Starry Designs on Pajama Mommy Community

Holly of Pajama Mommy Community was browsing through Etsy when she stumbled upon Starry Designs. Holly received a bird's nest ring and a pair of oxidized earrings and was taken aback by the beauty of the ring and how lightweight the earrings were.

Here is an excerpt of the article:

Starry Designs offers unique jewelry guaranteed to match any woman’s style, no matter what age group you fall into. They carry rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and pendants, as well as an incredibly exceptional line of rings and earrings that look like birds nests, which I was thoroughly impressed with.

Besides getting a wonderful review, Starry Designs has also been Jammy Approved! Congratulations, Cindy!

Jammy Approved is a section that singles out the reviews that they have done in which they were very impressed by the product and absolutely love.

at heart, these softies are reminders for us to appreciate the good things
in life, like a hug every now and then, that silly smile or laugh for no

daily. No batteries required.
