Cosmopolitan chats with Issa Rae about her new "Braeve" Collection with fine jeweler Cast, what she has to say to haters, what's next in fashion, and her creative process.

Rae’s love for Cast’s fine jewels isn’t new. In fact, she has worn the brand quite a few times, including during one of the most special moments in any film icon’s career: the Academy Awards. But Rae’s also a firm believer in not waiting until there’s a special occasion to wear your best pieces.

In an exclusive campaign release, Rae details how fitting it is to be partnering with Stuart Weitzman in this way. Especially given that she's been wearing glasses for years.

The Braeve Collection of gold and silver arm cuffs, hoop earrings, rings, and statement pendant necklaces exude Rae’s confidence.

The “Braeve” collection features 22 pieces of 14K gold, sterling silver and black onyx in addition to lab-grown diamonds which the company calls Cast-created diamonds. Pricing ranges between $250 to $5900 and the items are exclusively available online at Cast’s website and Nordstrom’s official site.

Highly acclaimed for her roles in Insecure, Barbie and American Fiction, actress, writer and entrepreneur Issa Rae has officially ventured into jewelry design. The multi-hyphenate artist has teamed with San Francisco-based fine jewelry brand Cast on a 22-piece collection that embodies the actress’s personal style and echoes her and Cast’s shared priorities of artful design,
