Are you a “jewelry person?” Meaning, do you always love to accessorize your outfit with rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces? Sometimes a piece or jewelry or two is the “cherry” on top of a great outfit. The right piece of jewelry (or pieces) can really complete an outfit.
Growing up I would never leave home without earrings, a necklace, bracelets and rings. They were mostly fashion jewelry (inexpensive things).I had a lot of pieces in different colors, patterns and designs. I wouldn’t step out of the house without being completely done up with great pieces of jewelry too.
Fast forward to these days. I’m older now, so I’m not really into the “cheap” pieces. I prefer more realistic, classic pieces. I also don’t wear jewelry too much, except for a few pieces. I work with children, so I’m often covered in paint, glitter (even though I love stuff that sparkles!), and glue.
When I go out with my husband or friends, I still love to get all “dolled up,” including jewelry. The more sparkle the better.
My husband jokes that I need to wear “blinders” at the mall when we walk past jewelry stores because the sparkle and shine of the pieces catches my attention all the time. But I’m not about to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on jewelry. It’s just not practical anymore.
I was recently introduced to the brand Starlette Galleria. Starlette Galleria offers a variety of fashionable, cost effective, STUNNING jewelry – including B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L pieces that could serve as engagement rings.
Even though we eloped, my husband still bought me an engagement ring (that’s how he proposed to me). Back then we were young and crazy with hardly a dime to our names. We were silly kids, but that was 26 years ago. So I’d like to think we weren’t that crazy after all.
My engagement ring is just a teeny, tiny diamond. There is nothing fancy about it. I love it regardless as it’s a symbol our my husband’s love and commitment. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Still, there are times I wish we had a big, fancy wedding (not eloping at the local courthouse), and I am often envious of others large and fancy engagement rings.
Starlette Galleria has many lovely engagement rings to choose from. They are ideal for the woman “on the go,” and those who prefer chilling out at home in front of a fireplace rather than a night on the town. They are the perfect “substitute” engagement ring for when you want to leave your pricier ring at home too.
Starlette Galleria’s Engagement Rings are made specifically for the woman who wants the peace of mind knowing that her original engagement ring is at home safe, and that if this one gets left on the bathroom counter at the apple orchard, that it won’t be a ruined day if it comes up missing.
Each stone that you’ll find is 100% simulated diamond material (AAA CZ). The settings are made of certified 925 sterling silver and plated in rhodium or 14k gold to prevent tarnishing. It will never turn your finger green or leave any sort of markings behind.
I was sent one of the brand’s rings to try out for myself. I received their “Gretchen” style ring.
What could be more classic than an emerald cut ring? How about 3 beautifully set stones in a sparkling ring? This 3 stone ring features a 3 carat center stone, flanked on either side by .5 carat stones. All of the 100% simulated diamond material stones (AAA CZ) are emerald cut, with 2 smaller round cut stones on the band. The certified 925 sterling silver band is plated in rhodium to prevent tarnishing. It will never turn your finger green or leave any types of markings behind. This ring is perfect for travel, pregnancy, weddings, engagements, anniversaries, or to treat yourself. If you love the look of the 3 stones, try the Past, Present and Future ring for round cut stones.
I love that they sent me this ring, because I liked the “past, present and future” look to the ring as well. In fact, for our 25th wedding anniversary I was hinting (strongly – ha ha) to my husband for a three stone ring to represent the past, present and future. He ended up gifting me an anniversary band, which I love so much.
This ring is STUNNING! It has all the sparkle and shine that I adore. Whenever I wear it I always find myself gazing at it and moving my finger around just so I can see the sparkle it gives off.
At first I wasn’t use to wearing it because the “diamond” in the center is larger than I’m accustomed to. But now wear it as I would any of my most favorite pieces.
I love that this ring has so much detail to it, including tiny “diamonds” on both sides of the three main stones. When I wear it, it looks like the diamonds go all around the ring (but they don’t… it just appears that way).
I have received a ton of compliments on this ring. Many close family and friends think that it’s real too, and question me as to when my husband bought me such an elaborate ring. When I tell them how much the ring really costs they are flabbergasted.

These rings would make a great gift this holiday season for those who love jewelry, or your significant other who might be too afraid to wear their real diamonds out and about. Starlette Galleria also has necklaces, earrings and bracelets with the same sparkle and shine as their engagement rings (they have other rings as well).
I’m sorry that my photos didn’t do this ring justice. You have to see it in person to appreciate just how gorgeous it truly is.
