***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 grandmother’s ring everyday. I used to only wear it on special occasions but then lost it for a period of about 6 months. Ever since I found it I wear it ever day!
Ellen says
OOOH SHINY!
I keep in my diamond studs. I bought one with some money my grandmother left me when she passed away and my husband bought the other :)

OOOH SHINY! My wedding bands and a cross ring that my parents gave me while I was in high school.

OOOh Shiny! I wear my engagement ring and wedding ring every day…
Steph T. says
Ooh Shiny! I always wear my Wedding Ring ( that is unless I’ve left it in the ring holder after my shower) and I will usually add a necklace to finish an outfit. :)
Vera says
I looooove those light pink earrings! I wear my wedding ring everyday and whatever earrings go with my outfit. If I’m not wearing earrings that means I had a rough morning :-)
Emily Gardner says
OOOH SHINY
I wear my wedding band everyday. Nothing real fancy, just plain and simple. But I like to jazz it up with cool jewelry every now and again.
Lauren M says
Oooo, SHINY! Every day I wear my dad’s signet ring, given to him by his parents when he graduated high school. It’s too small for him now.
Melissa says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my engagement ring every day (I’ll get the wedding band when I get married in June) along with my class ring from my alma mater. I can’t go a few days without either wearing my silver ball stud earrings- they just go with everything!
Michelle says
OOOH SHINY!
Love this giveaway! I think DIY-ed jewelery totally counts. I wear a pair of diamond studs my mom gave me every day — we live across the country now and I always think of her when I see them in the mirror :)
Kelly says
OOOH SHINY!
Everyday I wear my wedding ring, the first ring that my Dad ever gave to my Mom, the earrings my husband gave me on our wedding day, and a necklace from etsy with a tiny tag and letter K stamped on it.
Alicia says
OOOH SHINY!!
I wear my wedding ring at all times….sleep, shower, working out, ALWAYS on, and my hubby does too :)
Susan says
Oooh, Shiny. I wear my engagement and wedding rings everyday.
Vera says
OOOh shiny… I need to read directions :-(

OOOH SHINY! I wear my glasses everyday. They’re still a relatively new accessory to me, so I guess I like wearing them.
OntarioGirl says
OHH SHINY!
The only jewellery I wear EVERY day is my wedding ring but I love adding a necklace or earrings if I’m going out. Would love to wear more bracelets!
This jewellery is gorgeous!!
Madison says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear two rings both from special times in my life from my parents. Everything else I switch out from time to time. I love new jewelry!!
JM says
OOOh Shiny! I wear a necklace with a single diamond pendant just about every day. Its very classic and goes with everything.
Kelly says
oooh shiny!
I never leave home without my David Yurman ring that is my brother’s birthstone. My girlfriends chipped in and bought it for me as a reminder of him after he passed away. AND, I never leave home without my wedding rings now. I’ve been married 3 weeks and haven’t been without them since!
Kat says
OOOH shiny! I wear my wedding rings and a watch every day, but I take them all off as soon as I’m at home. I guess because I spend so much time in the kitchen and it gets messy!
Andrea says
Oh shiny! I wear my engagement ring and wedding band every day
JanetL says
Oooh Shiny!
A watch. `Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!’
Alana says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding ring almost everyday. But that’s it. Two little ones make it hard to coordinate jewelry everyday!
erin says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear the same rings every day and night. A plain silver band and a Claddagh ring. I never take them off and haven’t since I got them my senior year of high school… 1999-2000 :)
Lindsey says
OOOH SHINY
I where my wedding rings everyday during the week. During the weekend I like to spice it up!
Andrea says
ooh SHINY! I never take my engagement/wedding ring combo off. I know some people do when they swim/shower/wash dishes, etc – but I know I’d be more likely to lose it if I was taking it off for this and that! I purposely had the stone set with a half bevel so it could stand up to anything – I wear it on long hiking trips and when I garden – everything! :)
Sarah says
OHH Shiny!
I wear my wedding rings everyday and have a few staples I wear a lot or swap between (and of course a ton of costume jewelry too). I used to have a heart charm bracelets with the initials of my grandfathers on them that I wore everyday until it broke :-( I keep meaning to replace it but haven’t got around to it yet
Brianne says
OHHH, SHINY!!!
For sure always my wedding ring. I feel strangely naked if I ever forget it.
Amanda says
Ohhh Shiny!
I wear my wedding and engagement rings everyday. There is something comforting with having them on… when I was pregnant my fingers swelled and I ended up wearing another ring on my left hand but I always had something there!
Nikol says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my engagement ring and wedding band every day. My husband and I named the pair sparkly shiny and I smile every time I look at them … for the past 10 years.
heather says
hmmmmm i wear my wedding ring every day AND a pair of pearl earrings (that i used to hate but now love love love) since my babe will rip anything bigger out. OOOH SHINY! from italy!
Courtney says
OOOH SHINY!!!
I always wear my engagement & wedding ring, a ring that was a Christmas gift from my hubby and a watch that was a graduation gift from my parents. I love to switch out earrings and bracelets though!
Melissa says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear an opal/diamond set white gold ring that was my grandma’s every single day. I actually never take it off except to clean it!

Oooh Shiny!! wedding band never comes off! (its actually kinda tight…don’t know if I could get it off!!)

Catherine says
OOOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding band everyday and a charm bracelet that has charms with my kids names on it.
Rachel says
OOOOHHH SHINY!!!!
Besides my wedding band and engagement ring I always wear my name ring. It was something that was given to me by my grandparents for my bat-mitzvah. The original was actually stolen during gym class in high school, but she luckily got me another one to replace it. It always reminds me of them and now that I dont get to see them as often it always keeps them in my mind.
Michelle says
OOOH SHINY!
silver pearl earrings!
Joelle says
OOOH SHINY!

My wedding ring and a heart necklace that was a gift from my aunt many years ago.
Rebe says
OOOH SHINY!
I don’t have anything I wear everyday but I love rings and necklaces. If I win I might even be inspired to (finally) get my ears pierced!
Katie says
OOOH SHINY!
I always wear my wedding rings! And, 90% of the time I wear a watch, too!
Ashley Parlier says
OOOH SHINY!
i seem to pull my hair back everyday, so i don’t leave the house without a hair tie on my finger.
Julie says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding ring and engagement ring every day (or else my husband would probably wonder!) and a ring on my right ring finger that the other man in my life, my dad, got me for college graduation.
Casey says
OOOH SHINY!

Paige says
OOOH SHINY!
My wedding set and glasses. Plain and simple.
Meghan says
OOOH SHINY! I wear my wedding bands everyday. And, most days you’ll find me wearing an antique pin that was either my grandmothers – or someone’s grandmothers that I picked up at an antique store.
Robin says
Oooh Shiny! :)
I actually do have a piece I wear everyday! But i’d love to buy something! Perhaps a ring with my son’s birthstone!
