***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 pearl studs (almost!) everyday. Not only are they simple and classic, but pearls are one of my sorority’s jewels – they remind me to always strive for that which is honorable, beautiful, and highest =)

OOOH SHINY!
I always wear my wedding band and engagement ring, and also a ring that my husband bought me after our daughter was born. I also almost always wear a piece of my mom’s jewelry every day. She never had anything very valuable, but every single piece was sentimental to her in some way and is now even more sentimental to me since she’s no longer here.
Meghan says
Ohh Shiny! I wear my gold wedding band every day. I’ve got a fun sparkly engagement ring, but I love my gold band for it’s simple beauty.

OOOH SHINY!!
I wear my class ring from college everyday. It’s not your typical class ring, it’s dainty and has diamonds. What more could I ask for! It is so special to me, now especially with all of my friends spread around the country, it reminds me of the great times we had.
L.Overstreet says
OOOH SHINY!
The only thing I wear every day is my wedding ring. I feel totally naked without it! I also wear earrings daily, but always a different pair. I could totally use some more earrings… It’s an addiction!
Tabitha says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear a ring my Grandfather gave to my Grandmother. It was put aside for my 16th birthday and I cherish it the most. My Grandfather passed away when I was 3, so it’s nice to have something that he held in his hands on my own hand. Call me selfish but I don’t even think I can pass this one down to my daughter!!!

Lauren Wuchte says
OOOH SHINY! At all times I wear a ring that my sister gave me that says “be the change you wish to see in the world” on it. I wear that a) because that is what I live my life by and I use it to motivate me b) my sister gave it to me and I love being reminded of her c)a friend of mine from high school is ending a long battle with cancer and his wish in life was to “be the change” and to improve people’s lives, so I wear it to honor him.
Lindsay says
OOOH SHINY!
I don’t have any piece that I wear daily, but here’s hoping that changes :)
Jen says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear a silver monogrammed Tiffany’s necklace that I received as a bridesmaid’s gift from my friend’s wedding almost every day. It’s probably the only thing I’ll ever have from Tiffany’s so I love it!
Rachel says
Oooh shiny! I wear my engagement ring everyday.
Kyla A says
Ooooh shiny! I wear a wedding band, as well as a band that was a gift from my parents. Everyday, without exception.
Marcy says
oooh shiny!
I used to never take my wedding ring off and used to never sleep with my engagement ring on but now I’m doing so much work around the house and with the baby that I very often have both of them off. What I don’t take off are the diamond studs my hubby gave me the day after our daughter was born and a modern claddagh that I’ve worn since the summer of ’00 (ok, the one I wear now is a replacement for the original).
Jessica says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding ring everyday and a pair of diamond stud earrings mostly because I forget they’re in there half the time.

Stephanie says
OOOH, SHINY!
I have two rings that I wear every single day… one was a gift from my grandmother several years ago, and one is a sterling silver knot design that also has sentimental value.
