***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!”
Yes I wear my wedding rings daily, NEVER take them off, except for cleaning and prong build up. *same rings for over 36 years. :-)* I also wear diamond earrings, in my second piercings. *from hubby for Valentines Day one year.* They stay in my ears always too, except for cleaning them from time to time. My husband LOVES to buy NICE jewelry, but I like the less expensive kind. ;-) I wear on my right hand, daily, a ruby and diamond ring. My hubby surprised me with that ring, a couple years ago on Valentines Day. I do LOVE it.

Mel V. says
OOOH SHINY!
When we’d been dating for about a year, I asked my now-husband for a claddaugh ring as a keepsake before I flew home for the summer. I wear it on the first finger of my right hand, it’s more meaningful to me than my wedding ring.
Other than that, I don’t wear a lot of jewelry. I’d love the opportunity to add some glitter to my wardrobe!
Karen says

OOOH SHINY! I wear my wedding and engagement rings every day and I love them! I chose my wedding band because it was similar to my grandmother’s and mom’s wedding bands (gold edging, white gold around the band, with a floral design). It makes me happy to have that connection to my family of origin and the family my husband and I are creating.

Everyday I wear my pink gold Novo wedding band from Tiffany, a simple gold band from my favorite designer Helen Ficalora, and a charm necklace with a diamond charm, initial charm, and longboard surfing charm also from Ms. Ficalora. Interesting fact: my husband met Helen when he went to pick out my engagement ring, and she helped him choose the perfect one!

I wear my wedding band every day. Sometimes I skip the engagement ring depending on where I’m going or what I’m doing – but I always wear my wedding band.

The only constant for me are my engagement ring, wedding band and baby #1 ring, all stacked on my ring finger…poor baby two has no bling! This would help!

OOOH SHINY! Right now it is only my wedding ring as my favorite necklace was making me itch during my pregnancy. So maybe something pretty and new would make this pregnant lady sparkle again!

OOhh Shiney!
I wear my engagement ring- it means a lot to me because we got engaged in high school and are finally getting around to getting married 5 years and 2 kids later this May!
I also wear a mother/daughter necklace or a mother/daughter bracelet that my mom got me- they means a lot to me and are a constant reminder to be the best mother I can to my own 2 daughters.
