Recent Life Update

Hey everyone! It’s Cierra again, the owner of Crystal Connections Shoppe. I wanted to take a moment to share a bit more about where I’m at and how things have been evolving.

As many of you know, I recently lost my mom, Teeka, who was not only my biggest supporter but also the co-owner of this amazing little shop. It’s been an incredibly tough time, and I’m still working through the grief. But one thing that’s kept me going is my passion for jewelry-making. Creating and designing has become my way of staying connected to her—it’s like she’s still with me through every piece I craft.

I started making jewelry back in college, and what started as a personal love quickly turned into something I could share with all of you. Seeing people wear my creations gives me so much joy and reminds me why I fell in love with this art in the first place.

I’m so grateful to all of you who have supported this journey over the years. This new chapter without my mom by my side is certainly challenging, but I’m determined to keep pushing forward and making jewelry that resonates with you all. Thank you for sticking with me, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
