Ampersand Designs Review & Giveaway
February 15, 2009 by admin - Jennifer
Filed under Giveaways
Our motto is only making witty, eclectic jewelry we would wear ourselves and utilizing our love for music of all types, our insane obsession for Rolling Stone and Vogue, pin up girls, vices (because every girl has at least one!), and fairy tales.
I was given the opportunity to review a piece from Ampersand Designs Signature Line / Once Upon A Time Collection (shown below) and I fell in love with it. It brought me back to my childhood when I used to play dress up with my Grandma’s jewelry. I love the simplicity of it with the Fairest Of Them All charm and silver looking glass charm. This is definitely one piece you don’t want to be without, because we can all be The Fairest Of Them All!
The Fairest Of Them All piece is their most hyped piece since Ampersand Designs started making jewelry, and it will be featured in the gift bags celebrities will receive at the 2009 Pre-Oscar luncheon. How cool is that?!? What’s even cooler than that is I have one of these wonderful necklaces to giveaway to one lucky Dirty Shirt reader. See rules below to enter:
- MAIN RULE – Go to Ampersand Designs and take a look around and tell me in comments what your favorite piece is. (remember if this rule is not followed then no others will count)

- 1 Extra Entry – Stumble this post and leave your Stumble name (I will be checking) in a separate comment
- 1 Extra Entry – Favorite The Dirty Shirt in Technorati and leave your name (I will be checking) in a separate comment
- 1 Extra Entry – Follow me on Twitter (button in subscribe section on on the right sidebar) and let me know your Twitter name in a separate comment
- 1 Extra Entry for Tweeting about this giveaway. Please leave direct URL in comments so I can check.
- 2 Extra Entries – Write a post on your blog linking to my blog and to Ampersand Designs.
This giveaway will run through midnight on March 1, with winner being announced the morning of March 2. Winner will be chosen using Random.org from all valid entries and notified via email. Winner will have 48 hours to contact me before another winner is chosen. Giveaway is open to U.S. residents only.

























What an awesome giveaway! I love the
Twitterpated Signature Necklace for its sheer cuteness.
