Want to be a star? Throw a “de la” in your name. Oscar de la Renta (CFDA winner), De La Soul (Grammy winners), and Oscar de la Hoya (gold medal winner) can confirm this.

As can master jeweler Gabriela de la Vega.

The Brooklyn-based, self-taught designer creates handwrought jewelry inspired by her multicultural background. Necklaces drip with complicated clusters of gems, while many of the bracelets feature weblike clumps of stones interwoven carefully with gold strands. 

For a real stunner, check out the Verushka necklace, a complicated arrangement of different size aquamarine, blue topaz, and tourmaline stones. The Marquise Midi earrings dazzle with amethysts twisted into a vine shape. There’s also a special collection of necklaces fitted with old-fashioned-looking gold keys.

Many of the baubles have graced the necks, ears, and wrists of Ali MacGraw, Natasha Richardson, and Candice Bergen.

There goes that star power again.
