Ashtan: “I got this necklace from my parents for my 16th birthday and have put it on everyday since then! I love it!”

What a fantastic photo, it looks like you had some fun creating the setting for it too! Candace, Ashtan’s mum says:

“I was once a professional children’s photographer who’s business closed due to the economy. The stress of it all, I fell out of love with my camera. So, it’s funny how this little competition, an awesome necklace design… and a daughter who loves Oye Modern inspired me to dust off the camera and have some fun! So, I should thank you for inspiring me to have a fun photography day with my 3 kids….out in my garage!”

There’s certainly no doubt this photo is deserving of a $150 gift voucher. Congratulations Candace and Ashtan!

The runners-up

It wasn’t easy to select the winning photo, here are a few of the photos that got close!

A setting close to my heart, Times Square in NYC is right by the Diamond District, where I spent a lot of my own time and money purchasing supplies for my jewellery hobby a few years ago.

LOVE the “Pick me!” message on the Blackboard brooch, very clever. And the setting at Maroubra Beach (Sydney, Australia) makes me want to be there right now!
