    Thanks for the giveaway.

  6. Wonderful designer works! My favorite piece is the beautiful and very clever Silver and brass protective hand bangle It’s so original and beautiful! :o

  7. My fav is Hart & Hunt – silver deer and arrow necklace, such a cool idea!
    (and those kitten earings are cute too <3)

  8. oh wow! i’m totally enamoured by all of the hand pieces. and what lovely presentation.

    the hart and hunter one really reminds me of “the heart is a lonely hunter” in a beautiful way, too.

  9. I think the protective hand bangle takes the cake for me, but everything is really beautiful! I find myself very tempted to buy one of everything in the store… thanks for introducing me to them!

  10. What an amazing and talented designer. Datter translates into daughter in norwegian which is my language :) I must say I love the aesthetic at large, and my favourite piece would probably be the golden watchful eye ring. Beautiful.

  11. Wow probably best etsy store I’ve seen in a while! Every piece is unique and classy, lovely. But I adore the sterling skull necklace and ring with those amazing skulls on it. Great work!

  12. Hey! i have been eyeballing this shop for a bit! such coll and unique pieces!
    I love the protective hands bangle and the Hart and Hunt deer necklace

  13. I’ve loved Datter jewelry for awhile now, so this is a pretty exciting giveaway. I have a special place in my heart for the cat face lapel pin, which I ordered for my husband’s birthday last March (he adores it). I’ve had my own little eye on the arrow stud earrings in sterling silver, so that would be my pick if I win. Just noticed she has an arrow lapel pin now too, so sweet!

  14. it’s hard to pick just one because they are all so lovely! the golden watchful eye ring and the protective hand bangle have been on my covet list for awhile now!

  15. Love love the hand with golden arrow necklace. I always am looking for fun gifts for friends and I know a lot of ladies who would adore the datter industries style.

  16. These remind of hand-drawn illustrations in children’s books. Lovely! My favorites are the silver Watchful Eye ring and the silver and brass Protective Hand bangle.

  17. I have definitely had a watchful eye on the Row of tiny skulls ring! Datter Industries, what a unique site. I love the attention to detail in all the pieces!

  18. I like the Silver Protective Hand bangle! Wow, the jewellery looks awesome, so dainty! Thankyou for the giveaway :)

  19. All of it is so delicate and beautiful. i really can’t choose one!
    the protective hand bangle is lovely, and i’m into it even though i’m not a bracelet person.

  20. These are all so beautiful, and it’s so hard to pick a favorite! I managed, though, somehow (actually I’m wavering between two and as I’m typing this, still not sure which one I’ll write down).
    Hand with a Golden Arrow necklace.
    Whew. That was difficult.
    Seriously, though, her work is amazing! Thanks for this giveaway opportunity!

  21. I’ve had my eye on this designer for months now! So delicate and strange, I love it.
    The tiny row of skulls necklace is amazing.

  22. I adore the Pointing hand brass lapel pin. I love the typographic edge to it,it looks so weeny! and plus its so cheap!

  23. I absolutely love the Tiny Gold Arrow Necklace. It was hard to choose though she has such amazing pieces!

  24. What lovely jewelery! I think I love the silver bow & arrow necklace the best, but it’s a hard decision to be sure!

  25. What beautiful jewelry! I absolutely adore the silver skull necklace; the tiny row of skulls is so adorable. :)

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  26. I’ve been lurking at these pieces for ages, such quirky and simple jewelry. My favourite piece is the silvery protective hand bangle.

    Cheers and good luck with the shop!

  27. I am in complete awe of the watchful eye sterling silver necklace. I love the meaning behind it and the delicacy in the jewlery!

  28. I absolutely adore everything in this shop! As a Pi Phi, though, my absolute favorite would have to be the hand and golden arrow necklace.

  29. I love the golden protective hand bangle.

    Thanks for the giveaway, fingers crossed! It would be a nice surprise for my girlfriend.:)

  30. The Silver crossed arrows ring is easily my favorite, amongst the many amazing pieces of jewelry. It is everything I want out of everyday accessories!

  31. Pretty hard to just pick one, but well… I’d say that my favorite item is the Saint Jude silver unisex medallion necklace. Because it’s so lovely, it’s the kind of jewels I never want to take off. And, like the description says, it’s a good mascot to cover my back!

