***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

Tricia says
OOOH SHINY!
Hey, I would have said that even if not told to do so. Loving the giveaway and the jewelry! There is not a piece of jewelry I wear every day anymore. It was my wedding band, but I hurt my left ring finger and haven’t been wearing it lately. However, my mom died in June and I have been trying to wear something of hers on most days now.

Laura says
OOH SHINY! I don’t have a piece that I wear everyday at the moment, but I have had various pieces that my boyfriend has given me that I used to wear everyday (only stopped bc I was afraid to scratch them up too badly!).
Delana says
OOOH SHINY I wear my wedding band and engagement ring every day.
Lisa B says
Oooh Shiny!
I wear my wedding rings as often as possible. I can’t wear them to work cause I have to wash my hands a thousand times and they get water under them and then they itch.
Kara says
OOOH SHINY!
I’ve been wearing my engagement ring since I got it three months ago :) But on my other ring finger I wear a special family ring. My mom got a new wedding ring for my parent’s 25th wedding anniversary the year I graduated from high school and my sister graduated from college, so she took the diamonds from her old ring and had them set with a sapphire, making matching rings for my sister and me. We’ve both worn them every day for almost 7 years.
Sarah M. says
OOOH, SHINY!
I wear a small diamond pendant my husband gave me for vour first Valentine’s Day (back when we started dating.) We were living on opposite sides of the country and he actually risked sending it in the mail so that I would be surprised.
Allison says
OOOH SHINY!!!
The ol’ jewelry standbys are my engagement and wedding rings, and a Cape Cod bracelet. My mom and I waited in line at the famed Eden jewelers on Cape Cod to celebrate her 50th birthday and my graduation from college. We’ve both worn them ever since.
Melanie says
“OOOH SHINY!”
I wear my wedding ring everyday of course and always earrings but those tend to change depending on my mood.

I wear my wedding ring (band and engagement ring) every single day without fail.

Jill says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my engagement ring, along with a silver band I’ve had since about grade 9 (I’m now 33) that I’m using as my wedding band until we can swing the matching band to the engagement ring. I take them off to play hockey, but other than that they never leave my hand.

OOOH SHINY!!! The only items of jewelry I wear everyday are my wedding band and engagement ring. I am a simple girl, but these rings mean the world to me!

OOOH SHINY! I’m having trouble containing my excitement about this giveaway- it’s too good to be true!! I wear my engagement ring (that my DH spent four months picking out) and my wedding band (that matches, but is much smaller than, my husband’s band). They are beautiful. I also almost always where a watch that he gave me that has the numbers stitched on in needle point on the face.
Katie says
OOH SHINY!!! And every day I wear, in addition to my wedding and engagement rings, the earrings my husband gave me on our wedding day – they came with the most perfect love letter that I have ever read and they remind my of the best day of my life :)

OOOH SHINY!
Besides my wedding and engagement rings, I’ve been wearing a bracelet I bought at the Tower of London for the past 10+ years. I’m so superstitious I can’t have a good day without it on!

Jen says
ooooh shiny!! i wear my wedding ring every day! :)
amc says
ooh shiny!
My sisters and I (and a few very close friends) all have a rather unusual ear piercing. It’s a tradition to get it on your 18th birthday. I have been wearing it for 10 years now!
Jenn says
OOOH SHINY!
The only thing that stays constant every day is a silver bead Tiffany bracelet that I got from my husband. Every thing else gets changed up daily.
Molly says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear two rings every day. My engagement ring is totally nontraditional and features a green tsavorite center stone. My wedding band came from the same jeweler but was an estate piece. Whoever the original owner was (the store wouldn’t spill the beans) engraved the word “Love” and their initials into the band, so I had them do the same once they resized it for my finger. I love wearing a little piece of local history!
somebody says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear a silver ring everyday, one I exchanged with my fiancé on our first anniversary.
