***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 wedding ring/engagement ring everyday and some sort of earrings. I love adding necklaces when I remember (and now that both of my kids are old enough not to rip them from my neck).
Kristin Hernandez says
OOOH SHINY!!!
Everyday I wear my wedding band & engagement ring and I also wear my pearl earrings that were a birthday gift from my husband before we married. They’re the earrings I wore to our wedding (and pretty much every major event since). :)

OOOH SHINY!!!
I wear my wedding rings without fail but love to change it up with the rest of my jewelry. Lately I’ve been wearing this gorgeous blue ring that was a gift from my aunt- it’s spectacular.
Dawn says
Oooh Shiny! :)
diamonds are a girls best friend, especially when they’ve been lovingly designed by my DH (dear hubby) into the most PERFECT setting EVER! I wear my plain (engraved inside with our names and wedding date) wedding band, closest to my heart, then my engagement ring, which my hubby designed with our jeweler and the third is stacked against the first two, an eternity band of diamonds (typically saved for a special anniversary) BUT my DH couldn’t wait and surprised me with it when he saw me for the first time, tears in his eyes on our wedding day! Sigh! I LOVE this man!!

Oooh, Shiny! I wear my wedding ring every day & a tiny silver sparrow necklace that I absolutely adore.
Janelle says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear earrings every day (though not the same pair) because in high school my friend’s mother said they were the best way to express your femininity. I disagree with that sentiment now but what I love about earrings is that no matter how big or small you get earrings will never betray you.
Anne L. says
OOOH SHINY! I wear my watch every day. It’s amazing a feel I a little more nekkid without it.
Courtney says
Ooooh Shiny!
I wear my wedding rings pretty much every single day. Also, I’ve got an amethyst ring, a peridot pendant (my daughter’s birthstones and gifts from my hubby when they were each born) and a charm initial necklace that I alternate. Always have a reminder of my daughters and hubby with me!
Gemma says
Everyday I wear a silver chain with a little silver turtle hanging on it from a local jewellery store. It was the first jewellery gift I received from my boyfriend, and when I first unwrapped it I kind of hated it (I mean, animal necklace?). But I put it on anyway, I learned to love it instantly and now I feel kinda sad if I’m ever without it!
Michelle says
OOOH SHINY!!
I never leave the house without wearing my engagement ring and wedding band along with my movado watch that my husband has the “his” version of :)
erica says

Adecia says
OOOH SHINY! I wear a watch – gotta know what time it is.
This is a great giveaway!
Natacha da Silva says
“OOOH SHINY!”
Growing up I always remember my mom wearing this one thin silver bracelet. She wore it all the time, washing dishes, going out, sleeping, I loved it because it was her. After having my daughter I was determined to have something she could have as a memory of growing up with me as her mom like I had my mom’s bracelet. I always wear a thin silver charm bracelet my husband gave me just before we got married, I’m hoping it means as much to my daughter as my mom’s silver bracelet meant to me growing up.
Angela B. says

OOOH SHINY! Just my wedding ring everyday, everything else changes!
Heather J. says
OOOH SHINY!
What beautiful jewelry! Everyday, I wear my wedding set, which I love and which I had (almost) no hand in selecting. He did a great job! I also wear my watch everyday, a classic silver, round-faced Tissot that my husband bought for me before we were married and when we were way too broke for him to be buying me such things. And it keeps on ticking – I’ve been wearing it every day for eight years!
Jennifer W says

Brittany Kay says
OOOH SHINY!
I always wear my wedding ring and a watch.
Christie Fletcher says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding band everyday. It’s funny how you can be without something for 26 years and suddenly feel like you’re not yourself if you don’t have it…I feel that way about my wedding band and come to think of it, that’s exactly how I feel about my husband :)
Ashley says
Oooooooooooh shiny!
