That bracelet is to die for. It's a champagne and white 80-carat diamond platinum cuff by Lorraine Schwartz. Drool.

So far, that's all I have to say about the Temple St. Clair Collection at Target.....Hmmmm.....

McGowan and McClain is the brainchild of two cousins, Marian and Laura Jones. After they both became classically trained in metals and jewelry, they started McGowan and McClain in October 2008.

From looking at their lovely jewelry, you can tell that the ladies of McGowan and McClain are inspired by nature and organic materials.

And now you have a chance to win one of their beautiful pieces!

This is a blue chalcedony druzy with tanzanite and grey quartz faceted beads on an 18k vermeil chain, and retails for $230.

Isn't it gorgeous?

All you need to do to be entered to win is visit their Etsy store and leave a comment on this post. If you'd like additional entries, you can tweet, blog or facebook about this giveaway; just leave a comment with the link.
