Modest Peach Jewelry Contest

I'll admit it: One of the perks to working for Southern Weddings is getting an exclusive sneak peek at (and the occassional mini-fashion show of) the fabulous accessories we feature in our magazine and photo shoots.  If you pored over our most recent issue (which I know some of you definitely have!), you may have noticed the to-die-for gold and pearl ring featured on page 16. 

The Jocelyn ring is only one of the many treasures we fell in love with from Modest Peach.  (Fun Fact: Catherine Leo and her team at Modest Peach just launched an entire Southern Weddings collection with pieces designed and named for each of the editors, so be on the look-out for your chance to own a piece of the SW team.)

The Modest Peach gals knew how much we swooned over their jewelry back when we were working on the last issue, and, to our delight, they’ve generously decided to sponsor their very own give-away.

How to enter:  Visit the Modest Peach website and pick your favorite piece of jewelry and tell us why your wedding day ensemble just wouldn’t be complete without it.  (Good luck picking just one!)  Please leave your submissions in the comment field below this post.

The prizes:  Our first place winner will receive a custom “Emily” gold vermeil cuff, and our second place winner will win the same stunner in silver.  Two runner-ups will be the proud own of a gold or silver Jocelyn ring.

As an added bonus, all our readers will receive a 20% discount on any purchase from now until February 28 by entering the following promo code: SWMAG

The contest ends at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, January 29, so hurry on over to Modest Peach to pick out your favorite eye candy!  Happy hunting!

I would have to say that Jocelyn would absolutely complete my ensamble. It is BEAUTIFUL. It's a perfect combination of vintage & modern - completely drool-worthy. It would match the large flower on my vintage dress perfectly! Thank you for introducing us to the wonderful world of Modest Peach!!

I would have to pick the Jocelyn - Silver flower ring. It is amazing! We are getting married in June at My Old Kentucky Home. I have been looking for a cocktail ring to wear on my wedding day. With our outdoor cermony and the beautiful rose gardens everywhere this ring would be perfect.

Ok so #1. my name is Emily and who doesn't want to wear jewelry named after them on their wedding day. #2 I am in love with the Ashley because it just screams greek goddess to me for some reason. So either I got to change my name to Ashley or just embrace the (equal) beauty of the Emily cuff. These are the kind of tough decisions I like.

I would say it has to be the Jocelyn. I'm not engaged (yet. tapping my foot...) but I already know I will have small dogwood trees painted gold at the entrance to the sanctuary.

Thanks for introducing me to Modest Peach! I would have to say A Walk In the Garden earings. They are just darling and since I can't wear heavy earings would be much better than just wearing plain old diamond studs. Plus, the earings will match the flower belt I bought to wear on my dress.

I would love the Anna locket necklace. I have 2 grandparents no longer with us and would love to honor their memory by placing their pictures in a locket and securing it to my bouquet. The Anna locket would be the perfect way to honor them while complimenting my yellow and charcoal color scheme.

I love a timeless, classic look and on my wedding day there's no exception! I absolutely love the Engagement crystal stud earrings! The focus should be on me, my dress, my future husband, and not my earrings or jewlery. Being able to wear these earrings would be just perfect for our wedding day!

Before even getting to the contest part of this blog post I was already on the Modest Peach website checking out their other items becuase of this ring and cuff. I absolutely LOVE the gold ones!!! It would definitely be in my wedding attire!!! I am obsessed!!!!
If I had to pick one other thing from their website to complete my look I would choose The Girls Night Out earrings. I want a casual wedding with maybe even a short dress and these three items would be the highlight!!!

I love love love the emily cuff. I can see myself wearing this to the brunch on sunday morning! How pretty would it look with a simple black dress?

January 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterElyse

I adore the silver flower cuff! For my upcoming May wedding, I like to describe my gown as vintage-romantic with modern touches. I think the silver cuff adorned with the soft, yet also bold, flower will be the perfect addition to my wedding day attire! Thank you for introducing the readers and followers of your blog to Modest Peach! I am in love with their unique, classy jewelry!!

