Pearl Dangle Earrings Contest

This contest is closed but a new one starts today!

Lately I’ve become busy, and tired, and generally grown up. I find myself thinking about myself and things that I need, instead of the ideas I had when I was younger of making the world a better place. That is not ok with me. Every week I try to give away a piece of jewelry at random to brighten someone’s day and hopefully start a ripple effect of kindness. The winner can either keep the jewelry or pass it on to someone else. To enter the contest just leave a comment with who you would give this to and why or a random act of kindness.

The prize this week are 8mm freshwater white pearls set in a 2″ sterling silver design.

The Rules:

Please don’t sell the jewelry, it’s to make whoever receives it feel special. Winner will be chosen by a random number generator at 6pm on Friday Mountain Time.

Contestants should be over 18 & live in the lower 48 states because I’ll be paying shipping. I won’t sell or abuse your mailing address.

If you’ve already won a Random Act of Bling, you can win again, but please give the jewelry away at random.

Please leave a valid e-mail address, this is how I will contact you if you win. The subject line of the email will say something like “Random Acts of Bling: You Won” I’ll also announce the winner in a blog post. If I can’t reach you then I might have to relist your prize.

If you want to link or stumble this post it would be appreciated but is not required.

Comment/trackback/link should be about a random act of kindness or who you would give this jewelry to & why.

Unisex Garnet Ring Giveaway

Update: This contest is now closed but a new one starts on Monday!

Last week I was at a garage sale and started talking to the lady in charge. We really had nothing in common, she was married, older, had kids. I think we both just needed someone to listen so we ended up talking for three hours & became good friends. It made me think about all of the other people I could’ve learned from that I just passed over. She really brightened my day & lent me encouragement.

I try to do the same thing every week by giving away a piece of jewelry at random. The winner can keep it or give it away to someone else. To enter the contest read the rules & leave a comment with who you would give this to & why or a random act of kindness.

The prize this week is a unisex sterling & genuine garnet band ring in a size ten. The front of the band is three sided instead of round.

Summer Earrings Giveaway

In Tori Spelling’s book Stori Telling she recounted how being nice paid off. She had a bit part in a movie & had to go to a photo shoot with the other, more famous actresses. She was the last one to be shot & the photographer was tired. He asked her what her demands were. The other actresses had been complaining all day. She just said something like she was happy to be there. They ended up putting her on the cover of the magazine when she just was supposed to have a smaller photograph on the inside. I really don’t believe that nice guys finish last.

Every week I run a contest where a random person gets pretty jewelry, kind of as a reward for all the nice things that they do that never get recognized. The winner can keep the jewelry or give it away to someone else. All you have to do to enter the contest is read the rules & then leave a comment about who you would give this to & why.

The prize this week are painted glass earrings set in sterling silver. I usually try to stick to genuine gemstones, but these just reminded me so much of summer & the beach I couldn’t resist.

The Rules:
