***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 *should* wear my Nana’s old ring that was originally her mom’s, I think, everyday, but I love it so much that I’m terrified of losing it! So I only wear it every now and then.
Heidi says
OOOH Shiny!
I’m not much of a jewelry person, but I have four things I wear every day. The first is my engagement ring that I’ve been rocking since 2005. The second is my wedding band. The third is a big green amethyst and black diamond ring that I got when I passed my grad school exams. Finally, my watch. I feel absolutely lost any time I forget to put on any of my core four.
Anna says
Ooooooh shiny! I have too much jewelry to just pick one item every day. Well, except for the good ol’ wedding ring!

The constants are the wedding band welded to engagement ring and my watch. I like coordinating my earrings to my outfit though!

Amanda@reno366 says
OOOH SHINY!!!

OOOH SHINY!
I always wear a ring on my left ring finger…whether it’s my engagement and wedding rings or a plain gold band(since I wear gloves at work a lot).
Jennifer says
ooooh shiny!
i always have my wedding rings on [except for last month when my fingers were too swollen due to being 9 months pregnant]. I also currently always have on my diamond earings [my 1st mothers day gift & my daughter’s birthstone] along with my tiffany j necklace and bracelet… mainly because I’m too lazy to take them off
Jenn says
OOOHHH Shiny!!!
I have two things that I wear almost every day. One is a simple silver chain with a diamond pendant on it. It’s not a real diamond, but still looks classic. The other is not really a piece of jewelry. It’s a wristband in honor of one of my students that died last year. He collapsed in front of me after a basketball game and it’s a constant remind of what an awesome kid he was, how much he meant to our school and how important it is to have an AED on hand at all times. (Sorry if that was a bummer comment at the end! haha)
sarah r. says
OOOH SHINY!!
I of course wear my shiny wedding ring daily… i also wear my grandma’s ring daily. :)

I wear my wedding band and engagement rings everyday. Most days I’ll wear my watch too.

Missy Boeke says
OOOH Shiny! I wear my wedding ring and a ring that my husband gave me for Christmas.
Brandy says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear a simple silver watch (almost) every day because it goes with just about all of my jewelry…I’m pretty sure if you break it down in cost per wear, the watch is paying me now.
Ashley W. says
Ooh shiny!
I wear my engagement ring, wedding band & (not the same pair everyday) but I can’t leave the house without earrings!
Liesl says
OOOH SHINY!!
I wear my engagement ring and wedding band everyday :) The others, I like to rotate out. I do have a heart-shaped locket that my sweet hubby gave me on our wedding day, so I go in phases where I wear that every day for months at a time.

Amber says
Ohhhh Shiny!!!!
I used to wear my wedding rings and nose ring every day but randomly took my nose ring out last week and have decided I am going to let the hole close over. I think this means I’m a grown up?
