***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

Jennifer B. says
OOOH SHINY!
My everyday jewelry includes: my wedding ring, engagement ring, a ring that says “Semper Honorablus” (which means “always honorable” – from my internship graduation), and a pair of diamond stud earrings that I bought for myself my senior year of high school because “I didn’t need a man to buy me jewelry” at the time. :)
Tabitha says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding/engagement ring every day – I still catch myself sighing as I look at it sparkle. LOVE its vintage look.

OOOH SHINY! I have two rings that I wear everyday on the same finger. One is a large pink sapphire that my pops got me for my 17th birthday. The other is a smaller band that is small diamonds and pink sapphires (alternating) that he gave to me the day I graduated from college. That finger is dedicated to my dad!
Stacie W. says

Callie Jennings says
Ooh! ShinY!
I used to wear my wedding and engagement rings every day, but since my hands swelled up with this pregnancy (due on Thursday!!! AAAAAh!), I have been wearing a horse shoe nail ring that I picked up in Nauvoo IL. They call them “prairie diamonds” ha ha.
Deri says
OOOOH SHINY!
I wear my engagement/wedding rings everyday! I also wear a necklace from etsy that my husband got me as a gift after having our 17-month-old son. It has a “J” on a small gold disk. I love it!
Erin Johnson says
OOOH SHINY!! i don’t necessarily wear one piece of jewelry every day, i do switch back and forth a little between a couple necklaces and a ring, lovely things that remind me of my mom since she’s the one that gifted them to me. i do, however, almost always have a pair of scissors in my back pocket during the working day, does that count?
Molly says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear some form of my wedding rings every day. I have my solitaire engagement ring, my wedding band with channel set diamonds in it, and then small solid band to wear to work (I’m a nurse and bacteria get trapped in between the stones – yuck!). Always wearing at least one, if not all 3 :)
Stephanie says
OOH SHINY!

I always wear my wedding ring and engagement ring, and also my high school ring (which i’m planning to soon replace with our “family” ring)
Ashley H. says
OOOH SHINY!!!!
A piece of jewelry I wear everyday is my promise ring. My boyfriend gave it to me about 3 years ago, and since we are holding out on marriage until I finish school, the ring is our promise to be together forever {sounds cheesy I know, but that’s what happens when you’re in love :)}
Sarah says
OOOH SHINY!!
I don’t have any everyday piece of jewelry but I do have a necklace that was a bridesmaids gift that I wear more than anything else.
Wendy B says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding rings everyday
Kat Rudberg says
OOOH SHINY!
There isn’t a piece of jewelry I wear everyday but I do have a favorite pair of earrings that I always go back to. I bought them in Mexico what I was eight (with the help of my mother) and promptly forgot about them. I rediscovered them when I was 20 and have loved them ever since. Who knew I had such good taste as a kid?
Heather says
OOOH SHINY! I wear my wedding ring and my engagement ring. The engagement ring is on my right hand because the wedding ring design doesn’t really allow them to attach.
Christa M says
OOOH SHINY! I love sparkles! I have one pair of earrings that are my everyday pair…
jordan says
OOOH SHINY!
i wear a “J” tiffany necklace that my girlfriend gave to me every day :)
Stephanie D. says
Oooh, shiny!
I don’t like rings, so I never wear my wedding ring. The only thing I can guarantee I wear every day is underwear and some form of clothing.
Kim P says
OOOH SHINY! No! I even forget my wedding ring half the time!
Meagan Lewis says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear a long, pendant necklace almost every day. It’s not always the same one, but I only have a couple that I alternate. I’d love to add more to the collection!
Heather Stahl says
OOOH SHINY!!!
I almost always wear a spoon ring that my mother made for me after I lost one that I’d had since I was a little girl… It reminds me just how much she cares for me!
Danielle Phillips says
OHHHH SHINY!!!!
I wear 4 pieces of jewelry everyday; My wedding ring, engagement ring, my grandmother’s wedding band on my right hand and a necklace made from my mom’s original engagement ring.
Michelle says
OOOH SHINY!
I never leave home without my wedding rings and I also love my Golden Isles “Affinity” bracelet that I wear almost everyday. It’s from http://www.gibcobracelets.com/bracelets.html. My MIL got each of her daughter-in-laws one. I love mine and I love that I have a great MIL! I’m sure I could find a couple of new favorites with the help of these gift cards!!Love their stuff!!
Monica says
OOOH SHINY!
Always my wedding band (unless I forget to put it on, which happens… oops!) And the same pair of earrings, which I forget about changing.
Becki C says
OOOH SHINY! The only jewelry that I wear everyday is a spinner ring that my sister bought me for my birthday a couple of years ago. I love it and wear it so often that my hand feels strange on days when I forget to put it on.
Belinda Stone says
OOH SHINY!!
I wear my right hand diamond ring every.single.minute.of.the.day. Yep. Every last one of them. :)
Beth-BTW says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding set every day that I leave the house. I *always* have two pairs of earrings and rings on two of my toes that don’t get removed unless I am having an MRI or a baby, which isn’t often. ;)
Karen says
OOOH SHINY!
I have a silver band that I wear on my thumb… it never comes off. Otherwise… all my jewelry is interchangeable.
Abra says
OOOH SHINY! I wear either my fancy engagement ring that looks like a wedding set OR my simple white gold wedding band everyday.
Stesse says
Ooooh Shiny!!!!
I wear my wedding ring (of course) on my left hand and a stainless steel Engineers Ring on the pinky of my right hand. It’s kind of a Hippocratic oath for engineers – we promise to do no harm as we design & build…
And as an engineer, I’m sure I could use more shiny in my life… working in a mostly male field, I have to over compensate on the shiny to make up for the guys!!!
Cori says
OOOH SHINY!!! I wear a six pence on a silver chain that my dad gave me on my wedding day right before he walked me down the aisle – it’s from 1925 (the year my grandfather was born [my grandfather was too sick to make it to the wedding and passed away a week later])
Katherine says
OOOH SHINY! Thanks for another great giveaway!
Lindsey S says
Oooh shiny!
I switch back and forth between two simple Tiffany’s necklaces, but I’m always wearing one or the other. And since about a month ago, I wear my engagement ring everyday.
Annie says
OOOH SHINY!
Wedding ring and diamond earrings every day. Am I predictable or what? Need to change up my look, so hoping to win this fab giveaway. Thanks!
anna says
OOOH SHINY! i wear my wedding ring and another ring that my hubby got me when we were first dating.
Caroline Fonde says
Ohh shiny!! I always wear my wedding rings! And most days my diamond studs!
Patricia Gibson says
Oooh Shiny! I wear a charm I’ve got myself for Christmas with all three of kids names on it. My wedding ring is to big and haven’t had a chance to resize it.
Katie says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear a family ring – it’s a gift that’s been passed down through the women in my family for four generations. I received it on my 20th birthday, and my daughter (or my niece if I don’t have a daughter) will get it when she turns 20.
Caitlin says
OOOH SHINY!
I always wear my Alex Woo Little Luck elephant necklace. I’m obsessed with all things elephant and it’s just too freaking adorable!
