There’s a vibrancy in both Erin Gallagher and her jewelry—one that radiates inner peace, integrity, and the ability to make anything—or anyone—sparkle. Using ethically sourced diamonds and gemstones, her work carries a simple yet powerful message: shine bright. Each quarter, Erin selects a cause close to her heart and donates 100% of the profits from select pieces to support it.
Have jewelry you’ve inherited that doesn’t quite reflect your personality? Erin takes the time to understand your story before
reimagining a ring, necklace, or bracelet into a handcrafted symbol of love, memory or transformation. Her creations don’t just have heart—they have soul. A soul that shimmers. Erin’s work has been featured in Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Town & Country, Oprah Daily, Vogue and more, and can be found locally in Steamboat Springs at The Westerly.
Elevate the Arts: Stop by The Westerly and buy a one-of-a-kind gift for a friend or yourself—you deserve it! Or, dig out the jewelry in the bottom of your box and work with Erin to reimagine it into something you want to wear every day. DM
