My favorite for a while now has been the Harvest Moon ring! I shared the link on my facebook, and tweeted about the contest :D

Ooo thanks a bunch for the chance to win this awesome giveaway! I love all of Chocolate & Steel's Gemma Correl designs, but I'm also loving the new bat charm on their website!

Cheery, you say! I found Christine's shop so adorable and shiny. Though, I've known about this little "steel" for a while now. A while ago, I ordered a necklace for my companion with our favorite animals. He cherished it so much that he secretly ordered me a matching necklace.... talk about a total cheese ball.
But what I like the most is that all, is that she uses recycled and reclaimed silver, and every stamp is very unique and cute! I'm totally eyeing those chubby bunny earrings.

Thank you for introducing me to this amazing artist. Love this stuff. My faves are the strawberry earrings and the strawberry ring.

So much cuteness! I love Chocolate and Steel. I already have one of her rings and a pair of earrings. I've also given her work for gifts many times. I've think it works for people of all ages.
I hadn't seen some of her new work, and the squirrel with nuts necklace is absolutely adorable! The Hansel and Gretal ring is also so pretty!
Anyway, what an awesome giveaway! Very cool!
Also, I tweeted - https://twitter.com/Cadryskitchen/status/247078383274586112
Wow, those are some gorgeous designs. I've always wanted to learn metal work, but it's so hard to find anyone who will teach it... I can still appreciate the skill that goes into jewelry like this though! I've really fallen head over heels in love with the peacock necklace in particular.
Hi Nik! Another fab find! She does have quite a lot of wondrous items, and I am also glad to see she is having nice success at Etsy! I do love the raised poppy design and the foxes and cats and koala, oh my!
(But I so rarely wear jewelry, so you should not include me in your most excellent drawing.)
Super cute pieces! Lovely post. Want them all. :)
Generous giveaway, and so much cheer, I can't pick a favorite. I hadn't heard of Chocolate and Steel before, but love the shop! I have two girls who would swoon for these pendants.
