New Giveaway - Tracy Matthews Hammered Tall Gold Cuff!

Update: Congratulations to Linda from Edmonton, Canada!  She’s the lucky winner of this gorgeous cuff.  Stay tuned for more contests in the future, my darlings!

Yes darlings, it is giveaway time again! This one is from the fabulous online jewelry store Szul.com again. Last time we gave away a pair of gorgeous 18K Gold Plated Sakura Earrings by Kipepeo and everybody loved the earrings. What’s the prize this time? It is this fabulous Tracy Matthews Hammered Tall Gold Cuff (valued at $115)!

Tracy Matthews is being featured in Szul’s New York Designer Spotlight. I love her simple and yet intricate designs. “Passion, talent and a love of fashion inspired Tracy Matthews during her early 20’s. As a European Studies major with an emphasis on Art History, Matthews enrolled in her first jewelry fabrication class and discovered her gift and creative path. By experimenting early on, combining color with metal, Matthews planted the seed for her future collections. Soon after, she was designing and selling her delicate jewelry to a succession of friends, families and bridal parties and realized her first market. In 1995, Matthews found her second passion, yoga. As an avid yogini and yoga teacher, she has found inspiration in the practice and from her students. Yoga has become an invaluable tool for Matthews in all facets of her life. Already a shameless optimist, the power of the practice to calm the mind, heal the body, release emotional tension, tap into creative energy and transcend self doubt gradually deepened her personal and spiritual development. Still struggling to find direction, she decided to give up her retail career. Subsequently in 1999 Tracy Matthews Designs was born out of her tremendous drive, encouragement and creative energy…”. Check out the rest of her profile and her entire collection here.

If you love her designs, be sure to enter this giveaway! Just leave a comment with your name and email address. We’ll keep the giveaway open for two weeks, ending on Tuesday, August 19, 2008 11:59 PM PST. One random winner will be picked the next day and contacted via email. One entry per person, and U.S. and Canadian residents only please. Good luck to everybody!
