As the Custom Manager and Diamond Dazzler, our In-House Jeweler Carlee’s journey from a childhood fascination with jewelry to becoming a cherished local artisan at After Midnight Jewelers is nothing short of extraordinary. Carlee’s love affair with jewelry began at a young age, symbolized by her affection for her first gold baby ring. Though, according to Carlee, it no longer fits as snugly as it once did, it serves as a beautiful reminder of her earliest encounters with the magic of jewelry.
“I remember walking by After Midnight Jewelers when I was in high school wishing to be able to work there. It didn’t take long for my dream to come true” says Carlee. Before joining the team at After Midnight Jewelers, Carlee had been working a corporate retail job. However, fate intervened, and Scott, the Master Jeweler at After Midnight, offered her the opportunity of a lifetime. Since then, Carlee has flourished, both personally and professionally, under the nurturing guidance of her newfound mentor.
The transformation Carlee has undergone is nothing short of remarkable. Once shy and reserved, she now exudes confidence and charisma, captivating all who cross her path. Her dedication to her craft is matched only by her unwavering passion for jewelry. Each day spent at After Midnight Jewelers feels less like work and more like a joyous celebration of creativity and camaraderie, according to her. Carlee’s commitment to her artistry extends far beyond the confines of the workshop. She cherishes every interaction with clients, building genuine connections and guiding them on journeys of self-expression and discovery. It is this personalized touch, paired with her remarkable skill, that sets our In-House Jeweler Carlee apart as an artisan of her craft. Carlee’s journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring artisans everywhere, a testament to the transformative power of passion, perseverance, and unwavering dedication.
