MEET TARA AND THE TEAM

OUR STORY

Hey friends! I’m Tara, and I’m the owner of Iris Alcoves, (formerly known as Forever Linked Gainesville.)️  

Yes! I rebranded and moved locations all at once!  

After 15 years in dentistry and stepping into motherhood, I discovered permanent jewelry—and I’ve been hooked ever since.  

When I first learned about it, I wanted to get it myself but couldn’t find anywhere local without having to book a party or search for a pop-up. That’s when I realized Gainesville needed a permanent, full-service location for this fun and meaningful experience.

    “Great experience! Lovely opportunity to chat and connect during the process. Tara made sure the fit and length were exactly what I wanted before we finished :)”

  • Rebecca S.

    “Iris Alcoves is my go to spot for permanent jewelry! I got my first bracelet a couple of years ago, and recently added another one. When I added my most recent bracelet, Tara was also more than happy to clean my older one, which obviously needed some love and cleaning. Every time I get a new bracelet or service from Iris Alcoves, it’s a fabulous experience. Can’t wait for my next piece. I definitely won’t be going anywhere else for my permanent jewelry. :)”

    “Such a wonderful experience!!! Book an appointment!
    Tara was so sweet. She handled my indecisiveness and made sure my ankle was loose/tight enough and took time with me.
    Will be scheduling back to add to the stack!❤️”

  • Brook I.

    “First time getting permanent jewelry and my experience was AMAZING! The ladies in the shop are so nice and caring, they explain everything to you and the studio is stunning. They have the cutest coffee bar too! If you are looking for your permanent piece this is the place for you! You will not be disappointed.”

  • Alecia T.

    “I booked a visit at Forever Linked for a surprise Galentine’s day treat for my mom, sister and I. This was all of our first permanent jewelry experience and WE ARE HOOKED! Tara was just so warm and welcoming from the start that we felt like long time friends and just made the appointment so stinking fun! She helped us decide on pieces that we absolute loved and made sure we left there happy (which we did)! We can’t wait to book another appointment with Tara :) 11 out of 10 recommend this business!!”

  • Kayla N.