  32. GAH. Loving ALL of the pieces! All so beautiful and adorable and unique! But since I have to choose, I’m gonna go with the row of tiny skulls ring! Thanks for the giveaway! xo

  33. Everything is incredible. I would wear all of it. What a wonderful giveaway!
    My absolute favorite piece is the tiny golden skull necklace.

  34. I love love love the “protective hands bangle” in gold! thanks for the giveaway! love every single piece :D

  35. I’ve been eyeing the ‘tiny hand necklace in silver’ for some time now, I’d be really happy to win it! Kaye Blegvad is such a fantastic jewelrysmith, I already have the protective eye ring and I simply don’t want to take it off.

  36. This is so hard to choose! I really love the pointing hand lapel pin…but the silver skulls ring is pretty awesome too.

  37. The “row of tiny skulls ring” is pretty, but it’s hard to choose which is my favourite. If push comes to shove it’d probably be that one.

  38. Theres so many nice pieces but if I had to pick one Id probably go with the Golden tiny bird studs they’re adorable :)

  39. I know about Kate Blegvad. I posted her stuff on facebook a couple of times and on chime.in; I love her drawings yet somehow did not know about her jewelry. (I can be astonishingly unobservant sometimes).

    Now I know and love the Hand with golden arrow necklace.

  40. Oh wow these are so beautiful and intricate! I would have to say the Hart & Hunt golden deer necklace is my favourite, so pretty and unique and completely beautiful!

  41. I forget where I saw these before, but I fell in love with the hand holding the golden arrow necklace. It’s so incredibly unique and beautiful, as is all the jewelry she designs.

  42. Love everything in this shop..so beautiful! It’s hard to choose. I think my favorite is the Silver protective hand ring.
    I wish you all the best!

  43. I absolutely adore the Golden Spear Earrings.
    They are perfect for game days at my college, Florida State University, or a night at a show.

  44. What a cute store! Definitely passing on the word to friends. My favorite item would have to be the arrow stud earrings, with the Hart & Hunt golden deer necklace as a very close second.

  45. These pieces are amazing everyone has its own soul I love the bracelet with the arms I love it because when I wear it I can see myself looking down on it and remembering that I have people that love me and if I ever need it I can always have a hug. Keep doing what your doing Datter!!!

  46. I desperately want the Golden Crossed Arrows signet ring for my own. But the Golden row of tiny skulls ring runs a super close second place. ;)

  47. My favorite is the hand with golden arrow necklace. I personally love the arrow and the simplicity of the necklace. It’s so delicate and gorgeous

  48. They are all so lovely, it’s hard to choose! It comes down to the silver bow and arrow necklace, the silver sword earrings, and all of the ones with the cute little hands!

  49. I also love the silvery protective hand bangle! It looks like it is giving your hand a hug! I need a bracelet that gives my hand a hug =) Go ahead. Make my day! =)

  50. oh my goodness, this work is incredible. thanks for sharing! everything is stunning, but I think I truly love the sterling silver watchful eye necklace.

  51. I already have a skull ring, but I definitely need another piece – the kitty studs or protective hand ring would make nice additions! Kaye’s the best.

  52. Beautiful Jewelry!

    If I was lucky enough to win, I would love to have the tiny silver skull necklace.

    Many Thanks!

  53. Ack, I love the silvery protective hand bangle and the hand with golden arrow necklace – I just couldn’t choose between them!

    Wow, these are so gorgeous, I’d want all of them, hmm….

  54. I absolutely adore the Golden protective hand bangle ! It has brought to my attention that I should start making jewelry. lol. I’m really jealous Kaye Blegvad has the mind to create beautiful jewelry. I saw the prices… I really wished they were cheaper because I really want all of them, so bad. But I understand why. They are expensive because they look expensive and are absolutely gorgeous. Gorgeous doesn’t come cheap. Especially art.
    I would love the Golden protective hand bangle! :3

  55. this collection is SO amazing, (it took me forever to pick a favorite!!!) but i totally have my heart set on the “hand with golden arrow” necklace, its so pretty and so delicate!!!

  56. Wow, so beautiful!
    My favourite is the Silver Bow and Arrow necklace! (it was so hard to pick one though)

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  57. My favorite is definitely the Hand with golden arrow necklace. It is so light and fragile but at the same time it has a strong contrast in the silver and gold finishing. I realy love it!

