The jewelry line, which is named after her grandmother and mother, launched last year from recreating old buttons found at vintage stores into fashionable and sentimental pieces of jewelry. Today, Williams and her father, Roger “Jake” Jacobson, work as a team—Williams designs each piece and Jacobson assembles—to create meaningful pieces from abandoned jewelry and buttons.

The duo travels to gem shows around the state and fulfills special orders from people looking to showcase items in a distinctive way. This piece, titled “Kay’s Heroes” is comprised of military buttons from various family members as a tribute to those who serve.
