***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 literally never take off a pearl ring (my birthstone), a gift from my mom on my 18th birthday. Pearls are too delicate for everyday wear, so it was damaged years and years ago, but I love it as is.

OOOH SHINY!
The only thing I wear every day is my watch.
Marie says
OOOH SHINY!
I do wear a ring, a necklace and earrings every single day, since I got them from my boyfriend and I guess wearing them is the best way to thank him. Especially the ring means a lot to me, because he went to so much trouble giving it to me (even asking my dad beforehand, though it’s “just” a ring standing for our relationship, not engagement).

“OOOOOOOOHHHHH SHINY!!!”
That’s too many ooooooo’s…but it deserves it!! I wear my engagement ring every day, even at night. My husband designed it himself and had it made, so it’s truly from HIM, and that makes it so special to me. In fact, I didn’t even care about a wedding ring because I loved it so much!! Hope i win pick me!!!!

Laura says
Ooooooooooh shiny!!!!
My wedding band is a ring that was actually given to me by my husband for my birthday. Eight years later we got around to getting married. He wanted to get me something new for a wedding band but I said no. The ring that I had worn through all of the ups and downs of those years meant more than something new & shiny could ever mean to me.
Beth says
OOOH! SHINY!
I wear my engagement and wedding rings every day. Otherwise… I’m usually have jewelry on, but it changes and sometimes I forget altogether. But, I often wear a watch, and at least earrings. I have a lot of things that I’ve collected in my travels, so often wear those things. My absolute favorite piece is am Amber Heart pendant on a silver chair that my husband bought me on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, Italy.
