***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

Purnima says
I always wear my engagement ring – and since I chose not to get a wedding band, I’m constantly asked when I’m going to get married and get to surprise people by telling them I’ve been married for 8 years!
Christina says
OOOH SHINY! I wear my wedding ring, a necklace my hubby got me on our first valentines day and a birthstone ring her gave me our first married Christmas every day.
Becky says
OOOH SHINY!- I always wear my wedding band and engagement ring
Vicki Martens says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my engagement ring that my husband designed himself! It’s a beautiful ring, but the fact that he put the time, eneregy, and thought into designing it makes it SUPER special.
marjorie says
OOOH SHINY! I used to wear lots of jewelry but now it is pretty much just my wedding band.

OOOH SHINY!!! I wear my wedding and engagement ring every day.
Jenn says
Oooh Shiny!
I wear several pieces daily: my engagement band of channel set princess cut diamonds and a pair of matching tiny hoop earrings. I used to have a wide wedding band to stack on my engagement band, but it’s still a little tight from my somewhat recent pregnancy…so my husband bought me a small stacking ring with 3 tiny rubies pave set into it (the 3 rubies represent myself, him and our new daughter as we are all born within the same 3 days in July).
I love bangles and bracelets though, try to switch out some fun ones frequently ;) and cocktail rings, can never have too much bling
Carly says
OOH SHINY!
I wear my engagement ring everyday, and I’ll wear my wedding ring once we’re married. I also wear diamond stud earrings that belonged to my grandma. I was told they’re the only real diamonds my grandpa actually bought her (she didn’t like jewelry) so I thought they’d both like knowing that I enjoy wearing them so much!
Katie C says
OOOH SHINY! I have a claddagh necklace that my grandmother gave me that I wear nearly every day.
Rachael says
Oooh, shiny!! Every day I can’t leave the house without my wedding rings as well as my grandmother’s wedding rings. My mother presented them to me on my wedding day and I’ve treasured them ever since. They are a link to the past in the present, and a sign of the future that lies ahead with my husband.
Margaret says
“OOOH SHINY!”
Samantha says
OOOH SHINY!!
I wear the ring my boyfriend got me for my birthday. It was a promise ring that his father had given his mother so it’s very symbolic for us. :)
Cassie says
Ooooh Shiny!
(Other than my wedding band) I have a ring I wear on my right hand, middle finger, that I got from lost-and-found at one of my college jobs. It’s simple with some braided lines. Silver, Pretty, and Free! Yay :)
Christy Bryan says
Oooh Shiny!
I always wear my wedding/engagement ring of course. And I almost always wear my pearl earrings, I hardly change them out for any other pair because they are just so classic and timeless and go with anything from jeans to formal wear! The one thing I do change is a necklace, I love necklaces, love love love and would love to win this!

Lindsey Zwerneman says
OOOO SHINY! I wear my confirmation ring everyday. Basically, in the Lutheran Church you have this public pronouncement of your faith called confirmation, and afterward you go celebrate with your extended family. My mom and dad gave me a beautiful James Avery fish ring when I was 12 that I never take off no matter what!
heather says

Annette Young says
Oooohhh shiny!!! I wear my gorgeous wedding ring that my awesome hubs picked out all by himself. However, I wear it on my pinky for the time being, because alas, after popping out 3 babies in less than 3 years, it doesn’t fit my ring finger. lol
Brittany says
Ooohhhh shiny!
My wedding ring is on daily and I have a Rey special necklace I made from a rock.
My grandfather carried this rock I gave him 12 years ago in his pocket for good luck, everyday until he went into the hospital in July of 2010. He passed in Aug 2010 and I made the rock into a necklace so I could keep it with my. :)
Heather says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear the promise ring my boyfriend gave me when we were in high school, everyday :)I also wear the ring my grandmother gave me when I graduated, she knew that I didn’t get a class ring so she found an antique moonstone ring for me. I love them both and those pieces of jewelry are the two things I ALWAYS have one me :)

Nicole says
“OOOH SHINY” aside from the wedding and engagement ring, I where a small, delicate, silver “Dogeared” wishbone necklace. It was a purchased during a fundraiser for breast cancer and I bought one each for my long time (elementary school) friends to support the cause and to always remember how lucky we are to still have our friend with us. She is a breast cancer survivor!

Rebecca says
OOOOH SHINY!
I tend to change my mind every few months about what I want my daily jewelry to be. Currently, I have a ring that I got one christmas from my mom, a bracelet with brown leather and some sort of pearly heart shaped stone with the word “Love” engraved into it (it’s just from American Eagle, but I get a surprising amount of compliments on it), and a lavender wrist watch (the band of which is becoming very unfortunately beat up since I’ve started wearing it constantly).
