Like Donna Distefano says, "Wear something beautiful while doing something good." I second that. If you are going to look good, you might was well make a statement and make it count. Donna Distefano is no new comer to giving back through her jewelry design. Dedicated to four charities, you can see her passion for design is inextricably linked for her passion for making a difference. And I would delight in upleveling her giving to uplevel her brand.
I see possibilities all around for designers to connect their brand with a cause and put forth stellar giving programs that really make an impact for both the designer brand and charities. It is absolutely my most delicious client projects. And anything that brings joy to the world has to be good. Let's just say we are creating GOOD by doing GOOD.
Here is a bit about Ms. Distefano and how she is supporting causes through her design collections:
"Donna Distefano Ltd was founded in 1994 in New York City. Donna's original designs are hand-wrought in her Chelsea Atelier and are highly sought after by the top names in entertainment, music, and sports. Distefano creates opulent treasures by perfectly blending her classical design sensibilities with extraordinary sophistication. She combines beautiful recycled Harmony® metals with fair trade gems and conflict free diamonds to create an unforgettable, inherently glamorous story told by the hands of a true goldsmith."I create jewelry that is a bridge from the past to the present to the future. I enjoy knowing there is usually symbolic meaning to its owner, that it may stire motions, and perhaps live on for many generations. Terra Incantata is ourenchanted earth, a place that provides us with precious metals and rare gemstones of intoxicating beauty. It is essential that while enjoying the gifts of nature in my craft, I must also do so while being environmentally and socially responsible.” (Source: OneKidOneWorld)
