***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 wear my wedding rings every single day!!!! Love this giveaway!
Sarah says
OOH SHINY!
The one jewelry item I wear every day is a bracelet from my mom that says “Learn from yesterday. Life for today. Hope for tomorrow.” I adore it and it is a wonderful reminder of where I’ve come from and where I’m headed. :)
Melissa says
OOOH SHINY!” My great grandmother left me a beautiful 7 stone diamond ring. I am not sure why she had the ring, if it was her wedding band or an anniversary gift but I love it! I don’t go anywhere without and haven’t since I got the ring when I was in 7th grade. I believe it brings me good luck too :-)
Lauren L says
OOOOH SHINY! I wear my beautiful antique pave wedding ring every day. I love it so much and it’s so unique!
Lesley says
“OOOH SHINY!”
Hate to admit it, but the one thing I wear every day, and have for 13 years is an incredible vintage Gucci watch that I received as a gift from my ex boyfriend. Fortunately my husband doesn’t mind!
Dawn says
OOOH SHINY! I have a charm bracelet that I got from my husband 15 years ago. It solid and open hearts in three different colors of gold (white, rose, gold). It reminds me of him… plus it’s really hard to get back on, so I just keep it on!
Jessica says
OOH SHINY!!
I wear my wedding ring everyday and my favourite huge white gold stud earrings ALMOST everyday!
Ilana says
OOOH SHINY!
My engagement ring :)

stephanie devost says
OOOH SHINY

OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding rings and diamond earrings that my, now husband, gave me for Christmas the first year we dated. They go with everything!
elspeth says
OOOH SHINY!
Since back surgery, I have not gotten in the practice of wearing my crucifix. I would wear an engagement ring if I had one.
In other words, no jewelery on a daily basis unless you count my glasses!
Sunnie says
Ooh Shiny! I wear a wide band, gold ring on my right finger. It’s adjustable so perfect on those mornings where my fingers girth magically change size.
Meredith says
OOOH SHINY!
I always wear my wedding rings..and after 10 years and 5 pregnancies, I’m not sure I could get them off if I tried. Guess we’re destined for forever ;)
Amy says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding ring everyday. I actually wear my wedding ring on my right hand since I was in a car accident a few years ago and my left hand was injured. My husband also wears his wedding ring on his right hand, so we can match :)
Katie says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear a modified diamonds in the round necklace everyday. I also wear diamond earrings my husband got for me. This is the second pair, the first pair I lost, so I definitely NEVER take those off, I’m scared I’ll lose them.
Sarah R says
Oooh shiny!!
The only jewelry I wear every day without fail are my engagement and wedding rings.
Lara says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear a watch. I know boring…but practical.
Stephanie B. says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding ring every day and (almost) every day I wear a necklace that my husband gave me when we had been dating for 5 months and I was leaving for a trip. It’s in the shape of a heart, but also looks like a “B” (for our last name) and when he gave it to me he said: “Even though you’ll be far away, you’re always in my heart.” Cheesy? Maybe. But I still remember it to this day, every morning when I put it on…5 years later!
(My birthday is the day after this giveaway closes…what an awesome birthday present that would be!!)
Mary says
Ooooh shiny!! I wear my wedding ring and earrings everyday.
Rebecca says
OOOH SHINY!!
I wear a beat up sterling silver ring I got from Kohl’s years ago. It probably cose me $12 on sale, and I get so many compliments on it!
Kayt says
Pretty!
Kayt says
Oooh shiny!
Pretty! I only really wear my wedding ring all of the time, but I’ve been trying to work on earrings again, since my son is finally out of the yank-mommy’s-earrings-out stage.
Ack! I clicked too early!
Rachel Hulstein says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear a special necklace that was a gift from my grandparents everyday. It reminds me of them and their wonderful lives!

OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding ring everyday, something unique about it is that the diamond is from Canada, just like my husband. I thought it was a sweet touch.
Melanie says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding ring everyday, but a lot of days I wear my favorite owl earrings that I got on vacation with my family. They just seem to rock with any outfit. :)
Jocelyn says
OOOH SHINY! My 8 month old son is in the grab mom’s necklace and earrings phase so the only jewelry I wear these days is my wedding ring. When I don’t have little ones crawling around, I have some favorite pieces that I wear all.of.the.time.

OOOH SHINY!
I wear a ring everyday my parents bought me last christmas, which is a stunner! Haha and I also wear a ring that I got as a present when I lived in Qatar (the middle east). I lived there for about a year when I was 14 and it was such an amazing experience that I like to remember it daily :)
Ann says
OOOH SHINY! I love baubles for evenings but everyday I wear a necklace with my husband’s monogram engraved on a disc and my wedding band. No diamonds, no engagement ring; just a plain, thin band and I love it.
