***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

Connie says
OOOH SHINY!
I don’t have something I wear every single day, but I have two different necklaces, one from my grandmother who passed away last December, the other from my dad in memory of that same grandmother. Both are beautiful and simple and really make me feel close to these special people in my life :)
Kathleen W says

OOOH SHINY!
I usually wear my diamond studs that I purchased for myself – it was an accomplishment for me to buy them.
Mandy Lee says
OOOH Shiny!!! I wear my engagement and wedding rings as well as a ring that I had made out of diamonds that my grandmother gave me. I love that the diamonds on my hands have such great history behind them! :)
Jessica says
OOOH SHINY!
I’m always wearing my wedding ring. But I actually have 2 different bands (parts of my life aren’t diamond appropriate) so it’s not always the same ring.
Caroline says
OOOH SHINY!!
I definitely wear my engagement ring everyday and do not like having to take it off at the end of the day (it’s set high, so keeping it on at night means getting it caught in blankets). I also LOVE changing up my earrings…I only recently got my ears pierced so it’s still very novel to me haha
Taylor Mathis says
OOHH SHINY!!!
I wear my wedding rings every day!!!
Jennifer says
Ooooooh Shiny!!
When I am not pregnant I wear my engagement and wedding rings. When I am and they dont fit I wear my grandmothers. I never take either off. I also wear a teeny tiny circle with a P on it on a necklace.
Shawna says
Ooh shiny!
I wear a ring on a necklace that I NEVER take off. It was my aunt’s, who passed away when I was a teenager. I also wear a medical bracelet (boring!)

Kati says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding ring, my heart shaped necklace from my husband, a plain silver band (which was my subsitute wedding ring when i was pregnant with my daughter), and a pair of diamond earring from my mother when I got married! It’s rare for me to take any of it off ever!

Allyn says
Oooh shiny!
I always wear my engagement ring (decided to not get a wedding band). I also always wear a bracelet that my husband’s parents had made for his future wife when he was little with his hawaiian name (Ho Ola Ka Haku) on it. They sent it to me right after we got engaged. So sweet!
Rhonda says
OOOH SHINY!
The only thing I wear daily is my engagement ring and my great-great grandmothers silver wedding band.

OOH SHINY!!!

Cheri says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my grandmothers diamond earnings every. single. day. My grandfather bought them for her and they are each nearly a karat each. She gave them to me before she passed and I couldn’t even think of taking them off. Not only because they big and blingy and beautiful, but because they mean something to me.
Valerie says
OOOH SHINY!
No go-to piece of jewelry for me, but I’m nearly always wearing a pair of earrings. Except for today, of course, because we just moved and I can’t find anything!
Chase says
OOOOH SHINY! I wear my engagement ring, wedding band, and a watch everyday. The watch is more just practical than fun (medical profession, helpful to know the exact time). My wedding rings are something I love more each time I look at them…three years after I got them.
alison says
OOOH SHINY! The only pieces I wear every day are my wedding rings and several small diamond studs in my ears. Other than that, I change out my necklaces and main earrings every day, and occasionally wear a bracelet.
annie says
OOOH SHINY!… I always like to have earings on, studs or danglies (sp?)!!!
Jackie says
OOOH SHINY!
I wear my wedding and engagement ring everyday of course, but I also wear a watch everyday.
Korina says
OOOH SHINY! The only thing I wear everyday is my wedding ring, other than that I’m light on jewelry, I don’t own a lot and I don’t wear a lot. I’ll only buy something if I absolutely love it, it can be worn with many different outfits, and is almost timeless.
Rebecca says
Ooooh Shiny!!
I wear my wedding band, engagement ring, and silver triple ring every day.
Alison says
Ohhh Shiny!!
I don’t wear anything everyday but am hoping to be wearing an engagement ring everyday sometime soon! Fingers crossed!

OOOH SHINY!
Definitely my engagement ring, wedding band & earrings of some sort.

Oooh shiny! I wear my wedding ring everyday and some earrings from premeir jewelry, people at work even notice if I’m not wearing them :)
Patty says
OOOH SHINY!!!
I wear my wedding and engagement ring when I go out, but I take it off as soon as I come home. The diamond sticks up, and it scratches my baby….so, it comes off around the kiddos!
Katie says
OOOH SHINY! always got my wedding band on!
Ericka says
OOH, SHINY! I wear my wedding ring on my left finger and my promise ring on my right finger every day.

C. Schnuelle says
OOOH SHINY! I wear my wedding set every day, I only take it off to work in dough or dirt. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Karyn says
Ooooh SHINY!
Besides my gorgeous 10-year-anniversary band, I always wear a silver bracelet. It has a lot of sentimental value; I lost it when we moved and my husband surprised me by buying a new one and giving it to me for Christmas. The sweetness of that alone is off the charts but that he had to fly to Iceland and find the exact same one makes it that much more special.
Colleen C. says
OOOH SHINY!
The jewerly I wear on a daily basis include, a ring that was given to me when my grandmother passed away, my watch, and some assortment of bracelets.
Erin says
Ooh, shiny!
I wear my wedding ring every day, and a claddagh that my husband got me when we first started dating. I also wear an amazing custom ruby ring that I got when my daughter was born.
A says
Ooooh SHINY!!!!
i wear a ring on my right ring finger everyday- although it varies what ring b/c all my rings are either from my Grandma or my parents.
I’m holding out for a ring from my man.. then I’ll be mmm shiny :)
East End Girl says
OOOH SHINY! I wear a silver chain that has a small Celtic cross and a tiny silver square charm that has the date of my wedding anniversary engraved on it. I sometimes have to take my engagement and wedding rings off for work, and the charms keep my faith and my husband right next to my heart at all times!
