Malina Saval Associate Editor, FeaturesAs Hollywood works to widen its breadth of racial and cultural diversity in its film and TV projects, there’s never been a better time to flaunt one’s ethnic and religious pride on the red carpet.

And that includes jewelry. From dainty Jewish star studs to glimmering evil eye necklaces, top players in the entertainment industry are bedecking themselves in bijoux representing religions, cultures and traditions.Los Angeles-based jewelry designer Brooke Rayn, whose eponymous line was launched in 2020 and favored by celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Selma Blair, Jenna Dewan and Mayim Bialik, has included everything from diamond hamsa necklaces to diamond cross rings in her latest collection.

What’s notable about these delicate — and affordably priced — designs is that whether worn to a glitzy awards season soiree or a casual supermarket run, they are always, per Rayn, “normal, enjoyable, wearable pieces.” Among Rayn’s go-to pieces is the diamond Star of David necklace, which comes in white, yellow or rose gold.

Worn by “Superman & Lois” star Emmanuelle Chriqui and “In Treatment” co-executive producer and book author Noa Tishby, the “traditional, minimal” best-selling necklace is one of Rayn’s most requested items.“It’s a little bit updated, but a little bit old timey,” says Rayn of the necklace’s ever-rising popularity. “With its six points and the way it points out to different directions — people feel it’s a reminder of the presence of God in your life and that feeling of protection.”The Star of David necklace, which Rayn recommends wearing solo or paired with her line’s diamond choker necklace because it “just works with everything,” has become such a hit, Rayn added Star of David.
