Local store most deserving of annual Business of the Year award (relevance: 25.4%, date: Aug 5, 2026)
The Nashville Chamber of Commerce honored Taylor Made Jewelry, Inc. as its 2026 Business of the Year last week.
I've had the honor of getting to know Diane Taylor quite well since the store opened here in Nashville in 2022. Her children practically grew up in the store. Today you'll find her son Ryan and daughter Rachel in the shop every day continuing a longtime tradition of the family-owned business.
Another smiling face you'll see at the store is Sales Manager Tracie Rives, who is pretty amazing. Ryan stated upon accepting the award that the family couldn't do it without her. That speaks volumes about someone who cares about what she does and who she does it for!
