FOF Shaune Bazner designs fabulous jewelry and accessories for all types of women. Her company, Shaune Bazner Accessories, is giving away 5 sets of clip-on earrings (retail value: $30-$32/pair). Her colorful collection, which also includes hair sticks and necklaces, are all under $100– beautiful and affordable. To win, answer the question: Which set of earrings is your favorite?
How old are you?
62 years old.
What were you doing before you started your business?
I was a dancer and yoga instructor.
How and when did you get started with your business? I started my business out of a personal need to find a hair accessory that would not give me headaches or damage my hair. I founded the company in 1978 with one accessory, Mei Fa Hairstyx*. It’s still our flagship product.
*MEI FA translates to “beautiful hair” in Chinese. The hair sticks keep your hairstyle comfortably in place.
When did you start designing jewelry?
I started designing jewelry a few years after launching the company. I heard from many women that there were no clip-on earrings out there that were comfortable and fun looking. I jumped on this opportunity and we have one of the largest selection of handcrafted clip-ons available.
Where are you based out of?
All of our products are made in our studio in Washington, D.C.
What is a typical workday like for you?
Extremely varied! Which is part of the reason I’ve been at it for so long. I do trade and retail shows. We sell to about 600 stores across the country. I design two jewelry collections each year. I have a good sense of priorities and naturally gravitate toward what needs to be done.
What accessories do you sell?
Mei Fa Hairstyx, shawl pins, convertibles, necklaces, bracelets, ID beads, eyeglass cords and earrings (wire, post and clip-ons)
What are convertibles?
Convertibles are multi-purpose pieces of jewelry. Shaune Bazner has 60” of stretch cords with seed beads, faceted crystals, and pearls which can be worn as necklaces, bracelets, pony-tail holders and more!
Why would FOFs like your earrings?
First, they’re comfortable and not heavy. Next, we have such a large variety to choose from that a woman can match any outfit for work or something more artsy for play. Many women have gone back to clip-ons because of stretched out holes in their pierced ears. Our earrings take care of this problem. The most popular type of earrings are pearls. Ours are sophisticated and edgy.
To win, answer the question: Which set of earrings is your favorite?
5 FOFs will win. (See all our past winners, here.) (See official rules, here.) Contest closes June 13th, 2013 at midnight E.S.T. Contest limited to residents of the continental U.S.

Joanna says:
I like the ones in the middle bottom row!
Soledad says:
They are all pretty and unique but cannot narrow it down. It would have to be a pair that has silver in it. The last time I used clip-ons though, made my earlobes hurt.
yyoerger says:
Of the clip-ons, I’d pick E-C-01. I love the combination and balance of the square tops, transitioning to a round loop, transitioning again to hold the little globe drops. I also like the texture combination of the hand-hammered look on the golden tops contrasting with the sleek, smooth amber spheres. And the color tones complement each other perfectly too.
Larisa says:
All earings are so beautiful – it is almost impossible to choose, but if I have to have only one:
E-SA-27 or E-SA-26 are still 2 the ones I wouls choose. I am definitelly will shop there – it is like candy store for my eyes.
Ida Khodorkovskaya says:
The first one on the picture- long golden ones are beautiful. And the silver one on the 3rd row first – so whimsical. I love all of them!
Carlita says:
Love the gold pair and the silver pair (with the snowflake like ball/design @ the top)! Have outfits that will go with either.
Sandra says:
I really love the E-C4-10 earrings. Would look perfect with a tribal print tunic I have!
Dawn says:
I would love any of these!
Jean Bearrick says:
I like the bottom left-hand pair.
Basya Skalozub says:
I love Pierced ones. CODE: E-P2-05 is exquisite! I love all of them and the fantasy of designs is awesome. I hope I win one.
Zenaida says:
Clip-on Earrings E-C4-11. They are the first pair on the last (third) row. They are beautiful!
Alice Strunk says:
WOW! What a hard decision. I like them all. My two favorites are the E-C4-05 silver with multiple shades of green and E-C4-03 silver with turquoise. I have just the outfit for them.
