***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

Celia says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my engagement ring every day…
Melissa says
OOOH SHINY! Surprisingly, I don’t wear any one item everyday. I like to switch it up.
Katie says
Ohh Shiny!
I love fun jewelry, so there are not many pieces other than my wedding set that I wear on a regular basis (I like to mix it up). However, I often find myself wearing a simple silver Tiffany necklace my husband got for me way back when we first started dating (I was 15). I still love it.
ashley vickers says
OOOH SHINY! I always wear my engagement ring and wedding band!
Lindsay says
OOOH Shiny!
Wedding band every day and usually the ring if I don’t forget to put it back on after my shower.
Gabby Bladdick says
OOOH SHINY!
I wouldn’t leave home without the ring my brother bought me a few years ago. It says, “May your wildest dreams come true.” Whenever I feel “too old” or that I haven’t done enough with my life, I look at it and it reminds me that I’m never “too old” to dream.
Erika says
OOOH SHINY!
I always wear my engagement ring and wedding band…well almost always. I’ve kept them as two separate rings so that if I don’t want to have my engagement ring banged around I can still wear my wedding band :)
Kelly Anne says
OOOOOHHHHH SHINEY!!!!!!!!!
I wear my wedding band every day for the last 25 years!!!!
Liesje says
OOOOOOHH SHINY!!
Apart from my wedding and engagement rings, I wear a silver bracelet with a tiny little chain on the lock. My husband gave it to me when we were in Tunisia. What makes it extra special is that my godmother had one just like it and I remember being mesmerized by it as a child… It would be special to add something that my goddaughter could be mesmerized by…
Amber says
Oooh shiny! I never leave the house without my wedding ring.
Michelle says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding ring everyday and a ring my husband bought me when our first son was born. He gave me one with each (we have 3), but somehow the first has really stuck with me.
Ellen says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding rings, two birthstone rings (for my kids) and my watch every day. Assuming of course that I have enough time and am not dressing while running out of the house taking them to school!
Iliana says
OHHH Shiny!!
I wear my wedding rings everyday along with my watch. I also just got a charm necklace with my son’s name and birthdate which I love!!
Kelly says
OOOH SHINY! I have a little collection of photo jewelry from Planet Jill and wear one piece from it each day- most of them feature shots of my 3 babies.
Natasha says
Ooh, Shiny! I wear a little magen david necklace my husband bought me last year from Israel. Even when I accidentally misplace my wedding ring, I still have that necklace on :)
dana828 says
OOOH SHINY!
The only piece of jewelry that I wear every day is my wedding ring.
Holli says
oooooo shiny!!!!!! pearl earrings : )
Kaitlin says
Ooh shiny! The only thing I wear every single day is my watch. I feel naked if I leave the house without it.
Robyn says
Oooh, Shiny!!
And yaaay, international!!!
Every week day I wear a crappy old watch that is literally disgustingly brown from grime and dirt (but, working with animals, I would never wear anything fancy to work), and then on weekends I bling it up a little and loooove necklaces, rings, bracelets, and my shiny shiny watch.
Christin says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear a pair of Towne&Reese earrings all the time! Would love to have more cute and shiny bling. :)
brianne sheppard says
Oooh Shiny!! I wear a silver ring that says love on my left hand daily.

OOOH SHINY!!!
I wear my engagement ring everyday (very vintage-romantic!) and a pear ring my mom and dad gave me as a birthday present everyday!!
Katie Vlietstra says
OOOH SHINY!
Every day, I wear diamond earrings that my Grandmother gave me as a college school graduation present. My Grandfather, who had given the earrings to her, passed during my junior year and she wanted to remind me how proud of me he would have been! Every day I think of him and my Grandmother!
Emily Hamilton says
Oooh, shiny! I don’t wear my wedding or engagement ring, but do wear a simple elsa peretti ring from Tiffany that my husband bought me years ago. it doesn’t get caught on things like my engagement ring, and is gorgeous.
Chrissy says
OOOH Shiny!!
I pretty much only wear my engagement ring/wedding band everyday. Sometimes I feel bad that I’m not better at rotating through all the beautiful jewelry I’ve collected over the years. But mostly I like that my sole piece represents the most important person/relationship in my life :)
Cori says
Ohhh Shiny!
I used to have a ring that I wore every day…but alas it fell off and I can’t find it :( need to find something new to replace it :)
Maureen says
Ooooooh! Shiny!
I always wear a CZ ring that I bought with my grandmother. She’s the smart woman who told me to use it to ward off unwanted flirting at a bar! But on most days I just wear it on my right ring finger as a safe storage place. :)
Melody Benschoter says
Ooooh Shiny!
I wear my wedding ring every day (except right now I’m big pregnant and it doesn’t fit) and a pair of diamond earrings in my second holes that my hubby gave me. The rest of my jewelry I swap out every day!
Sarah says
OOOOOOOOOHHHH SHINYYYYYYY!!!!
I wear my wedding ring every day, and a Tiffany key necklace.
Anne says
OOOH SHINY! I wear my wedding and engagement rings every day (currently on a necklace as I am pregnant), and tend to swap out other jewelry depending on my mood.
Lu says
OOOH SHINY! I have to go with my engagement and wedding rings. And,a pair of silver hoop earrings that I hardly ever take off.
kara says
OOOH SHINY!!
I wear a thin gold necklace with a heart on it. I got it from my great aunt’s collection when she passed away.
Diana says
OOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding rings, a pearl ring from my grandmother, diamond studs from my husband, and a necklace everyday. Lately it’s been a gold wings necklace from my husband, a jet pilot.
Roxanne R. says
I wear the ring that my husband gave to me on my 25th birthday (not an engagement/wedding ring, we are still saving up for that puppy). I also have a septum ring that I pretty much never take out, and I rotate between two or three pairs of ear plugs, one wood, one silicone. :-)
Roxanne R. says
I forgot to say “oooh shiny!”
Kathryn says
OOOH SHINY!!! (-:
I wear my wedding ring everyday. Although, interesting story. I recently sold my diamond from my wedding ring and ordered a new ring with a garnet center stone that should be in in about three weeks. While I am between rings, I am wearing a silver band. (-:

There isn’t any one piece that I wear every day, but I have three necklaces (all hearts) that I switch out according to my mood.

Leslie C. says
OOOH SHINY!!!
I actually don’t have an item that I wear every day. My watch is what I wear the most.
SarahN says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding ring, a ring he gave me for our anniversary, and a watch he gave me for a Christmas every single day. The only thing that changes are earrings! And, I like to show my husband that I appreciate him by wearing what he buys!
Caitlin B. says
OOOH SHINY!
I don’t have a specific piece of jewelry I wear everyday, but I feel underdressed without a pair of earrings, even if it’s just some simple studs! I think the only time I go earing-less is when I’m sick!
Julie says
Oooh shiny!
My iron ring (engineering ring). I forget I even have it on most of the time
joy says
Oooh Shiny! I try to always wear a smile. Corny, I know.
