My favorite ring, besides Sally, is the Farrah. But they are all so beautiful!
One word to describe these rings… elegant.
My most favorite piece would have to be the Josie. I truly value jewelry I can wear everyday, and this ring would stack and blend beautifully with my grandmothers wedding band, and my mothers anniversary band I do not go a day without. As simple as it may seem, her pieces are lovely in the truest definition, perhaps the most classic term for beauty.
My favorite is the Sally. This ring along with the others are radiant.
I love the Audrey ring! The three stones can represent so much. My one word would be romantic. :)
Actually, I like Sally the best. Since someone has already described them as ethereal, I’ll add to that there’s something soft about her rings.
Oh gosh, I love these! The Audrey is my favorite… I would describe this whole collection as timeless.
I love the Mermaid Ring with Smokey Quartz. That ring is “sook-tastastic”!!

In LOVE with the Farrah ring. I would describe her designs as “classic” and “dainty.” Such a great giveaway!!
I love the Grace mermaid ring… simple, but still unique
My word for her jewerly is Serene
The Farrah! It looks like candy! Scrumptious is my word!
My favorite has to be the stardust ring with white quartz. It’s delicate, yet makes a statement.. One word to describe Betsey’s designs: glamorous.
I love the “Luella”-ring – it’s simply gorgeous! My word would be “poetic”
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious the Lucy Mermaid Ring w. Blue Topaz ring, as it allows for wearing something uniquely and unexpectedly blue.
I love the Grace mermaid ring the most!!! It’s so simple, yet personal.
My one word for her jewelry is lovely!
The diamond flutter band is crazy amazing! It is so chic and effortless- I love love love it! I would describe her jewelry as divine!
I love these rings, the stella mermaid ring is my favorite by a very small margin, they’re all beautiful. Almost too hard to choose! Which also goes for a one-word descriptions! My first thought when I opened up the site was “soft” but I think really what I meant was “enchanting”. Great giveaway! ( hanlonrunner [at] yahoo [dot] com )
My favorite is the Audrey ~~it sings to me, it is absolutely ‘melodious’.
I am enchanted with the Shell Mermaid with pink tourmaline. Stunningly organic simplicity. Betsy’s line speaks my language. Simply “elegant”.
I absolutely adore Josie. The style is positively prim and incredibly smart. Her designs are effortlessly chic and ethically sound. Does not get any better.
(jillianmartin@socal.rr.com)
I especially love the Audrey: Shimmer Ring w. Diamonds and Rose Quartz! One word to describe her work? Halcyonic. Thanks for the contest!
Oh my, the words dainty, charming, precious, and exquisite all come to mind while perusing the Betsey Sook site, but if I must narrow it down to one defining word, I would define her collection as “graceful.”
My favorite is the Sally Stardust. Delicate and feminine, Betsey Sook’s jewelry would be best described as “graceful.”
definitely the Josie. (Betsey Sook 8 Diamond Flutter Band) word would be “timeless”
I’m all about the Christina! I’d say her line (the Christina in general) is so “effortless”.
I love the Brigitte w/ Lemon Quartz. So beautiful! My one word would have to be “seraphic” – the rings are simple yet heavenly.
Beautiful!!! I’m in LOVE with Sally: Stardust Ring w. White Quartz. My word to describe her collection would be “Hierloom”
Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful rings. I would love love love for my boyfriend to propose with the Raquel (or the Luella). Everyone has added such wonderful words to describe her work. I will have to go with “perfection” because to me, they are perfect.
What a wonderful collection! I love love love the Audrey: Shimmer Ring w. Diamonds and Rose Quartz (http://shop.betseysook.com/product/audrey-shimmer-ring-w-diamonds-and-rose-quartz). It’s gorgeous! I am a big fan of round stones (it’s what I got on my engagement ring!) and I love the setting. The addition of the two sparkly little diamonds didn’t hurt either! If I had to pick a word to describe her collection, I think it would have to whimsical. It’s immediately the first thing I thought of. The matte finish on all the metals with the subdued hues – these would be gorgeous accessories to an engagement photo shoot in a field of lush flowers!
My favorite is the lovely Audrey Ring. So simple, yet incredibly unique, as are all of her rings, each in their own way. I would say the collection is “celestial.” Simply divine!
I love the Sally ring – it’s versatile and classic. If I had to choose only one word to describe the collection, it would be “tranquil,” since they are quiet, self-contained, and not at all fussy.
The Raquel is stunning! “Poetic” was the first word that came to mind, but then I saw that was part of the branding! So I will say “heavenly”. Light, airy and feminine in design though awe inspiring.
I would love to win that ring since the fiance and I can’t afford to buy me an engagement ring. If I had my pick of Betsey’s entire line, I’d choose Christina in white gold. I think these rings are “blythe”.
The Sally Stardust Ring w/ White Quartz is undoubtly my favorite piece. They are all so elegantly beautiful and quintessentially “me”! If I had to use one word to describe them I’d have to say delicatethereal ( delicate and ethereal). I just couldn’t think of a “real” word that fit just right!
The Lucy Mermaid Ring with Blue Topaz is undoubtedly my favorite. For me, Betsey’s Jewelry makes me thing of the word “demure” …beautiful, but in a quiet and timeless way.
The Lucy mermaid ring with the blue topaz is so pretty :) I’d describe her jewelry as airy.
I love the Luella! And my word would be ‘dainty.’
The Audry ring is my favorite. A word to describe her jewelry would be “halcyon”.
The Luella ring makes my heart flutter.
This line is so authentically elegant!
1) The Lucy!
2) Simple/Clean

