Unveiling Our Dazzling Jewelry Giveaway Winners & A Fresh Look at Designer Bling!
Hello, it’s Sherry here, stepping into the spotlight for a slightly different kind of post. Typically, John takes the lead on our giveaway announcements, but this week’s prize is a special passion project of mine. I admit, I did a bit of arm-twisting to convince him that we absolutely *had* to feature this incredible body decor. While our usual giveaways tend to focus on fantastic DIY projects and home decor enhancements, this time we’re venturing into the world of personal adornment. And trust me, it’s worth it! We’re absolutely thrilled to be offering two hundred dollars worth of exquisite, sparkly jewelry, perfect for adding a touch of glamour to your own collection, or for gifting to a beloved mom, wife, sister, girlfriend, or even grandma if you’re looking for the ultimate thoughtful present.
This isn’t just any jewelry; it’s a celebration of talent and passion. The stunning pieces for this giveaway come from two extraordinary designers whose work I genuinely adore. And let me be clear – I haven’t received any perks or swag to express my admiration; my enthusiasm for their creations is completely authentic. Their dedication to craftsmanship and unique aesthetic truly shines through every piece they create, making them absolute standouts in the world of fashion accessories. It’s an honor to showcase their artistry and share their beautiful designs with our wonderful community.
Spotlight On Exquisite Craftsmanship: Featuring Erin McDermott Jewelry
Our first featured designer is the incredibly talented Erin McDermott. Based in Charlotte, Erin’s journey into the world of jewelry design is particularly interesting as she shares alma maters with both John and me – having studied at FIT in New York City and UVA right here in Virginia. This blend of esteemed educational backgrounds in both design and the humanities has undoubtedly contributed to her sophisticated and unique aesthetic. Her work has garnered national attention, even being featured in the pages of Real Simple magazine, a testament to her impeccable taste and the widespread appeal of her designs. Erin’s jewelry is characterized by its delicate yet impactful presence, often incorporating a beautiful mix of metals, vibrant gemstones, and unique textures that make each piece feel like a cherished treasure. Her collections offer something for every style, from subtle everyday elegance to statement pieces that command attention, all crafted with an eye for timeless beauty and contemporary flair. You can truly feel the artistry and thoughtful design in every necklace, earring, and bracelet she creates, making them perfect additions to any jewelry collection.
What truly sets Erin McDermott Jewelry apart is her commitment to creating pieces that are both fashionable and enduring. She designs for the modern woman who appreciates quality, versatility, and a touch of personal expression. Her necklaces are often layered beautifully, her earrings range from delicate studs to eye-catching drops, and her bracelets are designed for comfortable, stylish wear. Whether you’re dressing up for a special occasion or simply adding a touch of sparkle to your daily outfit, Erin’s designs seamlessly integrate into any wardrobe, enhancing your personal style with effortless grace. It’s this dedication to accessible luxury and distinctive design that makes her work so appealing and why I’m always eager to share her collections with you all.
Discovering Heartfelt Designs: The Story of Towne & Reese
Next up, we have the captivating designs from Towne & Reese. Earlier this year, we had the fantastic opportunity to crash their studio, and let me tell you, it was an inspiring experience! Not only am I head-over-heels for their exquisite jewelry, but I also deeply admire the heartwarming story behind their brand. The founders have a truly unique and personal tradition of naming their pieces after their friends’ children, imbuing each creation with a sense of connection and cherished memory. Towne and Reese themselves are the names of the founders’ daughters, a beautiful tribute that underscores the brand’s foundation in family and personal bonds. This thoughtful approach makes their jewelry more than just an accessory; each piece tells a story, carrying a snippet of joy and human connection. It’s this blend of beautiful design and genuine sentiment that makes Towne & Reese truly special in the crowded world of fashion jewelry.
And here’s a little secret that still makes this geeky momma incredibly excited: our very own Clara will have a piece named after her in their upcoming Spring collection! Can you imagine the thrill? It’s probably an embarrassingly high level of excitement, but it’s a testament to the personal relationships and genuine warmth that Towne & Reese fosters. You can bet I’m diligently staking out their Facebook page, eagerly awaiting any sneak peeks of the new collection, especially the one that will carry Clara’s name. Their designs often feature a wonderful mix of classic elegance and bohemian chic, making them versatile for various occasions and personal styles. From delicate layering pieces to bold statement necklaces and earrings, Towne & Reese consistently delivers high-quality jewelry that feels both luxurious and approachable. Their attention to detail, use of beautiful materials, and a commitment to timeless yet on-trend designs make their pieces highly coveted. It’s a brand that effortlessly blends sophistication with a touch of playful charm, ensuring that every wearer feels unique and stylish. It’s this thoughtful approach and beautiful execution that solidifies their place as one of my absolute favorite jewelry designers.

This isn’t just about winning jewelry; it’s about the opportunity to handpick pieces that truly speak to your personal style and story from two amazing brands.
- THE GRAND PRIZE: Each of our two fortunate winners receives an incredible gift package designed to elevate their accessory game. This includes a generous $100 gift card to Erin McDermott Jewelry, offering a wide array of sophisticated and beautifully crafted pieces to choose from. But the sparkle doesn’t stop there!

- HOW TO ENTER (now closed): To participate in this exciting giveaway, we simply asked our readers to comment on the original post with the enthusiastic phrase “OOOH SHINY!” and then delve into a more personal reflection for our bonus question. This dual entry method made it easy to join and encouraged thoughtful engagement.
- THE BONUS QUESTION: This was truly the heart of the entry process, inviting everyone to share a piece of their story. We asked: “…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 iPod? The same pair of lucky underwear?” (Hopefully, not the last one, as we all had a good chuckle at that suggestion!). This question resonated deeply, drawing out wonderful stories about sentimental items, beloved heirlooms, and the everyday pieces that hold profound personal significance. It highlighted how jewelry, in particular, often serves as a constant reminder of love, memory, or aspiration, becoming an integral part of who we are.
- GIVEAWAY CLOSURE: The entry period for this highly anticipated giveaway officially closed on Wednesday, October 19, at 8 pm EST, or once we reached a remarkable 10,000 entries, whichever came first. The overwhelming response was a testament to the excitement surrounding these designer pieces.
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: We were delighted to select two lucky individuals, ensuring that the joy of winning could be shared. Each of these winners received both fantastic gift cards, doubling their chances to indulge in exquisite jewelry.
- PRIZE SHIPPING: One of the most exciting aspects of this giveaway was its global reach! The prizes were shipped anywhere in the whole wide world, a decision we absolutely love because it allows us to connect with our international readers and spread a little sparkle across the globe.
- THE USUAL STUFF: To maintain fairness and transparency, we always adhere to a few standard rules. Only one entry per e-mail address was permitted to give everyone an equal chance. The winners were then meticulously selected using random.org, a trusted method for ensuring impartiality. The big announcement was made the very next day, on Thursday, as an update to the original post. This prompt announcement ensures that everyone stays informed and can join in the celebration of our lucky winners. We always wish everyone the best of luck in our giveaways, and this one was no exception!
