The Story Behind After Midnight Jewelers: Collette Arnold’s Journey
Collette Arnold

Every jewelry store has beautiful pieces, but what truly makes the experience memorable is the people behind it…the ones who listen, guide, and help turn moments into something lasting. At After Midnight Jewelers, Collette Arnold is one of those people. Originally from Westchester, New York, Collette brings a mix of warmth, curiosity, and creativity to everything she does. After earning her degree in Psychology from the University of Mississippi, she eventually made her way to Vermont with her family. That background, understanding people, emotions, and connections, naturally shapes how she works with couples every day.

Since joining After Midnight Jewelers in 2019, Collette Arnold has become known for something simple but meaningful: she genuinely cares about the stories behind each piece. For her, it’s never just about the ring or the design. It’s about the moment it represents. Whether it’s an engagement, an anniversary, or a gift meant to say something words can’t, she takes the time to understand what matters most. Her creative side shines when it comes to custom jewelry. Collette has a natural eye for design, often drawn to diamonds set in rose gold for their warmth and softness. She enjoys helping couples create pieces that feel one-of-a-kind, something that doesn’t just follow trends, but reflects their story in a way that feels personal and lasting.

What also sets her apart is her mindset. Even with years of experience, she approaches her work as a student, always learning, researching, and staying connected to what’s new in the industry. As a Diamond Certified professional through the Diamond Council of America, Collette Arnold combines knowledge with intuition, helping customers feel confident in every decision they make. Outside of the store, she keeps life just as full. Time with her dog Pecan, cheering on the Ole Miss Rebels, days by the lake, baking, traveling, these are the moments that keep her grounded and inspired. And that sense of balance shows in how she connects with people. It never feels transactional. It feels real. 

In South Burlington, Vermont, After Midnight Jewelers has always been about more than jewelry. It’s about relationships, trust, and the people who make those experiences meaningful. Collette Arnold is a big part of that, bringing creativity, care, and a genuine passion for helping others celebrate life’s most important moments.