I love the Sally: Stardust Ring w. White Quartz
I would describe her style like a romantic picnic at the beach, filled with hidden kisses & sweet embraces.

i love the ‘grace: mermaid ring with smokey quartz’! her designs are “poetic”
They are all so simply beutiful it is so hard to pick just one! But if I had to pick my very favorite it has to be the Sally ring, it’s gorgeous! Thank you for this amazing giveaway! Fingers crossed! And the only way to describe these rings is enchanting!

My favorite is the Audrey (the Shimmer Ring with Diamonds and Rose Quartz). It’s such a beautiful and dreamy looking ring!!
I would describe her rings as airy. So gorgeous!!
I LOVE the Stardust ring! Her rings are so exquisite!
I have been looking for something to replace my wedding band that was lost and the Lucy: Mermaid Ring w. Blue Topaz is perfect and would look great staked with the “Sally” ring! Not only is it gold and crisp blue (one of my fav combos) BUT Lucia is my daughter’s name! How sweet would it be to pass one down to her. And if you name a ring “Lucy”(the patron saint of the blind) the only word to describe it would be =
incandescent.
april@2tarts.com

Tnappier84@gmail.com
my favorie ring is the Farrah mermaid ring with green amethyst! My favorite stone and rose cut in gold?!? simple and delicate.
The Audrey: Shimmer Ring w. Diamonds and Rose Quartz is stunning. It’s perfect for the girl who doesn’t need a huge diamond to show she is loved. The Audrey ring speaks to true beauty and the clean, beautiful lines of nature. I love it!
Ethereal.
Although the Audrey is lovely, I am a white gold kind of girl, so I would choose the Christina Papillon.
I think an appropriate description would be “subtly ethereal”, as in: the jewelry has a quality that seems otherworldly, but it doesn’t try too hard to grab attention (the subtle is very important here!). The Raquel is my favorite ring!
I love the Raquel. It’s completely feminine, delicate and timeless.
My favorite piece is the Brigitte: Mermaid Ring w. Lemon Quartz. I have always loved mermaids and considered myself to be one. I would definitely describe it as fanciful and magical.
Grace: Mermaid Ring w. Smokey Quartz is my favorite. All of the jewelry brings to mind the word aqueous. They are just beautiful… I love the unique color of the smokey quartz! nadostaler@yahoo.com
I love the Mermaid Ring with Smokey Quartz.. I think the whole collection is “ethereal” :)
I love the Audrey Shimmer Ring w. Diamonds and Rose Quartz. Her jewelry is absolutely otherworldly, as if it’s straight from fairyland!
I would say “eldritch” is a possible word, in a positive way over course; i.e. eerily beautiful! :) I love them all, but the Farrah Mermaid Ring is particularly enchanting!
My favorite is sally, I love it, but I like luella too. Timeless is the word.
The Luella is definitely my favorite, it’s so feminine and delicate! I’d describe Betsey Sook’s designs as “idyllic”.
I looove the Sally ring! Light and ethereal!!!
I LOVE the “Brigitte: Mermaid Ring w. Lemon Quartz” — and I would use the word “captivating” to describe her work!
My favorite is the Farrah mermaid ring with the green amethyst. And I think a lovely word to describe this beautiful collection is “coquettish.” They are simply elegant, without gaudiness; but they have a little flirty color and modern shapes!
My favourite Betsey Sook is the Christina: Papillon Diamond Triple Ring (White Gold).
I would definitely describe her collection as majestic.