  58. I adore them all, so it’s hard to choose! But I think the delicate details of the Hart & Hunt golden deer necklace has won me over! People forget how lovely simplicity and an attention to minute details can be, so it’s nice to see a jewelry artist who can capture this in such wearable pieces!

  59. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE all of the stuff, but I can’t decide, so here are my favorites : the golden protective hand bangle, the silver protective hand ring, Silver skull necklace and the watchful eye ring. They’re all so nice, though,

  60. As a ring-lover, I love the Watchful Eye ring. It would go perfectly with any outfit and create an additional almost spiritual element! It’s just so lovely.

  61. Omg! I have hearts in my eyes over this shop! I can’t decide on a favorite–either the silver protective hand ring or the hand with golden arrow necklace. So gorgeous!

  62. I really love the silver protective hand ring! It’s really delicate and that’s what I like about it! Simple, but it says so much.

  63. Definitely love the golden crossed arrows signet ring. It’s an interesting, old-fashioned design and even represents where I am at the moment –> Not entirely sure which direction to go, but taking a chance and hoping for the best.

  64. the watchful eye sterling silver ring is my obsession because i strongly believe that you should always keep an eye out in life. besides that, the dull aspect of the silver looks so rustic and antique like. its fabulous!

  65. I have been admiring all of Kaye’s work from afar for the longest time, and I can’t how much thrill I would get from wearing one of these pieces considering how much I love just looking at them.

    If I had to choose, I would say the protective hand bangles are my fave!

  66. How exquisite these are!! I also adore the silver protective eye ring (in small). Thank you for sharing this incredible artist with us!

  67. everything with the tiny skulls are to DIE for! but I absolutely have a soft spot for archery so i’ll have to go with the bow and arrow necklace as my favorite.

  68. Did you just read my mind? I’ve been looking for jewelry with hand motifs forever, they’re way too hard to find! This is absolutely perfect! I suppose if I had to choose my favorite would be the gold protective hand bangle!~

  69. I love the silver protective hand ring. I just cannot resist the idea of pretending a little silver guy is holding onto my finger for dear life!

  70. I absolutely love the “Silver and brass protective hand bangle”. The whole shop is to die for, but I think this piece will fill my heart with happiness and warm hugs (at least warm hugs to my wrist).

  71. I love her stuff, it is so hard to choose a favorite, the tiny skulls ring is pretty amazing and is coming in close with the golden protective hand ring! so beautiful!

  72. I’ve been admiring this jewellery for quite some time and am in love with the tiny golden hand necklace.

  73. The Watchful Eye rings are really unique, simple, and beautiful. They look like someone put a lot of effort into each minor detail and I really appreciate that.

  74. Datter Industries has such a great selection of items! My favorite is the Golden Protective Hand Bangle.

  75. The watchful eye ring is pretty rad, tho I can’t stop thinking about the skull ring… thanks for the offer both of you!

  76. I love Kaye’s jewellery! I already have the arrow necklace, and the hand bracelet is definitely my next acquisition. I’m gonna buy it for myself as a graduation gift anyway, but it’d be nice to win it!

  77. Super fun stuff-what a great find! Loving all her stuff, but most of all the crossed arrow rings or protective eye pieces. Thanks for the giveaway!

  78. Love love love the tiny hand necklace! All of these pieces are so charming. They remind me of Roald Dahl illustrations!

  79. My absolute favorite is the “Golden protective hand bangle.” Really hard to pick, though!

    xoxo,
    Taissa

  80. that little bow and arrow necklace is quite a charmer! i just started archery lessons so i might need to make it mine.

  81. Oh, I’ve loved Datter Industries ever since you first posted about them! I can’t decide between the Golden Protective Hand Ring or the Hand with Golden Arrow Necklace :)

  82. Even if I may not win, I’m still going to save up for one of these amazing pieces, what a great designer!
    My favorite piece: The sterlig silver moth wing ring. It reminds me of those late summer nights, the moths visiting my room and me trying to gently catch them to set them free again.

  83. I don’t usually enter these giveaways, but the silver crossed arrows ring to too great to not at least try to win. It reminds me of something an explorer or a huntress would wear.

