Thank you for entering. This contest is now closed.

Twelve years ago, almost-FOF Marie Myers, a finance executive, started a side business making jewelry. "I was always interested in fashion--my grandmother and mother were both dressmakers but encouraged me to do something more lucrative, which is why I went into finance. For my corporate job I traveled often and collected new jewelry wherever I went," says Marie. "When I started creating my own pieces, my friends encouraged me to sell them." Marie began selling jewelry from her home in Texas--at first, she received mostly bridal orders, and eventually her line got picked up by a local Saks.
But, as many FOFs would attest, life didn't follow an uninterrupted. The birth of her first child put her jewelry business on hold for a few years. ("I couldn't keep beads and small pieces around my home with an infant," she says.) In the meantime, Marie got a masters in business (her fourth degree), wrote a formal business plan for her jewelery company and redefined her market as the economy tanked. In 2010 she relaunched her business as Marie Bruns Jewelry (Bruns is her married name). She sells her pieces
online and through trunk shows.
Marie says her line is based on the "eclectic layered look" with signature pieces such as her
multi-strand "messy" pearl necklace and
stackable rings made from real gemstones set in gold Vermeil. "My line is for professional women who want to be able to buy new pieces every year to add to their jewelry wardrobe at an affordable price," says Marie.
Her jewelry business's second coming is already seeing success. Marie was named a 2011
"Texas' Next Top Designer" and her pieces will be featured in
InStyle magazine this spring. Meanwhile she still holds her finance position, and this February, 43-year-old Marie is expecting twins. Move over Sarah Jessica Parker--we don't know how
she Marie does it.

These rings are wonderful! I would stack them in a minute depending how big they are on my finger. Each piece of jewelry has it’s own “vibe” some are meant to be stacked and some are best left alone.. These are darling and would go great with deep auburgine nail polish!!!
the hot chocolate was your new’ fvruoaite thing-yeah right, i think you have had that love affair for a long time .oh by the way-do you have a tattoo on your hand? xxMay 17, 2011 5:26 pm
GFC jenniferI am not a huge scneice fiction fan. But just read Glow, which was also set on a spaceship. I didn’t think i would love the spaceship idea. But it was pretty cool. This book sounds interesting. Thanks.jlkalman26 at gmail dot com
I am a ring stacker, love how it looks, can’t wait to see how these look………..
The rings are far to nice to not wear separately
I usually wear them alone unless they are simple bands. I think to many rings on one hand can “age” the hand
I don’t own any rings so I would love to win these. thanks for the chance to win. connie danielson
Actually I do both. Sometimes stacking, sometimes one on each finger on the same hand. So many options. Would LOVE this. They are beautiful!
Certain rings are best worn alone
The more the merrier!
I love to stack rings! It is one way to personalize accessories. Some rings are too large to stack and best worn alone.
I have small thin hands and fingers. I have to wear my
rings one per finger. Boo Hoo.
Other than my wedding and engagement rings, I haven’t stacked rings in the past. But I really haven’t had any rings that would be suitable for stacking. It’s something I would like to try. Over the years, I’ve lost rings or changed what I am wearing so I have less emphasis on rings. I would like to go back to that look because it is fun and really makes me feel glamorous.
I like to wear one ring on each finger
i do both! certain rings beg to be stacked and others are best worn alone.
these rings are beautiful – i hope that i win!
i’ll wear all the time.
