From now until August 5th, 100% of the proceeds from the sales of these limited-edition pieces will go to the Opportunity Fund's Small Business Relief Fund which provides help to black-owned small businesses. Williams is collaborating with the diamond manufacturer K.P. Sanghvi to ensure the jewelry is conflict-free and ethically-sourced.

"3.3 million — 10% — of the nation's small businesses went out of business forever between February and April. But Black-owned businesses bore the brunt of the pain; with more than 40% of Black-owned businesses closing down permanently due to the financial crisis precipitated by COVID-19," said Opportunity Fund CEO Luz Urrutia. "We have to decide what we want our Main Streets to look like when this is over. And we must act decisively. We have an opportunity here to build back something better than we had before by accelerating investments in Black entrepreneurs."
