About the Designer

 

Donna Carty’s creative talents were nurtured from the age of five, when she sewed doll clothes from napkins and her parents bought her a small sewing machine.  Design – fashion, home interiors, needlepoint, and knitting – has been a life long hobby while she pursued a successful business career.  She took her first bead design course in 1996 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA, where she was working.    Recognizing her skill, her teacher sponsored Donna’s membership in Bead Designers International where she was introduced to bead crochet, a technique she mastered and evolved to a unique art form with her Starry Nights Collection.  Donna currently works from her home studio in Naples, Florida, where she also runs a management consulting business.  In August 2007, the Starry Nights Collection won a Finalist Award in the N Media Group’s Annual ENNY Awards.

MORE DESIGNS BY DONNA CARTY

 

Donna has created one-of-a-kind necklaces, bracelets and matching earrings for private clients using unique beads from international artists.  Contact her today to learn more about the African Tribal Beads Collection and others. 

 

Donna also does enhancement and repair.  Do you have an old favorite necklace that is missing a stone or clasp?  What about that estate piece from your Aunt Betty?  You love some of the beads but want it tastefully modernized.   Don’t let it sit in your jewelry box gathering dust.  Work with Donna to redesign it into a fabulous new look!
