Know who makes really elegant, beautiful jewelry? Orelia Boutique.

Their jewelry is colorful, expertly made, and, more often than not, exquisite. Example: the delicately gorgeous turquoise "Shada" earrings you see at right. And guess what? We're giving a pair away!

Turquoise is flattering on everyone, and these earrings are, in a word, enchanting. Perfect for the Retro Princess, these earrings dress up or down and definitely grab attention with their understated sparkle.

Even more Retro Princess? These are ethical earrings. Designer Louisa Hirst knows you don't need bad-sweatshop-child-labor-mojo hanging from your pretty ears. As a former buyer for Accessorize and Oasis, she knows her stuff and works closely with socially responsible companies in India to have her designs manufactured. Louisa's designs are inspired by the beach and glimmer with brightly-colored semi-precious stones and Swarovski crystals.

Orelia ships globally and delivery in the U.K. is free! Everyone please buy from them. Enter our giveaway, too!

  • To enter, leave a confirmed comment below telling us where you would wear these earrings.
  • The comment must be left before Friday, May 30 at 5pm EST.
  • You may enter only once.
  • One winner will be selected in a random drawing.
  • One winner will receive a pair of "Shada" earrings, shipped free (valued at approximately $80).
  • Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 and older.

I love blues in general, especially turquoise. I could see myself wearing these out to dinner w/my b/f or, depending on the size, even to work.

These earrings are really stunning. Its hard to find turquoise and gold together. They would match a bracelet my mom bought me in Turkey. I would wear them to my daughter's high school graduation!
Thanks a million!

I would wear them for a friend's party, with my turquoise-stoned black flats. They're very pretty.

Wow everyone is wearing them to special occasions. I wanted to wear them to work with a simple white shirt. I think they are gorgous and would make me feel better about getting up early to get to work. Everyone likes to see something pretty, right?

I agree with the above comment and would wear them to work with a great pair of jeans and boots along with a great, colorful, long top.

These earrings are resplendent. I am doing a vintage, Gil Elvgren-style, pin-up calendar with several of my friends and these would go perfectly with my shoot which is sort of harem-esque. The sari is gold and the shoes are a rich turquoise-colour. They would match beautifully.

I will wear these beautiful earrings to the job interview that will hopefully land me my dream job. Then I will wear them on the first day and for good luck when I am traveling. Thank you and I wish everyone the best of luck!

I've gone back to school [after a 15 year- I got married and started a family-pause] to finally complete my undergraduate studies. I would wear these stunning earrings to my graduation at the end of this year.
