In her position, Williams works with various industry giants in North America, including the Women’s Jewelry Association (WJA), the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), and American Gem Society (AGS).
“The Rising Star Award was created to honour a young leader that has shown a
passion and commitment for the betterment of our industry,” says Niveet Nagpal, president of the 24 Karat Club. “Ms. Williams is very deserving of this honour, as she is one of the most gifted and dedicated professionals in our industry.”
The club’s honorees for this year also include Nikhil Jhaveri, president of the Jhaveri Diamond Corp and a member of the executive committee of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB), and Mary Todd-McGinnis, vice-president of sales and training at Ben Bridge Jeweler.
