Official Giveaway

For my first giveaway I am offering one piece of custom jewelry. Due to my camera issues I do not have a picture to post today, but hopefully I will have examples to post soon. The winner will get to customize whatever piece they choose. You may choose between a necklace, bracelet, or a pair of earrings. I have lots of stones to choose from, and I am always adding to my collection.

In order to enter this contest you must leave a comment and tell me what type of jewelry you would like to see for sale. Please leave your name and a way to contact you. Comments without contact information will not be entered. I will randomly draw a winner on Sunday at 8pm Eastern, and announce by 10pm. US mailing addresses only.

Can't wait to see the ideas you all come up with...look for an Etsy shop opening soon!

I love simple jewelry-not a lot of bling. Earrings that aren't too long or dangly with just a simple pearl or other colorful stone are my favorite. Thanks for the giveaway and hope this helps! Good luck with the Etsy store-love Etsy!

I love etsy and handmade jewelry! count me in :-)

Musing Truth said...

I love all jewelry, but i really love bracelets. Dangly and big seem to be my style, but I especially love home-made jewelry that has beautiful beads. Thanks for a great giveaway!

Thank you for the wonderful prize offer.

As much as I need earrings I think I would much rather have a necklace or a bracelet. But I have a thick neck and wrist (oh the joys of being overweight) so I hope that is not a problem?

I can be reached at the ULR linked to my name. THANKS!

engelsigh said...

Hello. I love bracelets. I love purples, blues and greens. I like earrings that are light weight and dangly. I prefer jewelry that is unique.

Best wishes with your Etsy shop.

Nicol said...

I love earrings. I don't really wear very many necklaces. I want to but I am always afraid that it might be overkill for the outfit so I stick with earrings or bracelets.

groovyinclinations said...

Oh my Alexa is a beauty!! You both are so very lucky!

This really sounds like a super giveaway and I would adore the chance to work with you on a super design!

I like sterling silver jewelry with stones. My favorite piece of jewelry is an turquoise and silver bead anklet. I seldom take it off. So anything along those lines is great! I also love sterling silver earings with stones in them - usually studs, but sometimes dangly.

I wish I could see some of your stuff! Enter me though and I usually prefer silver and fairly simple jewelry.

I really like cross necklaces but casual ones. I am a jeans and t-shirt kind of mom but I don't like to leave home without a cross on.

Melanie Sheridan said...

What a cutie! I like the contrast of pink and black on your site. I'm a big fan of necklaces and rings. I like shorter length necklaces or ones that can be looped to make 2 strands. I like chunky or "raw" looking stones or beads (not too polished). And lately I'm into glass. I bought a fused glass ring at an antique store. Thanks for the chance to win!

I always like to see unique earrings. I make some earrings myself, but it's always nice to see what other ideas people come up with. Good luck with your Etsy store... my Etsy id is sevenbacon. Look me up when you get yours up and running and I'll come check it out! And my email is on my Blogger profile.

I love long necklaces, smaller earrings and bracelets are my favorite :)

I love custom giveaways (especially jewelry). Thanks for a nice contest!

Depending on the style, I'd choose either a necklace or earrings.

Stephanie said...

Hi, I love simple jewlery. Like a necklace with one beautiful stone. i also like original dangly earrings

Hootyboosmom said...

How cool! I really like simple, pretty jewelry. I really like small earrings - there seem to be a lot of earrings that hang, but not a lot of "stud-type" earrings. That would be nice. I like colorful necklaces and bracelets, simple - yet either casual or elegant. I hope this helps. Thanks for offering!

I love simple jewelry as well! But I also love those necklaces that cascade on your neck. I LOVE chandelier earrings but don't own a pair (I can never find them!).

SmilingSally said...

I like a bit longer necklace.

Unknown said...

I love simple, classy, eclectic jewelry. I am especially fond of pendants on nice chains(IE: not ball chain); stamped stainless accented with a simple, pretty stone; uncomplicated, layered necklaces and bracelets in simple color schemes(without a lot of fussy metal spacers/etc); realistic flowers and leaves, etc etc.

I like earrings and necklaces. I am partial to gold rather than silver, and nothing too gaudy or large are my preferences.

Well I love jewelry. Heck, what woman doesn't right? I like silver jewelry best. And a simple yet elegant design. Turquise is a favorite stone of mine. Think native american jewelry and you probably can come up with pieces I'd love. Thanks for entering me and good luck to everyone.

Julie said...

I like gemstone jewelry and swarovski (not sure of the spelling) crystal bracelets. Nothing too big. Maybe a bracelet in green or pink or something so they go with lots of stuff. My mother-in-law got a swarovski crystal bracelet for my 15 month old daughter and she gets so many compliments on it. Probably since it's little and cute, too. : )
Thank you!

Cherie J said...

I love earrings! I like the dangly kind with the fish hook type posts. I love colorful ones with pretty gemstones. Since cool colors look best on me I tend to go for those type of colors. Basically blues, purples, reds as well as blacks and whites.

I love wearing things that people rarely see! Something a little edgy, but not too crazy that I don't look like I'm trying to be a teenager again!

Anonymous said...

I like long dangly earrings. I like the fish hook type of post and I like those long ones that you sorta thread through your ear...the one that I have has a chain that is too thick to go through though, so if you make those, make sure the chain is thin!

I love necklaces. I like the kind with stones or a cool pendant at the end of the chain. I like a mix of silver and stone or beading on the chain itself too!

Rainbow colored bracelets that i can wear with just about anything. Naturals are pretty too and go with jeans. I feel naked without a bracelet on! thnx for a great giveaway katklaw777(at)yahoo(dot)com

Alot of the handmade jewelry I see is very chunky. I'm petite so I would love to see more delicate jewelry. Also more versatile pieces, things that would look just as great with jeab=ns as they would a dressy outfit.

Well, I just love coordinating sets! I also like toe rings and anklets. Maybe add a few of those to your shop--I think that would round it out well. But regardless, your jewelry is very pretty!

Beaded necklaces is what I'd love to see. Perhaps with one semi-precious stones as the main piece.

I love stone and shell pendants. I also like necklaces in longer lengths. Lots of regular necklaces are too small for me. I REALLY hope I win! I am a first year teacher, and I really can't afford any luxuries and my jewelry collection is very sad.

Becky N. said...

I love to wear a nice simple necklace! Thank you for the giveaway.

Something I would like to see for sale, personally, is clip-on earrings. I don't have pierced ears, nor do I want to, but it would be so nice to have the option of handmade earrings I could wear for those rare special occasions.

I like jewelry with silver and interesting colored stones or beads. Thanks for the giveaway!

I have been looking for a pair of earrings for my sister in law. She loves mother of pearl (abalone shell) so something like the round ones would be perfect...if not to big (she's not a "huge bulky" jewelery kind of girl). Feel free to e-mail me with your etsy shop when it opens.
