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."

Langenscheidt gives with \"é\" at the end. looks like that isn\'t really used in English.

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