***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

OoOoH SHINY!
I mix it up on a daily basis BUT when I exercise (road bike, run, ski) I always wear these HUGE cz stud earrings. They crack me up and are the perfect ironic bling to go with all my killer scars.
whitney campbell says
Ooooh shiny!
I (of course) wear my wedding ring all the time, but unlike some ladies, I also wear my engagment ring every day, and I still stare at it after having it for 3.5 years. It’s not a huge diamond – just the perfect size for college students – but I love the style, and I remember so vividly how we were when we were dating during that time. It reminds me of the 2 happiest days of my life.

Kirsten says
OOOH SHINY! A piece of jewelry I wear every day is a diamond necklace. My husband, than boyfriend, bought it for me. We were at dinner in a restaurant that was attached to a mall, and during dinner he said he had to go to the bathroom. He left, and was gone for an incredibly long time. I was starting to get concerned that he might be having “bathroom issues” and was wondering if I should go check on him, when he returned. I asked him jokingly if he “fell in” … and he handed me the necklace, which he had snuck into the mall to buy for me. I was so shocked!

Jessica G says
OOOH SHINY!
I have two items I wear every day. One is a silver band with a tiny gold star and “believe” etched on it. I wear it on my ring finger despite being single. I wear it to remind myself to believe in myself, in my God, and to trust that He has the right person picked out for me to remove that ring for a shinier kind. :) The other piece of jewelry I wear is a silver heart silhouette charm necklace.
I would also say that I love Erin’s pieces..I’ve met her and love her. She’s such a sweet girl..southern at heart for sure! I own and have gifted some of her pieces…I’d love some more pieces to add to my collection! :)
Karen says

PS gotta love an international giveaway!

OOOH SHINY!!
My favorite piece of jewelry is a beautiful pearl ring that I was given when I graduated from college. I am a painter, so I don’t get to wear nice things everyday, but anytime I am not near paint I have it on.
Sara says
OOOH SHINY!

OOH SHINY!

Sydney says
OOOH SHINY!!
I’m super-boring and wear all the same simple stuff every day: silver band rings, a watch, silver ball earrings and a necklace. The necklace is actually the only jewelry my boyfriend’s ever given me, and I had to win a bet and drag him to the store to make him buy it for me. I like to wear it every day so he might be encouraged to repeat this action – but without the part where I have to win a bet and drag him into the jewelry store.
Robyn R. says
OOOH SHINY! I wear my engagement ring and wedding band every single day – putting them both on is the single best part of my day – everyday. Always makes me smile. :)

Ooh shiny!
I wear the same three pieces of jewelry every day- diamond earrings my dad gave me for my 16th birthday, a watch that my parents gave me for my 18th birthday, and a charm bracelet my mom gave me for my 30th birthday. Since those pieces are constant, I like to play with fun necklaces and other bracelets.
Melissa Alas says
“OOOH SHINY!” The thing I wear every single day are my glasses, not that exciting, but seeing is a good thing..lol
Lauren says
OOH SHINY!
I wear two things every day, my wedding/engagement ring combo and a pair of diamond earrings that my husband gave me as a Christmas gift 5 years ago.
Alison @ Welcome Sunshine Home says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding rings and a pair of diamond hoop earrings (anniversary gift from hubby) every single day. I can’t stand heavy earrings so he found some cute (and light!) ones that I love. So thoughtful of him. :) I mix things up with fun necklaces and bracelets.
Have a shiny day!