  84. I love her jewelry! I am torn between the Tiny sterling silver skull necklace and Silver protective hand ring! I love the delicacy of all the pieces.

  85. I came across the shop a few months ago and have been obsessing over all of the pieces with hand imagery. I love that they are inspired by folktales and such, so unique! i’ve been searching for a great skinny cuff bracelet, and something with a hand and their bracelet is just a perfect combination of the two!

  86. This jewelry is so unique, thanks for the great giveaway :).
    All the pieces are pretty great, but I love the watchful eye ring & tiny bird studs!

  87. Such a stunning collection. My personal favorite is the St. Jude medallion. He’s my patron saint so it’s kind of a no-brainer :)

  88. I would honestly be happy with any of their pieces; they’re all so wonderful and cheeky! If I had to choose, I’d say the protective hand bracelet, mostly because it reminds me of a bracelet I got in Cambodia that I recently lost. Though mine was in the shape of a lily and not hands, it had the same wrap around quality.

  89. This really is a fabulous giveaway and quite frankly i would be ecstatic to own any of the beautiful designs, but my absolute favourite piece is the Golden Protective Hand Bangle; just perfect! xx

  90. Oh what a great find! My favorite is the arrows crossed signet ring- followed by hart&hunt necklace. Thanks so much!

  91. The Golden Protective Hand Ring is something so delicate and warmhearted. I love that kind of protective, meaningful hand-jewels!

  92. holy smokes. Such gorgeous pieces! If I had to pick, it’d definitely have to be the Hand with Golden Arrow necklace. So adorable!

  93. She has such a huge and amazing magination making these little pretties O_o
    I love the Hart & hunt golden deer necklace *_*

  94. The silver protective hand ring is really beautiful. I’ve always had a thing for hands since I was a child so these pieces fell right into my heart. All of this work is so so beautiful and i’m holding onto this page to revisit in the future.

  95. It’s hard to choose a favorite. Everything is cute, but I definitely have a top 5. I’m going to have to say that the silver crossed arrows signet ring is my absolute favorite. (:

  96. I’ve been a long time fan of Kaye’s designs. My fave piece is the silvery protective hand bangle. Thanks for this giveaway!

  97. This is my kind of jewelry! I am in love with that dainty little gold hand! So delicate & pretty! Thank you for introducing me to this shop :) xx

  98. I have been pinning after one of these pieces for months ! The Hart & Hunt silver deer necklace is my absolute favourite. I’ve been trying to drop hints to my boyfriend about buying me one but it has not been very successful so far.

  99. every piece is so beautiful, it’s hard to decide which one i like most. but i think, it’s the silver necklace wth the hand and the golden arrow. beautiful work!! <3

  100. I absolutely adore all your jewelry pieces, but the Hart & Hunt in silver especially caught my eye.

    Thank you so much for introducing me to such a talent!

  101. My absolute favorite piece is the watchful eye ring in sterling silver! It reminds me of the evil eye I saw all around Greece and Turkey! It’s just lovely! XO

  102. the Golden Crossed Arrows signet ring is perfect for my other half
    he is a Sagittarius and this ring would suit him very well while being unique and simple at the same time :)

  103. Datter Industries jewelries are so wonderful! Very unique and precious!
    I am in in love the most with the Watchful Eye gold ring.
    Thank you, Erin (and Datter Industries) for the lovely giveaway! Hope I win! :)

  104. all of them all of them all of them ! I love that they are handcrafted.

    I really am in love with almost all of the pieces.

    If i had to pick one it would be the golden watchful eye ring. It would remind me that someone is watching over me…

  105. The heart with golden arrow necklace is incredible! Really delicate but fierce at the same time. Reminds me of myths and history.
    What beautiful jewellery and an awesome talent to have.
    Hannah x

  106. I am in love with the silver protective hand ring. It’s like a little person hugging your finger, it’s so sweet.

  107. I love the tiny sterling silver skull necklace! :)
    I was stuck between the ring or necklace, haha, went for the necklace!

  108. I am in love with the Golden Protective hand bangle by dater! I feel like it is a way of two arms hugging around your wrist since you can not technically wrap it around your body. It seems like a great reminder for security.

  109. I can’t decide between the tiny skull ring, the skull earrings, and the silver protective hand bangle. I want them all!

