***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

Jenna says
I wear my original wedding band on my right hand. I never take it off. After I am showered and ready to go for the day, I usually put on a pair of drop freshwater pearl earrings. On the left hand, my wedding ring, a watch and my pandora bracelet that my dearest friend gave me. After writing that it does sound a little lopsided but since I am right handed – it works. I usually wear a chunky necklace until it becomes scarf weather and then the necklaces collect dust here in Seattle.
Jenna says
I forgot to add, ooooooh shiny!!!

OOOH SHINY!
The only thing I wear every day is my engagement ring/wedding band, though I’ve had these white gold hoops in my ears for possibly a couple months straight. I’d love some new bling to inspire me to change them.
pri says
OOOH SHINY!
I never leave my house without my earrings.
Tara says
OOOHHH SHINY!!!
I used to wear a necklace from my boyfriend but it broke and we lost the pendant. I am wearing a temporary replacement necklace from my collection of them until we can afford a new one. We are not engaged or have any plans for that so we thought a nice necklace would be a great piece of everyday jewelry that could also be meaningful to us.
Edel says
OOOH SHINY!! and absolutely love this jewellery, really pretty stuff! I wear a gold ring 24/7 that my boyfriend gave me 14 years ago (i know, there should be a statute of limitations on how long you can date!! but in his defence we were quite young at the time). It wasn’t anything expensive and it’s quite worn and the little cubic zircona stones are all worn off at this stage – it reminds me that despite all the corners we’ve knocked off each other over the years, we’re still solid and shiny.
Elizabeth says
Ooooh Shiny! I’m a watch wearer, everyday.
VickiP says
Ooh, shiny!
Each day I wear my wedding rings and a pair of earrings we bought on our honeymoon to Croatia – which are the local style of jewelry from the region.
Allison says
Oooh Shiny!
I always wear my wedding rings and the same old pair of stud earrings I’ve had since the summer before 8th grade! I always wear a necklace, but I switch back and forth between two-either a gold chain with a single pearl or a silver locket with a picture of my hubby and my baby.
caitlin says
OOH Shiny!! I wear my wedding ring.
Heather F. says
Oooh!! Shiny!! Love the look of all of that bling! I wear my wedding ring every day and would LOVE to add some more jewelry to my non-existent jewelry armoire!
kschurrer says
OOOH SHINY! I wear my super shiny, sparkly engagement ring every day!
Christy Self says
Ooh Shiny! I wear my watch and my wedding/engagement rings every day. My watch because I feel lost without it and my rings because it makes me feel more connected to my husband even though we work different hours and don’t get to see each other very often.
Cynda says
OOH SHINY! Please :)
I have my wedding ring everday, and 97% of the time a bobby pin in my hair. It drives me crazy to have hair in my face!

OOOH SHINY!!
I wear my wedding rings every single day. The only time I didn’t was when I was preggo and mucho chubbo, I wore them on a necklace then.