I really love the Emily cuff in gold, so so much! But cuffs often overwhelm my tiny wrists, or don't fit at all, so I'll have to go with the Jocelyn ring in gold. I'm getting married in a vineyard at sunset, and I would love to see this gorgeous ring highlighted by the golden glow of the setting sun.

January 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAshley

The Emily cuff in gold WOULD complete my ensemble! The design is so bold, yet so simple, like the ocean theme which is my wedding day, and I am looking for the perfect gold cuff for just that statement! It's beautiful beautiful beautiful! Ahhhh! The PERFECT "something new"!

January 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAshley Sue Allen

Oh My!!! The Emily cuff in gold would be the PERFECT finishing touch to my wedding day look!! My wedding gown is the J Crew Rebecca, a simple empire wasted dress. What is giving me the extra special look is the accessories that I will be adding to my gown. I have gotten a custom bolero made from the lace on my grandmother's wedding dress. I am also wearing pearls from my fiance's late grandmother. I have gotten 3 fabric flowers to add to the sash on my dress! When I sawthe Emily cuff my heart skipped a beat! the pearls AND the flower??? .... absolute perfection!

January 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKris

The Emily gold cuff definitely is my favorite, it is pure beauty! Gold is one of my wedding colors and this cuff would look fabulous sitting pretty on my wrist! It would fit perfectly with so many of the gold details that will be included in my wedding day decor. Thanks so much for introducing us to Modest Peach, I love unusual pieces that still portray classic elegance.

January 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJessica

Must I pick just one? Well, if I must, I must...I love the The Blessing in Disguise earrings! Those earrings would add just the touch of chic and gorgeous simplicity my wedding 'look' needs!

January 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSarah

Wow ... thank you for introducing me to this beautiful jewlery! The silver Emily cuff would complement my wedding dress perfectly. My dress is strapless with a sweatheart neckline and flower design very similar to the cuff. I have been searching high and low for the perfect bracelet. I want something bold and pretty for my wrist since I have decided not to wear a necklace. The Emily cuff is exactly what I am looking for!

January 22, 2010 | Unregistered Commentercarrie

I love so many of your pieces...in both gold and silver (I'm usually not a fan of gold jewelry, but wow, you've got some gorgeous pieces). I have to say I love the Alba ring the best.

January 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKelly

The Carrie necklace would complete my wedding look! Layered with the chunky fresh water pearl necklace I already have, it would add gold to the mix, which is one of my colors (dark red, dark brown, gold and ivory for a September wedding). Layering the necklaces would compliment my modern dress. My dress is a simple, strapless tissue taffeta gown so I want to have some fun with my jewelry.

Thanks,
Amber

My favorite is Lydia! It's so simple but it's stunning!

January 23, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJessica

Beautiful jewelry! My favorite piece is the Emily cuff in gold. My wedding dress has a gold-ish sash and this cuff would be perfect on my wedding day. I love the flower with the pearl detail too.

January 23, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKatie

I fell in love with the Emily cuff.When I first saw it I was literally speechless!lol...I love unique affordable jewelry pieces that stand out and make a statement.Whether you wear it shopping or to a dinner party it would be a show stopper and someone would definately have to stop you in your tracks and ask you where you got it from.I love attention like that hehe!I would totally rock this piece for my wedding and whole lot after my special day.I love the sophistcated vintage look of this beautiful work of art.I have to have it!I can't deny...love at first sight!

January 23, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterThelma

When I got married, I did it with very simple jewelry. Diamond studs and my engagement ring. I wanted beautiful simple acessories, but really was unable to find what I wanted. Modest Peach would have saved me!!! I adore the beautiful simplicity of the Kaitlyn necklace. It would have been perfect with my dress, adding just a bit of interest to my neckline without detracting from the beauty of my dress.

January 23, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnn Marie

Thank you for sharing this! I'm loving the Emily bracelet! I been searching for the right accessories for my wedding day and its perfect!

January 23, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJackie

These pieces are so unique and elegant. I went to the website and I love the Jocelyn ring- I've never seen anything like it!
