A number of celebrities wore the pins to the Grammys, including Carole King, Billie Eilish, Kehlani, Rhiannon Giddens, and Brandi Carlile.

Decked out from her head to her toes, Tyla also wore the “Era” anklet with bezel-set lab-grown diamonds dangling on a paperclip chain, the “Era” bracelet, and two handfuls of “Era” and “Infinite” rings in 14-karat yellow gold with lab-grown diamonds.
