***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

I have a silver double band ring with pave diamonds that I bought myself from David Yurman when I got a new job a few years back. I figured every girl needs some diamonds even if they are small :)

I wear my wedding/engagement rings everyday, which are, of course, very special to me, but I also wear a birthstone ring that my grandma got me for my 16th birthday on my right hand. My mom had to remind me NOT to wear it on my wedding day because I feel so weird without it!

I only wear my wedding ring daily. My other favorite piece is my grandma’s replacement wedding ring.. It’s a opal surrounded by small diamonds. My grandpa bought her the replacement after my great-grandmother had flushed her original ring down the toilet! She flushed it on purpose too… she had dementia and thought it was possessed!

Besides my engagement and wedding rings, I wear the same pair of tiny silver hoop earrings and a silver CTR (Choose The Right) ring. Except instead of having the English letter acronym, it is the Chinese character for courage.

Oooh shiny! Am so thrilled this is an international give-a-way! I wear two rings on a daily basis. One is my birthstone which my Nan bought me for christmas one year. The other is a ring that I bought in Bangkok, Thailand when I was doing a year long trip around South East Asia. Neither are partcularly valuable, but both mean so much to me sentimentally.

Rachel says
“OOOH SHINY!
I always wear my engagement ring and wedding band :) I also looooooove earrings. But I like ’em really big so I don’t wear them in the house or they’d get in the way of important things like cleaning (or, who am I kidding, lounging).
