***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
Random.org had a tough job of sifting through nearly 7,000 jewelry hungry ladies (and gentlemen!) but has selected two random winners as… Lisa S. (who, like many, always wears her wedding ring but never gets sick of it because her husband did a great job) and SJ (who also wears her wedding and engagement rings out everyday). Congrats!
Sherry here. I don’t usually write the giveaway posts, but we’re making an exception since I was the one who twisted John’s arm into this week’s giveaway. Instead of our usual DIY & decor-related prizes, this week we’re giving away some body decor that was DIYed (well, created) by two talented jewelry designers. Yup, we have two hundred dollars worth of sparkly, sparkly jewelry for ya (or for your mom/wife/sis/girlfriend/grandma if you’re a dude).
The bling comes from two designers that I couldn’t love more (nope, I didn’t get any swag to say that – I truly love their stuff). The first is Erin McDermott, a Charlotte-based designer who studied at both my and John’s alma maters (FIT in NYC and UVA here in Virginia) and has been featured in Real Simple. Here are some of my favorites things of hers:
And then there’s Towne & Reese, whose studio we crashed earlier this year. Not only do I love their stuff, but I love that they name their pieces after their friends’ children (Towne and Reese are the founders’ daughters’ names). And get this, Clara will actually have a piece named after her in their Spring collection. Do you know how excited that makes this geeky momma? Probably too excited. You bet I’m staking out their Facebook page for a sneak peek. Anyway here are some of my favorite things from their current collection:
- PRIZE: An $100 gift card to Erin McDermott Jewelry AND an $100 gift card to Towne & Reese
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “OOOH SHINY!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: …if there’s any item that you wear every single day. If so, is it a wedding ring? A watch? A meaningful piece of jewelry from a relative? An inherited pocket watch from grandpa? An i-Pod? The same pair of lucky underwear? Hope not.
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, October 19 at 8pm EST (or at 10,000 entries)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two (each winner gets both gift cards)
- PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the whole wide world! (yesss, we love when they’re international)
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
Note: We weren’t paid or perked for hosting this giveaway, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Erin McDermott Jewelry and Towne & Reese

“OOOH SHINY!”
I always wear earrings! I feel they add a lot to any outfit – whether it be small studs or statement earrings, I love them all.
Maggie says
OOOH SHINY!I have a small gold and silver cuff that I wear every day (mom, sis and I all do).
Liz says
OOH SHINY!
I always wear my wedding and engagement rings… White gold band, simple single sapphire setting. Easy, beautiful, everyday.
I do wear a lot of rotating jewelry though… Funky wooden bracelets, colourful beaded necklaces, cute silver bangles, dangly metal earrings… I love accessories!
Shannon says
oooh shiny!
I wear my wedding ring and a diamond pendant from grandma.
Cameron Davis says
Ooohh,Shiny!
I have a few pieces I wear every day. I wear my wedding ring, diamond stud earings that my husband gave me as a gift on our wedding day, and a heart shaped ring that matches the same heart on a necklace that he gave my daughter and I on Valentine’s Day.
Thanks!!
Cameron

Christine says
Oooh, Shiny!!
Since cutting my hair super short, I wear a bobby pin *almost* every day :)
Alice says
OOOH SHINY!
Ok, I’m pretty boring. Just my engagement ring and two wedding bands every day. I don’t like a lot of “stuff” on me at one time so accessories are pretty minimal. The other thing I wear constantly are medium to big-ish earrings. I love, love earrings. For some reason they don’t make me feel claustrophobic like bracelets and short necklaces do.
Mia says
OOOH SHINY! I wear my wedding band every single day, though it’s getting a little challenging as my fingers swell toward the end of pregnancy :)
Amy Marie says
OOOH SHINY!!! I wear my wedding ring every day and almost always silver hoop earrings both from my wonderful hubby.
Dani says
OOOOH SHINY!
My daily blizing is my wedding rings. We picked them together after a long, long search for a designer I liked, and then he chose the diamond. And day-um, it is sparkly.

A watch, I’ve worn one everyday of my life since I was in third grade.

Molly says
OOOH SHINY!
I have a heart shaped necklace from when I was 5 that I wear every day. It is simple, yellow gold with teeny tiny little diamonds in it. But I appreciate how delicate it is, how it has been my style for so long (25 years). It was given to me by one of my Mom’s clients who was a jeweler – he was my valentine for a few years and would always give me wonderful sparkly gifts.

Jonelle says
OOOH SHINY!!
I wear my engagement and wedding rings everyday. Now that I’m 38 weeks pregnant and my fingers are a little too swollen to wear them on my finger, I wear them on a simple chain around my neck. I think they are beautiful and I love what they represent as well!

OOOH SHINY!!!
In addition to my wedding ring, I wear two silver rings every day. one is a set of three stacked rings that are square…got them at a local art fair…way cool. the other is in the shape of two feet…husband got it for me in Puerto Rico and it always makes me think of what an awesome time we had there together.

OOOH, SHINY!
I’m a creature of jewelry habit – I wear my engagement and wedding rings every day on my left hand, my college ring on my right, and a pretty, skinny tennis bracelet that my husband gave me back when we were dating. The rest of the stuff I mix up pretty well.
Lisa C. says
OOOH SHINY! I wear my wedding ring everyday.
