"I deeply admire the Cast ethos, their unique collaborative
approach to jewelry and their focus on sustainability," shares
Issa Rae. "I was honored to
collaborate with them on the Braeve collection to create timeless,
elegant, and bold pieces. I loved experimenting with shapes,
textures, and silhouettes and I can't wait for everyone to
experience this collection."

this collection was a dream come true," shares Co-Founder &

bolder look.
