After a long career in local real estate, Betty Farrell, a native Washingtonian, began designing jewelry as a hobby four years ago. Gradually, and with the help of many design courses with local artists, including participating members of the Torpedo Factory, the hobby became a full-fledged business through private shows and word-of-mouth.

She has just completed taping a segment of “Fashion Notes” featuring her designs which aired several times on Channel 10.
