***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’m usually a creature of habit, but ever since my eczema break out on my fingers I’ve been trying to avoid wearing my everyday rings… hmm TMI I guess?! Anyway, can’t wait till I can wear all my favorite rings again!
Laura says
OOOH SHINY!!!
I always wear the silver ring that my boyfriend got me years ago on my birthday, just a year after we started dating. He has yet to top that gift!

OOOH SHINY!!
I wear my wedding rings every day, I used to wear the first necklace my Husband bought me (before he was my husband) but I broke it earlier this year….
Sara says
OOOH SHINY!!
I wear an old citizen watch everyday since I got it my senior year of high school. It still works so why not? I also bounce between my wedding ring and/or a silver necklace that has the letters U S on it in Mayan- kind of an inside thing between me and my hubby thus why I at least wear one or the other.
Dawn says
OOOH SHINY!
My watch and my wedding ring (seven years now!).

I never leave the house without my glasses. Because I wouldn’t be able to.
Beth says
Ooh, shiny! Today is our 13th wedding anniversary, and in those years my wedding band and engagement ring have not left my finger. Mostly because halfway through our first pregnancy I thought “Hmm, I wonder when I should take these off so they don’t get stuck on my puffy fingers?” …about two weeks too late! I’ve tried every trick in the book (short of cutting the band) and they have not budged!
Kara says
Ooohh Shiny!!!
Wedding ring and engagement ring.24/7
Kayleigh says
OOOH SHINY!!
I have a couple of items I wear everyday and that would be a Pandora ring and Brighton watch that my mom gave me. She buys me the cutest jewelry for Birthdays and Christmas’s. She works at a small boutique in the town I live in so she’s forever spoiling me! Which I can say I LOVE. I also sometimes wear a Pandora charm bracelet that has mega charms on it and is spilling over because I have so many, and of course, its from my mom.
Great giveaway!

I wear a simple silver chain around my neck since the day we bought it (7 years ago, while on our honeymoon in Mexico). I truly cherish it and can’t wait to pass it onto one of my daughters some day. :) Thanks for the give away!
Laura says
OOOH SHINY!
I have double-pierced ears and wear very simple, not-too-blingy studs in them constantly. Someday when I’m hitched I’m sure I’ll always be sporting my wedding ring, but until then, I’m keeping it simple. LOVE this giveaway! :)

Amy says
OOOH SHINY! I’ve never been one for everyday jewelry wearing but since April I never leave the house without my engagement ring. And lately you’d be hard-pressed to see me without the pearl stud earrings my fiance gave me last Christmas! Never thought I’d be a “pearl girl!”
Lisa says
OOOH SHINY!
Like many others, I wear my diamond engagement ring every day. I don’t have a wedding band with it. Lately I also wear the same black elastic ponytail holder every day too, to keep my hair out of the way as I paint, and paint, and paint our house.
