The Legend: The design's name and shape trace back to the legend of King Charles XII (Karl XII), whose funeral procession passed through Lidköping in 1719. Lore holds that the Swedish king was shot by a uniform button at the Fredriksten Fortress, which inspired the tactile, rounded button motif.
Aesthetic: The pieces feature clean, organic, and sculptural forms crafted in 925 sterling silver. They emphasize a smooth, rounded profile reminiscent of a classic uniform or coat button transformed into modern, wearable art.
