***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 a simple necklace with a heart pendant all the time. It reminds me of all the love I have in my life from my family and friends.
Clare says
OOOH SHINY!!!
I love wearing a pearl that my grandmother gave me. It was from a string of pearls her great aunt had given her. She gave each of her daughters and granddaughters a single pearl, which she had redone as pendants.
Kerrie says
OOOH SHINY! I don’t wear a ton of jewelry, but I am digging those first earings.
On a side note… idk why I always want to spell shiny, “shiney” :)
Marcy says
OOOH SHINY! I usually put on my braided pink leather Pandora bracelet every day. I haven’t bought any charms for it yet but I like the simple look of the bracelet alone.
Hannah K says
OOOH SHINY!
I have been married for 4 month now so my wedding ring is a new everyday addition for me!
Alison says
ooooh, shiny! Everyday wear: wedding band/engagement ring/iron ring/and something from my necklace collection!
Joelle says
Ooooh shiny!
my wedding ring and same diamond studs on a daily basis (but change it up when I go out to dinner or something)
Emily says
OOH SHINY!! I wear a thick silver ring that has lots of details and sparklies. I get a ton of compliments on it and the best thing is that I only paid $12 for it!
Cris says
OOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding ring every day.
Abby says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding ring and David Yurman ring (green and gold for my college alma mater) every day! I also have a black pearl necklace that I wear all the time that my sweet husband bought for me while we were on our honeymoon in Fiji. He kept it a secret from me for a whole year and gave it to me on our 1 year anniversary. He’s a keeper!
Amy Wolff says
oooooohhh shinny!
I have a thing for Brighton jewelry along with my wedding ring, of course!
Molly Leutz says
Ooh Shiny!
I always wear a gold charm bracelet with just one charm. A silhouette of a little boy’s head and my husband’s name and birth date on it. His Mom gave it to me when his Grandma passed away. People always ask if it’s my child – and maybe someday I’ll add more little heads. But it’s sweet and reminds me of him all the time. Plus, I will never forget his birthday. Which is a bonus.
Jennifer says
OOOH SHINY! I wear my wedding rings and one of my watches every day. But, I love jewelry so much I hate to repeat something every single day!
Camille says
OOOH SHINY!

Oooh shiny!
I don’t have one piece of jewelry I wear every day (I like to mix it up!), but I feel almost-naked if I’m not wearing earrings!
Sara Hinton says
OOOH SHINY!
I’m a newlywed, so naturally my wedding bands and engagement are a must every day. :) But I also have a set of small diamond hoops from the hubby from back in the day when we were dating that I love to wear all the time.
Courtney says
OOOH SHINY!!
I wear my wedding band and engagement ring everyday. I also always wear a watch, but not always the same one!
Love the stores above they look great!

Gunilla says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my engagement and wedding rings every day, which is still new and very special for me as I just got married this past May. I also used to wear a pretty silver bracelet my husband gave me about a month into our courtship, but unfortunately it broke about a month ago. Would be fun to shop for a new bracelet made by these amazing designers!
Andrea says
oooh shiny!
I wear my wedding band every day as well as an aquamarine ring my husband got me for my birthday last year.

OOOH SHINY!!!
I always wear my wedding rings, the necklace my heart pendant necklace my husband got me when we first started dating, and the diamond stud earrings he got me as a Christmas present a few years ago. Thankfully I have a second set of ear piercings for fun earrings!

OOOH, SHINY! I wear a heart shaped ring on my right hand. I’ve worn it every day since sometime in ’07!
Nina says
OOOH SHINY!
I always always stick to my eternity wedding band and my engagement ring! I just got married, so I thoroughly enjoy having a wedding ring to wear! Note: I absolutely see nothing wrong with mixing my white gold and yellow gold necklaces whenever I remember to put any other jewelry on! :)

KittenHD says
OOOH Shiny!
I wear a plain silver chain with an emblem of the Albanian bird on it. My sister is overseas for two years and sent it as a Christmas gift last year. Okay, I asked for it to match hers, but little did I know, so did my mom and baby sister. We all wear them now to keep her close.
Penni McNamara says
OOOH SHINY!!!! I wear the same old tired silver hoops everyday. I need this one!
kristiina says
OOOH SHINY!
I’m pretty basic–watch, wedding rings, simple earrings…and sometimes I wear a silver necklace with my kid’s names stamped…
Thanks!
SusanH says
OOH, SHINY!
I always wear my wedding band but I have a few pieces that, in spite of sharing real estate in my jewlery box with bigger, more expensive neighbors, will always travel with me wherever I roam- a silver pillar necklace, a levilier necklace that was a gift from my aunt, and a gold bracelet with textured chevrons that was one of the first pieces of jewelry my husband ever gave me.
Marisa says
OOHH SHINY! I wear my diamond earrings that I got from my husband every day. I lost one in an icy, shiny parking lot a week after I first got them, and my wonderfuly husband bought me a replacement right away.
Tracy says
Ooohhh shiny!! My wedding ring is about the only piece I wear daily, without fail.
Hilary Taylor says
OOH SHINY! I wear my wedding rings every day. Of course, I would wear them anyway, but they are extra special because they were passed from my grandma to my mom to me.
Beth says
“OOOH SHINY!”
I always wear my wedding ring.
Sarahs says
Ooooh Shiny
2 Gold bangles – 1 a 21st birthday present from my mum and one I bought myself

OOOH SHINY!

Mike says
OOOH SHINY!
Wedding ring
Erin says

Laura A. says
OOOH, SHINY!
My must is my wedding band! :)
Robyn says
OOOH SHINY!
The only things that I wear every day are my wedding rings. It seemed silly to wear a watch once I started staying at home with our daughter. However, some new jewelry could persuade me to become more blingy…
