Free Diamonds are The Recessionista’s Best Friend: Valentines Contests

As most of us know, the sweetest day, Valentine’s Day is coming tomorrow Feb. 14th. There are a couple of contests you might want to get in on to try to win some free bling. First up, Macy’s is having a contest via Twitter with a grand prize of a 3 stone diamond ring. Its easy to enter follow @MacysInc and Twitter, then write your text on your sweetest tweet using this hashtag #SweetestTweets. Its so cold out, this might be a good time to do a little tweeting in the hopes of scoring some bling, right? 🙂

The next contest for bling is from eBay. In honor of the Valentine’s season, eBay is inviting women across America to “Build Your Bling” – a nationwide contest to design diamond ring of their dreams, with the opportunity to win the one-of-a-kind rock worth up to $25,000!

Recessionistas looking for bling for free are invited to configure their perfect diamond ring using the eBay Diamond Ring Designer, an online experience that provides access to thousands of certified, conflict-free loose diamonds and hundreds of gorgeous settings to customize an exceptional ring.

To enter, contestants create and post a unique ring design, and then spread the news about their gem and encourage voting through a Share function. America is asked to vote on its favorite sparkler, and on February 26, the lucky lady whose bling received the most votes will be awarded her customized carat. If you like bling, and are all about the free (that’s me people) then you might want to check this out! May the best Recessionista win!
