TaffyTaffy is the owner of CrystallineVelvet.
A loving wife and mother of three grown sons, she is known for her love for God and having a heart for people. Taffy got into the making of jewelry quite by accident. Her friend Frank asked if she knew how to make earrings as he wanted to add them to his gift shop. Her reply: "No, but I can learn". And the next thing she knew, she was opening a jewelry shop. CrystallineVelvet was born from her desire to help the "little guy"...artists who love what they do but are unable to design, craft, and sell full time due to their life responsibilities. Each artist occupies a jewelry display case in our brick-and-mortar shop where they can present their show their work |
LocalThe Artisans associated with CrystallineVelvet are either local to the Springfield, MO area where our brick-and-mortar shop is located, or within the Midwest - artists that were with me in my previous shop in Illinois.
Most of our items are either one-of-a-kind or short runs so it's unlikely you'll see your piece on someone else. All of our Artisans are passionate about their craft, serious about the quality of their work and love making pieces that will be further loved by those who purchase them. |
