Known for her exceptional performances in “Insecure”, “Barbie” and “American Fiction”, the multi-talented Issa Rae – an actress, writer, and businesswoman – has now stepped into the world of jewelry design.
The versatile artist, known for her multiple talents, has collaborated with San Francisco’s luxury jewelry brand, Cast, on a 22-piece collection. This collaboration reflects the actress’s unique personal style and mirrors the shared values between her and Cast, which include artistic design, quality craftsmanship, and adaptability.
I, as a storyteller, resonated with Cast’s approach to jewelry purchasing, which deviates from the conventional narrative that women only receive jewelry as gifts from men. Instead, their philosophy encourages women to treat themselves, a refreshing change in line with my values. (THR)
The Braeve Jewelry Collection showcases earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets crafted from 14K gold, sterling silver, black onyx, and Cast-created diamonds – an exclusive line of lab-grown diamonds. In the creation of these pieces, the actress emphasized their versatility, enabling them to move seamlessly between daytime and evening wear, either enhancing glamorous red carpet ensembles or transforming even the simplest outfits into eye-catching statements.

Rae shared that her daily attire is casual – jeans, t-shirts, and Chucks are her go-to outfits. However, she finds a way to dress up with jewelry, which serves as a sign of fitting in or making an effort, similar to her work ethic in the office. Even when she keeps her hair in a bun and skips makeup, she will adorn herself with jewelry, giving off the impression that she has made an effort.
Later on, she openly shared her preference for The Braeve Pendant Necklace from the collection, admiring its distinctiveness and unquestionable adaptability. This pendant is exceptional because of Cast’s innovative Flip Design, which allows for three different appearances by switching between a solid gold side, a solid onyx side, and a combination of both.
Rae playfully comments, “I treat it like a emotional pendant, or an emotional choker if you will, and I warn others that if it’s black, they shouldn’t mess with me, if it’s gold, I’m open to being approached, and if it’s somewhere in between, that means I’m neutral.
Starting next Tuesday, September 17th, you can purchase the stylish and enduring Braeve Pendant Necklace and other contemporary yet classic items from the collection at castjewelry.com. Some styles will also be available at nordstrom.com. Prices for these pieces vary between $250 and $5,900.
At the moment, Rae is engaged in post-production for a buddy comedy she’s producing, featuring SZA and Keke Palmer. She’s also busy working on several TV series that she’s thrilled about, as well as a film starring an actor she admires deeply.