I love the Luella! I would describe Betsey’s work as “ethereal”. If I win, you can contact me at elizabeth dot k dot parisi at gmail dot com.
The Sally is my favorite. It’s so beautiful. A word I’d use to describe the line is eloquent. The jewelry is perfectly expressive and concise.
I love the Stella Mermaid ring with Purple Amethyst. I would describe her designs as clean.
I love the smoky quartz in the “Grace.” Her jewelry is graceful and elegant, with a beautiful simplicity.
Josie is beautiful– I think her designs are SUBLIME!

Josie is subliminal.
I love the Sally ring, it’s perfectly winsome.
Absolutely love Sally: Stardust Ring w. White Quartz. All of these rings are stunning.
I am torn between the Christina and the Audrey! All of the rings are just gorgeous! I think my one word to describe her work would be: balanced. As a designer myself I realize how hard it is to stop designing and let it be.
I really love the Christina Ring! It’s soo elegant and unique! The word i would describe her work as is “opulent” because all of her designs are fit for a queen:)
the Luella is perfect! My one word to capture the collection, “je t’aime”
stephanie.warner9@gmail.com
I can’t tell whether I like the Mermaid (green amethyst) or Josie better! Both are ethereal!
I love love love this jewelry! My favorite is the Audrey: Shimmer Ring with Diamonds and Rose Quartz. Since I can only choose one word to describe these pieces, I would say that they are celestial.
Each Betsey Sook piece is so perfect. My favorite is the Luella ring and I think her style can best be described as “harmonious”….
Audrey: Shimmer Ring w/ Diamonds and Rose Quartz. The word: delicate.
1 – Sally! i love the setting
2 – dreamy
The Sally is my favorite, and has the feeling of floating. Understated elegance comes to mind when I look at Betsey Sook’s creations.
jessagarrow@gmail.com
The Betsey Sook 8 Diamond Flutter Band. Clean.
I love the “Raquel”. Delicate is the word that comes to my mind.
I love the Sally: Stardust ring! The word that comes to mind for me is timeless.
my favorite is the Grace: Mermaid Ring with Smokey Quartz! The magic word for me is Integrity.
I like the Luella Papillon Diamond Triple Ring. A word to describe these? Transparent.
The Shelly is my fave! If I had to describe her jewelery I would say simplistic! Each piece looks feminine without being over the top flashy!
I love the Stella Mermaid ring with the Purple Amethyst! The word for me is confident – these are rings that say you know what you want and you love beauty and simplicity.
Farrah: Mermaid Ring w. Green Amethyst was my favorite.
The word that popped into my head when looking at these rings was “gamine”
I love these designs. The Josie and Raquel are my favorites. Ethereal is the only I could describe them!
I love the Sally ring with White Quartz, absolutely beautiful and would be a treasure for life! I am between two description words, whimsical, because of the colours and delicated nature of the rings and understated, I love jewellery that is quietly confident, that you need to pay attention to admire, love it!
I love the Sally ring. It is delicate and feminine.
I think the Audrey is my favorite, though they’re all beautiful! And the word I would use to describe Betsey’s jewelry is “clean!”
The Stella ring has to be my favorite. I’m sure it’s already been said, but to me, these pieces feel elegant and refined.
I love the Sally ring, too! I think Betsey’s jewelry is whimsical!
My favorite ring: Farrah, with her soft green stone and warm golden richness. One word to describe Betsey’s work: clean.
My favorite has to be the Stella because it reminds me so much of this ring my grandmother always wore and I loved. It’s tough to describe the perfectly simple beauty of Betsey’s jewelry in one word but I’d go with “lovely” even if that is quite a boring word I think it has a classy connotation.
I love the Sally Stardust ring. It’s timeless.
