Pawprints Jewelry^TM and Babyprints Jewelry^TM were founded in 2006 by Linda Roberts.  After sustaining a brain injury as a passenger in a head-on car collision with a drunk driver in 2007, Linda began having difficulties with the pendant making process. In 2010, Linda approached a client and friend, Kara Akers, concerning taking over the business. In 2011, Kara accepted Linda's offer and purchased the business. She carries on Linda's creation of the handcrafted one-of-a-kind .999 pure silver custom jewelry of people's companion animal's pawprints, hoofprints, birdprints and baby's hand and footprints.
