Obviously, shopping is one of our favorite ways to enjoy Pride month, and boy is this True Love cuff a goodie. Designed by London's Alice Cicolini exclusively for new San Francisco–based jeweler Cast, this genderless beauty absolutely radiates l-o-v-e. How could it not, seeing as it features 352 hand-matched sapphires that have been painstakingly arranged by an expert gemologist for a mind-blowing rainbow gradation. Every stone is set in the sterling silver and 14-karat gold cuff with a centerpiece amethyst and black enamel detailing.
Ten percent of proceeds from each sale will benefit Allies in Arts, a nonprofit that supports women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ artists. See you at the parade on Sunday. #LoveWillKeepUsTogether
// $5,000; shop online at castjewelry.com.

If you know, you know. And if you don't, we're gonna spill. Michele Holmes is the Bay Area's favorite and most in-demand brow guru. She's adored for her natural brow shaping technique, which she perfects from her lovely Corte Madera studio. Holmes also used to be a skinny-brow sufferer. Unlike the rest of us, she was in a unique position to do something about it. The result after three-and-a-half years of development is Rye Beauty Grooming Serum. It's both a grooming gel and an eyebrow serum that promotes natural hair growth.
The serum, lightweight with a clear texture, is packed with a blend of a dozen natural and nourishing ingredients that brows love yet doesn't clog pores. The brush is fluffy and easy to work with, too. P.S. This is Holmes' first product, but word is it won't be an only child for long.
// The serum is $42 for 7ml. Shop online at ryebeauty.com
