Preface: I barely ever do giveaways. (I think this one marks my fourth this entire year.) I'm super picky about what I'll offer up for free. When I'm contacted about doing a giveaway, there's only one question I ask when making my decision: Would I want to win this myself? In the case of Jay and Renae Jewelry, the answer is a resounding, 'Heck, yes, come to mama!'
The collection is that perfect balance between feminine (think delicate gold chains and handiwork) and earthy (chunky, neutral stones with a raw sensibility) that I go for in jewelry. Designer Rebecca is based in San Francisco—you know I love me some hometown pride—and the price points are really reasonable. Finally, 20% of shop profits are being pledged to The Didi Project, a craft-based initiative that supports victims of sex trafficking in India. So in this case the question was how could I not do a Jay and Renae giveaway? (Note to Santa: Love this gold-dipped agate...)
The giveaway deets: It's the standard fare. All you have to do is pop over to Jay and Renae's Etsy shop, select a favorite piece, and then comment on this post. BONUS: Everyone gets 20% off everything in the shop! Just enter code CitySage20 at checkout. Oh! And have you entered one of my other rare giveaways? It's the last day to win a Bungalow 5 lamp from Layla Grayce...
I'm flipping out for the gold pebble necklace here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/112172000/gold-pebble-charm-neckace-simple-modern. Lurve it!

I would love the moonstone bracelet/necklace. http://www.etsy.com/listing/105860364/white-moonstone-gold-pyrite-amethyst
Moonstones are so gorgeous and you don't see them enough in jewelry. Plus it would be a "grown-up" piece that had character.

WOW - I'm in love! I'm torn between so many things but just adorn the Rose Agate Horn necklace. So perfect with some distressed denim and a faded t. LOVE! Glad I saw this shop on your blog, I love finding local designers.