  110. wow i think i would kill for those sterling sliver arrow stud earrings. i’m a guy so i couldn’t wear them to work, but they wouldn’t definitely be my new defaults when i go back to school.

  111. Wow, there are so many to choose from! It’s rare for me to come across a range where I love everything. The pieces seem to tell different stories to me.

    One hour later…!…

    I think if I had to pick one item it would be the Tiny golden arrow necklace http://www.etsy.com/listing/86718752/tiny-golden-arrow-necklace
    because it’s so beautiful and delicate and I know that I would wear it a lot and that it would go with everything I have as it’s very ‘me’. Whenever I buy jewellery it’s important to me that it’s personal and that it means something to me and this certainly does. It’s beautiful x

  112. My favourite would be the silver protective hand ring. Such a talented designer, I would love one of these unique pieces. Thanks for the giveaway.

  113. Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for this amazing giveaway!! I absolutely LOVE datter and I would probably die for the golden protective hand ring!! (okay maybe not die BUT i would be extremely excited!!!). YOU ROCK!

  114. Love love love these pieces. Subtle and whimsical and stunning. I love Hand with golden arrow necklace

  115. I can’t get enough of the protective hand bangles, they’re so tender. Especially the golden one.

    Thanks for the lovely giveaway.

  116. Fabulous Giveaway! I am torn between the silver tiny cat earrings and the silver month wing ring! Either would be amazing!

  117. My absolute favorite is the skull ring. This piece fascinates me because none of the five skulls are exactly same with the other. Each of them are unique; having their own characteristics and flaws…

  118. Beautiful jewelry!! I love so many pieces! Like the tiny arrow necklace, the bow and arrow neckalce, the silver protective hand ring and the tiny skull ring!

  119. These are such beautiful pieces i adore the Hart & hunt golden dear necklace the row of tiny skulls is amazing i practically love them all.

  120. I loooooove this shop so much! I have visted their Etsy countless times even before this post. My favorite piece is probably the cat earrings. And the watchful eye ring. Oh it’s so hard to choose. What an awesome giveaway.

  121. Wow I love everything they make but I must have the Tiny silver skulls necklace it’s so feminine but a little tough.

  122. Whoa.

    Seriously amazing jewelry. Winning a giveaway or not, I’m totally getting a few of these pieces. It’s really hard to pick a favorite, but I think Iove the silver and brass protective bracelet. Although the spear earrings, the signet rings, and the lapel pins are also super rad.

    Love that they are delicate pieces, but aren’t quiet. Waaaaay impressive – thanks for sharing!

  123. i can’t tell you how much i love this jewelry! the hand with golden arrow necklace is clever and dark and delicate and i love it!

  124. My heart skipped a bit when I saw the tiny sterling silver skull necklace. It looks like the one Robert Mapplethorpe wore when he was a young fellow! (cue Just Kids what a magical book)

  125. The tiny skulls necklace is hands-down my fave, just like the one Robert Mapplethorpe had but in miniature size!

  126. The golden moth ring is so pretty!! I would love this for my birthday whilst rocking out at fesitval beauregard in France! Wink wink, smiley face!

  127. It was really tough to pick just one favorite, but I think I have to pick the silver moth wing ring because it is so beautiful.

  128. In love with the golden watchful eye ring! As soon as I saw it on your post I just had to have it! Great giveaway :)

  129. She does gorgeous work. My faves — It’s a toss up between the silver bow & arrow necklace and the hand with golden arrow necklace. They’re both so beautiful.

    Thanks for the giveaway! <3

    -Ginny

  130. whaaaat?! I love Datter Industries my boyfriend actually introduced me to their designs and i’ve been secretly hoping for a little present from him but alas, no dice. this could be my chance! My favourite is the silver and brass protective hand bracelet. the idea is so loving and warm!

  131. Really love the hand with the golden arrow necklace. If I don’t win, I’m going to have to buy it anyways…

  132. The protective hand bracelet would pair so well so with one my mother gave me from Greece that was hers in her twenties. It had a fist on one side and head on the other.

  133. My favorite piece is the gold protective hand ring! It’s so simple and captivating in design and I’d love to give it to someone special :)

  134. Ive been wanting to venture into arm jewelry, and the Golden protective hand bangle would be a wonderful way to start!
