Oligo Giveaways Official Rules
Remember to tell your friends!
Oligoville has partnered with String-Ring by Tina Mansfield to bring you another great giveaway just in time for Valentines Day!
Enter for your chance to win a Love String-Ring by Tina Mansfield. The sterling silver ring creates a beautiful reminder to all of us this Valentines Day.
Have you ever heard of tying a string around your finger to help remember something?
The colored strings can be changed as often as desired depending on the message you wish to remember. For example, red or pink is the color of love and is a reminder to be kind to one another. Blue represents tranquility, and promotes patience with others. Purple stands for empathy and serves as a sign to be tolerant of the differences between us. Silver symbolizes wisdom and understanding and is a reminder to forgive. Gold is the color of wealth and acts as reminder to give…not just money, but your attention, time, knowledge, or even a smile. Green is a reminder to respect the environment and all other living things. Orange represents energy and enthusiasm and is a reminder to laugh – “Especially at ourselves,” said Tina Mansfield, the ring’s creator.
Design Inspiration: String-Ring by Tina Mansfield
It seems to me as though everywhere you look, you come across rude behavior in our society. I’ve observed, through personal experience or news programming, such violent behavior as road rage, campus rampages, ugly office politics, weapons and threats in the schools, most recently cyber bullies, and simply just a basic lack of respect in our everyday interactions with those around us. I’ve asked myself, “How can we teach our children to be kind and compassionate when such aggressive behavior is exhibited everywhere you look?”
One evening, my husband asked me to critique the layout design of a jewelry website he had just built for a western jewelry designer whose work was heavy on symbolism, String-Ring started to take shape. Thinking to myself, “I could create an inspirational ring reminding people to be kind using the old custom of tying a string around your finger.”
Registration for this giveaway closes on Monday Feb. 2nd at 12:00 AM (CST). The winner will be randomly selected and announced in our next round of newsletters along with information to our next great giveaway. Please note, you must be living within the United States to qualify for this giveaway.

Very original and pretty! Awwww… =]
i am very forgetful! maybe this could help! so cute
This is a wonderful concept and sentiment. I love this ring!
So sweet for Valentines Day! I love it!
Love the ring! I use ponytail holders on my wrist. When I nursed our son, I would swap wrists with the ponytail holder accordingly to help me remember….
This is great. I love it, but should a nursing mom get it, then this would be a great way to help her remember…..

I used to tie strings around my fingers! I was a child though. This is the perfect adult version.
Amazing idea. I love that you have listings for each color. I personally would be sporting the reminder to love and enjoy….but that’s just me. And who knows maybe other days I would opt for some of the other colors.
What a pretty ring and a fun idea.
