Meet Angela

A love of stones. A life rooted in community.

West Yellowstone, Montana

New Pioneer Jewelry brings together two lifelong interests: a fascination with stones and a love of connecting with people.

Our founder, Angela, studied geology at the University of Arizona, where she explored the science behind the rocks and minerals that have always caught her eye. Her love of jewelry brings that interest into everyday life—a chance to appreciate a stone’s color, character, and detail in something you can wear.

For 30 years, Angela has called West Yellowstone, Montana, home and owned a local business here. Through it all, her favorite part of owning a shop has been the people: the conversations, familiar faces, and opportunity to get to know someone who walks through the door.

New Pioneer Jewelry carries that personal approach online, pairing Angela’s appreciation for stones and jewelry with the warmth of a local shop in West Yellowstone.

Jewelry & shopping questions

A little guidance on shipping, fit, materials, and caring for your piece.

When will my order ship?

Orders ship the same day or the next day. Shipping is when your parcel leaves us; delivery takes additional time based on the service and destination.

Is shipping free? Can I choose faster shipping?

Standard shipping is free to all 50 states. Paid USPS expedited shipping is available at checkout. Select your preferred service there; expedited shipping changes the transit service, not the same-day or next-day dispatch schedule.

Does a pendant come with a chain?

You’ll receive the item as photographed. Any chain or other accessory is included only if shown.

More about sizing, materials, care & returns
How do I choose a ring or bracelet size?

For a ring, a jeweler can measure your finger; try a similar band width when possible. For a bracelet, measure your wrist where you will wear it and compare with the item's measurements. Do not bend a stone-set cuff to force a fit. Ask us if you are unsure.

What should I know about turquoise and other materials?

Read each listing for the identified stone and metal. Turquoise can be natural or treated, including stabilization; color alone does not establish origin or treatment. We share what is known about each piece and do not assume a mine or treatment when it has not been confirmed.

Who made the jewelry? Is every piece Native American-made?

We source jewelry within the United States from a variety of artists. Sourcing location alone does not establish where a piece was made or the maker's identity. Refer to each listing for supported maker information. A signature alone may not confirm identity; contact us with questions about a particular piece.

How should I care for turquoise jewelry?

Protect turquoise from heat, cosmetics, and household chemicals. Clean gently with a soft cloth; when needed, use warm water with a little mild soap, then dry carefully. Never use steam or ultrasonic cleaners on turquoise. Ask for guidance when a piece combines different stones or materials.

Can I shower or swim while wearing my jewelry?

We recommend removing stone-set jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or cleaning. This reduces exposure to chemicals, perspiration, and knocks. Store pieces separately in a dry place.

How do returns work?

Contact us for instructions before mailing a return. Eligible returns must be mailed within 7 calendar days of delivery; transit time back does not count. Customers pay change-of-mind return shipping. See the full Return & Refund Policy for eligibility, exceptions, and refund details.
