a soft gemstone and should never be immersed in water, as this can bring out traces of white calcium as the stone rehydrates.
Although anhydrite crystals can be found in many places around the world, the blue variety of angelite is quite rare. The leading supplier of angelite is Peru, with deposits also found in New Mexico and Germany. Angelite is known as a soothing and calming stone.

Meet the Maker
Welcome to Linda's Jewelry Shop! My son Joe and I are the owners of our jewelry shop in New Hampshire and we create handmade gemstone jewelry and gifts.
How it all began:
After 23 years of nursing I found myself needing to make a change in careers. I had always enjoyed creating things so I began jewelry making, and in 2014 I started Lindas Jewelry Shop. I loved working with all the different gemstones and metals and found the possibilities for designs were endless!
As things became quite busy, my sons Joe and Bill joined in and we formed our LLC family business in 2015. Since then Bill has moved on, and today Joe and I work together creating all our jewelry pieces. Joe is my go to when stones are hard to set and he has a great eye for design.
What we love about jewelry making:
We love working with natural gemstones and simple designs that bring out the beauty of the stone. There are always more gemstones to discover and more skills to learn in jewelry making. It is one of the remaining crafts that cannot be machine made or mass produced.
We would love to learn more metalsmith techniques next! It is such a rewarding feeling when someone purchases one of our jewelry pieces to give to someone special.
What are we working on now:
We just added dainty gemstone choker necklaces and we have more minimal styles coming with natural gemstones, including simple drops, dangle necklaces, and bar necklaces. Also working on our sister shop, Linda's Candle & Gift Shop with handmade gifts made with natural and organic ingredients.
What we are planning next:
We are will be adding more gifts and gift sets for the wedding party and other occasions and are creating some gift box ideas. We will be hand forging earwires and hoops soon and are working on some designs in sterling silver, gold, and rose gold filled.
Down the road we hope to do a few craft shows and gem shows and make some local connections. We are always adding new gemstones and designs to our collection.

How it’s Made
Our choker is made with 6mm and 4mm round natural angelite gemstone beads, 3mm corrugated beads, and 3mm flower cap beads. Using a 26G half hard round wire, we wire wrap the stones and beads onto the cable chain using round nose and chain nose pliers, and wire cutters. The chain closes in back with a spring clasp.
We added a 2 inch extender chain in back to make this choker adjustable, and dangled an tiny angelite 4mm round bead to dress up the back. Looks great with you hair worn up.

Shop Policies
Welcome to Lindas Jewelry Shop. We have added some information and policies below. Please reach out to us at lindasjewelryshop@comcast.net if you have any questions or click contact maker.
Can I return or exchange my jewelry?
We want you to be happy with your jewelry purchase. If you would like to return or exchange an item, please email us at LindasJewelryShop@comcast.net to let us know.
For returns please notify us within 7 days and return the jewelry within 14 days. Items are to be returned in their original condition unworn and unused in the original box along with the items packaged with your order. The buyer assumes all return/exchange shipping costs.
Do you offer repairs?
Sometimes things happen, like pulling on an earring while combing your hair....or little ones that tug on a necklace chain. Please let us know if you need a repair. We do charge a fee to cover costs to replace missing or damaged items necessary for the repair. If we no longer carry the supplies to repair your jewelry (for instance we may be out of a particular gemstone), we will try to work with you to find a solution. Please return the entire jewelry piece, even broken pieces. The buyer assumes all return/exchange shipping costs.
Do you make custom orders?
We enjoy making custom orders and are happy to design something just for you. But because these items are customized for you and are not something we currently sell in our shop, we cannot take returns on these items.
This does include custom size ring settings because we order the setting specific to your requested size.
How long will it take to ship my order?
Currently we are shipping all orders in 3-5 business days and we are shipping from New Hampshire. We ship with USPS and offer First Class and Priority options. First Class shipping is free for all orders $35 and over. We do add tracking to all our packages.
Custom orders may take additional time. This usually occurs if we have to order certain supplies to make your custom order.
How long is it taking USPS to deliver?
First class takes 3-5 business days on average and Priority mail is taking 2-3 days. Unfortunately delivery delays can occur that are outside of our control.
What if I entered the wrong address?
Please always check the address you entered is correct before completing your purchase. If you entered an incorrect address please let us know as soon as possible so we can make the changes before shipping your item.
If the item ships to the wrong address, it can take quite some time to come back to us. We will notify you when the item comes back and send you a link to purchase another shipping label with the correct address. We are not responsible for items lost due to an incorrect address.
What if I ordered the wrong size?
Sometimes the fit just isn't quite right and you need your necklace or bracelet longer or shorter. Just let us know and we are happy to make adjustments for you. The buyer assumes all return/exchange shipping costs.
How can I make sure I'm ordering the right size?
- The size of each gemstone is provided in the item description section under "materials" or under the "how its made" section.
- We do offer different chain length options for most of our jewelry items. If you are looking for a different length just let us know.
- For measuring necklace chains, the best method is to cut a piece of string and wrap around from behind your neck, bringing both ends in front of you to see what length fits best.
- Our backdrop necklaces have instructions for measuring in the item description under "measuring for a backdrop necklace."
- For bracelets, you can cut a piece of string and measure around your wrist. We advise to allow a quarter to half inch extra for the bracelet to hang comfortably. Adjust the string to how you would like your bracelet to hang.
- If you are unsure of your ring size, any local jeweler can check your size for you (usually for free).
How do I return or exchange my jewelry?
With all returns please notify us first at lindasjewelryshop@comcast.net. You can place the jewelry in the box it came in, and place the box along with all packaging items in a bubble envelope. That will protect the jewelry during shipping. We always advise to add tracking to your package because we cannot be responsible for items lost with returns and exchanges, and tracking will help us locate the package
Where do I send it?
You can send it to
Linda and Joe Thibodeau
PO Box 343
Somersworth, NH 03878
