The winning design came from Beverly Muzzy, who created the Autism Speaks puzzle heart in honor of her nine-year-old daughter. In second place, Daniel Matta designed a turtle decked out in Autism Speaks’ puzzle print, left, to represent his son’s autism progress, which is moving at a “slow and steady” pace, he said in a press release.
The newest beads will be included in the current Persona Autism Speaks collection and sold at participating Zales retailers across North America. They will be priced from $35 to $50, and $10 from each sale will benefit Autism Speaks.
