When it comes to designing or repairing fine jewelry, nothing compares to working directly with an in-house jeweler. Unlike outsourced services that send your cherished pieces across the country, or even overseas, an in-house jeweler ensures your treasures are handled with care, precision, and a personal touch. From creating one-of-a-kind engagement rings to restoring family heirlooms, the benefits are endless: better communication, faster turnaround, and a deeper connection to the artistry behind each piece.
At After Midnight Jewelers, this artistry comes alive through the hands of Scott, our Master Jeweler. Scott’s journey with gems began when he was just 12 years old, captivated by the brilliant colors and smooth surfaces of stones. That passion grew into a lifelong career, one filled with twists, turns, and magical experiences. In the 1980s and 90s, he became “Ye Old Gem Cutter” at the NY Renaissance Faire, crafting unique earrings and crystal-topped magic wands that enchanted visitors weekend after weekend. Over the years, Scott traveled the world of gems, attending the Tucson gem and mineral shows for over two decades and marveling at treasures like star sapphires, imperial topaz, and rare bicolor ametrines. His experiences not only broadened his knowledge but also deepened the artistry and authenticity he brings to every design.
Working with an in-house jeweler like Scott means more than just jewelry; it means being part of a story. Each custom design and repair carries with it decades of dedication, skill, and love for the craft. Whether you’re dreaming up a new piece or preserving something old, After Midnight Jewelers ensures your jewelry holds both beauty and meaning.
