***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 engagement ring and wedding band. I also wear a thumb ring (stainless steel with daisies around it). No real sentimental value to it, just love it and my thumb feels “naked” without it! My husband is amazing when it comes to buying me jewellery, so I wear other jewellery daily – but it changes.

my mother told me in high school that she would allow me to get a high school ring because i would never wear it but that she would purchase a college ring for me. well, she was right about the high school ring but i do wear my RISD ring every day! my college shaped me into the designer i am today and cannot help but gleam with pride whenever someone asks me about it or recognizes it!
MegS says
OOOH SHINY!
I always wear my wedding band, er, my replacement wedding band. My nice diamond-and-emerald gold ring lost an emerald that cost as much to replace as the entire ring, so I went out and found an AWESOME vintage, multi-colored enamel band to replace it. I’ll probably get the original fixed some day, but until then, I’ll enjoy my youthful, kooky replacement! :)
Carol N. says
“OOOH SHINY!”
I wear my wedding ring, engagement ring and 10th year anniversary ring as well as diamond stud earrings every day. This is all the jewelry I have right now because mine was all stolen when someone broke in about 2 months ago.
Kathy says
OOOH SHINY!!!
NOthing that I wear every day.
Kay says
OOOH SHINY!

ali says
OOOH SHINY
I love jewelry and love to shake it up – so it’s usually always different – seems like I bring more jewelry changes than clothes when we travel!
Laura says
OOH SHINY!!! I love to wear my wedding rings!! Feels super weird without them. I hate it if I forget!
Christine says
OOH, SHINY!
I wear a tiny gold dolphin pendant that my grandmother gave me. It was part of a bracelet she had that was too big, and the links she took out she made into matching pendants for my sister and I. It’s nice to know we all have part of the same piece!
Amanda W says
OOOOHHH SHINY!!
I wear my engagement ring and my wedding band. I also almost always am wearing a small diamond necklace my (now) husband bought me when we were dating. It was also the necklace I wore when I walked down the aisle!

OOH SHINY
I wear my wedding band and a silver ring that belonged to my great grandma.
