***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

OHHHH SHINY! Wedding rings – but that Towne and Reese jewlery you picked out is awesome!!!!!
Angela says
OOOH SHINY! There’s nothing that I wear absolutely every day–I even forget my wedding ring sometimes! But I’m trying to get more into jewelry because I can see how it really completes an outfit.
Christa says
OOOH SHINY!
Nope, don’t wear one thing everyday, I’m a mix it up type. :)
DaneileB says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding bands everyday.
Kasey March says
“OOOH SHINY!”
I had a wooden ring that my boyfriend made for me (it was turned like those beautiful handmade pens you see sometimes) which I wore every day until it finally cracked. I still keep it in my jewlery box and occasionally remind him before holidays/my birthday that I would really love another one.
Candace says
OOOOH SHINY!!!
I wear my wedding set daily – can’t leave home without it! I also wear a combo of rings – 1 part of a stack ring that was a gift from the hubby and a ring that says “hope” that was a gift from my mom during a particularly difficult time.
Meg@Keeping up with the Jenks says
ooooh shiny! I also wear my wedding ring and my husband’s aunt’s blue topaz earrings.
Thanks for convincing John to do a jewlery giveaway, Sherry!!
Nicole says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my belly ring every day. I haven’t taken the thing out in like 4 years. Originally it had a little navy anchor that hanged down from the main ring part, but that’s long gone, so now it’s just a plain old belly button ring.
Robyn says
Ooh shiny! Im still in search of the perfect everyday piece or the perfect man to give it me.
Brenner says
OOOOH Shiny!
I have worn a watch my parents gave me everyday for the last 14 years. I still love it just as much as the day I got it!
Sarah says
OOOH SHINY!
I always wear my wedding rings on my left hand and my ring as a gift on our first anniversary on my right. Guess the diamonds stopped after that! haha.
Katrina says
OOH SHINY!
My wedding ring! My husband and I were married two years ago and just looking at it makes me happy and full of love for him!
Janet says
OOOH, SHINY!
The only thing I wear every single day are my wedding rings. Would love some new jewelry to add, though!
Aisha says
OOOH SHINY!
Well theres the wedding ring of course, but I also wear a necklace that my husband got me after I told him how opals reminded me of my late grandmother.
Clarissa says
oooh shiny!
For my 18th birthday, my mother gave me a diamond solitaire necklace that had been my grandmother’s, then hers. I have worn it every day since then. Recently I’ve also started wearing my engagement ring (yay!) which was made from a diamond that used to be my grandmother’s, then my mother’s…sensing a theme here? It’s been awhile since I’ve had “new” jewelry :)
AshleyMG says
OOOH SHINY!
I always wear my wedding and engagement rings. I also usually wear the same white gold stud earrings. Despite my every day somewhat boring choices I LOVE JEWELRY!!!!
Ashley says
OOOH SHINY! In addition to wearing my wedding ring everday, I also wear three stacking gemstone bands on my right hand. One is my birthstone and the other two are my husband’s and my daughter’s. It’s a sweet reminder of our little family.
Kelsey D says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my beautiful wedding ring (4 years later and it still takes my breath away) as well as the birthstone ring my hubby suprised me with on our wedding day. I’m a lucky girl to have a “sparkler” for each hand! :)
Erin C says
OOOOH SHINY!
I wear my BRAND NEW engagement ring every day since I got it a few weeks ago. I love it.
A while back I visited Vietnam and noticed almost all of the women wore these jade bangles that were very, very small – like, there was no way they could get them on or off. Someone told us that they put them on when they are kids and “grow into them,” and never take them off – ever. I liked the idea and, even though I was already fully grown, I bought a very small jade bangle and managed to get it on my wrist. It hurt a lot and I really had to contort my hand. But I wore that thing for 3 years straight!
Rachael says
Ooh shiny!!
I wish I could wear rings every day, alas, I work with my hands too much during the day to keep them on. I’m an earring girl all the way!
melissa says
OOOH SHINY!!
I never leave home without my engagement and wedding rings.
Annie says
OOOH SHINY!
I wish I could say that I have something I wear everyday and LOVE, but my “uniform” of jeans and hoodies doesn’t seem to allow for more than my little pearl earrings or CZ 1-carat studs. Maybe winning this will help jooj me up! :)
Kristy says
OOOH SHINY!
Besides my gorgeous sapphire & diamond engagement band (never got a wedding band) I wear my “promise ring” every day. My then-boyfriend bought it for me on a road trip through Ireland!
Jessica R. says
OHHH SHINY!
I wear my wedding rings and pearl studs every day. Humm. If I win, I’ll for sure be purchasing some new earrings!
Melissa Z says
OOOH SHINY!!!! Every. Single. Day. I wear an old family spoon ring that was my Mothers and made by my Great Uncle from the family silver. It’s beautiful and unique! I love it! And now, for the past (almost) year, I wear my wedding band everyday (only a couple more weeks till it will be one full year!!! :) I feel NAKED without these rings on!!!
Janelle D says
OOOH SHINY! I like shiny.
I wear my Larimar precious stone ring from the Dominican Republic & a handmade stainless ring with a heart. I got the Larimar ring on a trip with 18 members of my family and everytime I look at it I remember the amazing time we had. The heart ring I bought myself. I just like hearts and it reminds me of all the love in my life. Gosh, this sounds so cheesy. haha.
Courtney says
OOOH SHINY!

I’m a jewlery minimalist and the only piece I wear everyday is my wedding ring that my husband made.
Kit says
OOOH SHINY!
I always wear my wedding ring, but other than that – my everyday jewellery is one or more bracelets, earrings, and if the outfit calls for it – a necklace.
I’m a magpie. A happy magpie so glad that you’re finally doing a giveaway that will ship to Canada!

Kirstin L says
OOOH SHINY!
I have a necklace shaped like an arrow that I wear every day (almost). It was a gift that I bought for myself after getting a new job. I like to think that it points me in the right direction.
allison d. says
Oooh, shiny!
I wear my wedding ring everyday, for at least part of the day. I feel naked if I leave the house without it, but I take it off as soon as I walk in the door. I’m odd.
