Charlotte

Charlotte's adventure started in Northern Virginia, where her childhood was defined by running barefoot through local creeks and forests with her two sisters. Even to this day, she is rarely found sitting still. When she wasn’t working on a new art project, she spent her youth singing in local choir and opera productions. Her artistic drive took her to New York City, where she initially studied opera at Manhattan School of Music before earning a BA from The New School.

Post-college, Charlotte's career has been diverse. She cut her teeth in NYC’s fashion and jewelry industries, later sharpening her skills in digital design and operations management within the tech startup world.  After leaving NYC and traveling the country, she eventually landed in Bozeman.  Here, she decided to formally pivot her career back into her longstanding passion for the jewelry industry, and joined the Gem Gallery team in 2023. Currently, she contributes to the marketing team by handling photography, designing creative campaigns, and managing the website. Her latest pursuit is custom jewelry design, and she loves practicing technical jewelry illustration with aspirations of becoming a Certified Gemologist through the GIA.

When she’s not crafting the latest diorama for the Gem Gallery’s front window, Charlotte can be found making leather bags or jewelry, painting, singing, playing Dungeons and Dragons with friends, tending her native flower garden, or reading sci-fi novels to her two cats, Luna and Vesper.
