Arlo is the Assistant Store Manager of Prouds in Armidale Central and she has been working at Prouds for just over two years - as a lover of all things sparkly, she couldn’t be kept away!

In her years at Prouds, Arlo has realised that every piece of jewellery is symbolic. Aside from her lovely teammates, her favourite part of the job is taking home the stories that she hears from her customers, and being a part of their journey. Arlon never truly understood how personal and meaningful the journey of buying jewellery could be - until she joined Prouds and became part of the experience.

Arlo’s most memorable moment at was encountering the "Nothing Guy" - a customer who turned a throwaway comment into a witty and meaningful gift. When the customer's partner said she wanted "nothing" for Christmas, most people would have been stumped and disheartened. Instead, he walked into the store and decided to put a comedic spin on the matter. He ordered a custom necklace that literally said "nothing.”

As someone who's been with Prouds for over two years, Arlo says she has helped many wonderful customers, but this one stood out to her as special. The sheer creativity and playful love behind that gesture was heart warming, and to top it off? The customer’s partner absolutely loved it.
