I find of course entries galore, including illustrations, of all sorts of Strassringe. But I still do not know whether the Strass part is a brand, or refers to the street i.e. something one wears ordinarely "on the street".
Any jewelry or fashion experts out there to help? TIA.

Comment: "zirconia is what my wife bet on too. And given the total list of things (and the owner's penchant for glitter) I go with this, thanking all of you who participated."

rhinestone rings
Rhinestones are just glass cut in facettes to resemble cut gems.
