SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cast, the San Francisco-based fine jewelry brand known for its artful and modern designs, partnered with internationally renowned creator, tastemaker, actor, and entrepreneur Issa Rae to create the Braeve Collection. The collaboration supports Cast's vision to make artfully designed jewelry more accessible along with their shared passion to inspire and empower the women wearing it. The partnership is a reflection of Issa's own personal jewelry journey from curious, to collector and co-creator. The Braeve Collection launches on September 17, 2024, at Cast Boutiques, CastJewelry.com, and exclusively at select Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com.
The Braeve collection features 22 pieces of 14K Gold, Sterling Silver, Black Onyx, and Cast-created Diamonds, the company's exclusive lab-grown diamond collection. This modern and versatile collection is adaptable for every type of accessories enthusiast with a price range of $250-$5900.
The collaboration is rooted in Issa's genuine love for the brand and appreciation of Cast's artful design, quality and versatility. She can be seen in Cast as she graces September's cover of Fast Company, during the American Black Film Festival, and earlier this year at the 96th Academy Awards, as well as at the 2024 Emmy Awards.
"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."
"Collaborating with Issa Rae for this collection was a dream come true," shares Co-Founder & Chief Creative Officer Rachel Skelly.

We knew this collaboration would be no exception, especially with her unique style and creative vision."
The Braeve collection continues Cast's mission to invite everyone to enjoy artful jewelry. Thoughtfully designed for everyday styling, the Braeve collection transitions from day to night, with pieces that simply stand alone or elegantly stack for a bolder look.
