Giveaway: jewelry without jewels

Who's ready for a jewelry giveaway here on TWB? Read on to find out about jewelry without jewels, and how you can enter to win an accessory of your very own from the shop.

Erica started quietly making and selling jewelry pieces back in 2005. It wasn't long before the demand was great enough for jewelry without jewels to be officially launched. In Erica's shop, you'll find patterned selections of fabric that are folded, weaved, and intertwined with beads to make necklaces that can also be worn as headbands, bracelets, or to spruce up a straw hat. There's an assortment of fabric earrings and rings offered now, too. The pieces are bright and bold, and versatile enough to wear with your more casual outfits or dressier ensembles. Some of Erica's past customers have had designs made for their bridal parties, as well as for their bridal shower, birthday, and holiday gifts.

If you're in the Fairfield County, Connecticut area - let's pause for a quick timeout as I turn towards the north and salute my homeland - you may have already seen jewelry without jewels at Darien Sport Shop, The Goody Shop, or any number of local trunk shows, craft fairs, and holiday boutiques in which Erica has displayed her work. If you're not in that area, your ordering is as easy as contacting Erica at jewelrywithoutjewels@gmail.com.

But wait, didn't I mention a giveaway? Oh yes, I did. You have the chance to win a custom designed jewelry without jewels necklace of your own. And remember, it's not just a necklace...you can wear it multiple ways. Upon being selected as the winner, Erica will see what colors you're liking and what fabric she has in stock, and she'll whip up a creation just for you.

So here's how you enter:

For the first entry, just leave a comment on this post. Easy!

For an additional second entry, like jewelry without jewels' Facebook page and come back here and tell me you did so in a separate comment on this post. Still easy!

This giveaway will end at 11:59 PM (Eastern) on Monday, October 17, 2011. Good luck!