I just love the Luella. Its gorgeous and simple, which I LOVE!
If I were to describe her jewelry, I would have to say clean!
All of her pieces are just gorgeous, but I think my absolute favorite would have to be the Farrah Mermaid Ring w. Green Amethyst. And I think the perfect word to describe Betsey’s creations is ‘ethereal’!
All of the pieces are very beautiful! My favorite (for obvious reasons) is the Audrey!!! My name is not too common and to have it named for such a gorgeous ring is amazing. The Betsey creations are very elegant and have just a touch of femininity, which suits me perfectly and is why I love them!
Very hard to choose, but I do love the Josie. And if I had to boil her designs down to one word, I would have to say “delicate”. Everything seems so feminine and balanced!!
I love the Lucy ring and I would describe the jewelry as elegant!
I’m completely in love with Luella. Besides perfect, the best word for Betsey’s design must be timeless – timeless beauty and timeless design.
Farrah is stunning.
Betsey’s work reminds me of the type of beauty in new love.,. Thus I have chosen the word mamihlapinatapais from the Yaghan language of Tierra del Fuego. It means: a look shared by two people, each hoping that the other will initiate something that both desire but that neither one wants to start.. It is considered the world’s most succinct word. Similarly, Betsey’s art is beautiful in it’s simplicity yet is hard to translate into words.
All the rings have their own special quality. I absolutely love the Josie ring. The best word to describe the Josie ring would be “essential.” It is an essential piece to wear, admire, and to present to someone you adore and cherish!
Farrah Mermaid Ring with a Green Amethyst. A word to describe Betsey Sook jewelery would be – Graceful
Oh my word. I love these rings. I don’t have a diamond ring, just a wedding band, by my own choice, because I have never found any that I liked…until these. I think I have a three way tie between the Audrey, the Lucy and the Christina. Ahhh. Because I have never been so moved by diamond jewelry before, my word to describe is one-and-only.
I love the Audrey! Betsey Sook is so ethereal!
My fav is the Luella. I would describe Betsey Sook jewelry as charismatic.
So beautiful! I love the Sally and Lucy rings. I would describe Betsey Sook jewelry as inspiring!
Audrey … simply delicious!
The Audrey ring grabbed me first. I would say all of the pieces convey a sense of being “untethered”.
i love the raquel! and i would describe these rings as timeless.
The Sally ring is absolutely my favorite piece, although the Farrah and Audrey rings are a very close second and third. I feel a sense of restraint, reflection, and quiet elegance in all the designs, and after reading all of the posted comments and stories shared here, it’s even more apparent to me that Betsey’s creations are EVOCATIVE.
1) Shimmer ring w/diamonds and Rose Quartz 2) bespoke
Luella is exquisite! and I think delicious describes them best.
My favorite piece of her jewelry is the Sally and Grace. One one: simplicity. Love!
i’m obsessed with the raquel. and the one word that kept coming to mind as i browsed the site was ‘magical.’ really these gems are unreal!
I love the Sally: Stardust Ring w White Quartz. Once word: Lucent. So dazzling and bright in such a simple way. pick me! pick me!
The Sally ring is probably my favorite though it is very difficult to choose just one! Betsey clearly has the word “feminine” in mind when she designed these delightful beauties! yes, that’s the word that describes these rings best, “feminine.”
I love the Sally ring! I would be so lucky to wear such a delicate piece of jewelry!
I would definitely describe Betsey’s jewelry as ethereal. Just gorgeous! The Raquel is my favorite!
I’d be lucky to win the feminine Sally ring!
Shelly – oh that pink! In one word – slight, emphasis on light.
