***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

The only real jewellery that I wear everday would by my engagement that I’ve had for just under a year (I stare at it because it sparkles so much) and my two pair of earrings (I wear the same two pair everyday – I never take them out).
I have necklaces that I change up every once in a while, but my favourite would be a sterling silver chain with a sterling silver butterfly. :)

Stefanie says
Oooh Shiny!
I hate to admit that I don’t even wear my engagement and wedding rings every day… they have been replaced by a single (and smaller) antique band my husband gave me for a birthday present a few years ago. This ring is much simpler and more comfortable. Most days, I also wear small silver hoop earrings.

Jamie Stenz says
OOOH Shiny!
I wear my mom’s wedding ring everyday that I also use as my wedding ring. My grandfather was a jeweler and he made it for my father to give to my mother (they eloped actually). She passed away when I was 9 months old and I received it on my 21st birthday from my grandparents. They offered it to my older brother when he was getting married and he told them to save it for me.
My husband graciously accepted that I wanted to wear my mom’s ring as my own.
Jennifer H. says
Ooooh, shiny! I wear my wedding band every day!
Amy says
OOOH SHINY!!!
Both my huz and I are cops, so every day I wear a pendant he gave me that has both our badges engraved on it with the words “with all my love, to keep you safe.” I know that so long as I’m wearing it, we will both make it home safely at the end of the day.
KristenH says
OOOH SHINY! I have three pieces that I wear on a daily basis, and I actually never take them off; my wedding rings, a pair of diamond stud earrings that were a Valentine’s gift from the husband and another pair of diamond studs that were a Christmas gift from my parents a long time ago.
Arlene says
OOOH SHINY!!!!
I wear my wedding rings everyday, and the claddagh ring my mom gave me when I graduated high school =)

Cassie I. says
OOOH SHINY!
I don’t have any pieces I wear everyday but a few pieces that I wear for specific reasons. A ring that was my grandmother’s when I need some extra emotional support. A ring I bought with my very first paycheck when I need to be reminded to work extra hard. My katespade “give it a whirl” bangle on first dates (always) to remind me to be adventurous.
