The Perfect Engagement Ring!!!

by KatieChristensen at Citysearch

I could not be happier with the incredibly beautiful engagement ring my fiance purchased at Brilliant Earth - it's gorgeous!! After spending much time ring shopping/browsing at Tiffany, DeBeers and other diamond retailers, we were actually left feeling quite uncomfortable with the concept of purchasing something that is supposed to signify such an important connection between two people, yet we didn't even feel comfortable with the sales people who were helping us - and most importantly, they had no real proof that the diamonds were ethically mined other than a photocopied piece of paper that one of their employees typed up (personally, I can't handle the thought of wearing a piece of jewelry knowing there might even be a slight chance that a human being has suffered in some way for me to have this ring on my finger). After some research, I came across Brilliant Earth and was thrilled to see that the rings are 100% conflict free (with no question or doubt) - ethically and environmentally safe! And, working with Danielle and Brilliant Earth was such a pleasure - we felt like she was truly our partner, making sure to give us the time and attention we needed in order to make this large purchase that will be passed down through generations! We felt comfortable and incredibly pleased with the entire experience and I would recommend that anyone who is socially/ethically and environmentally conscious and is looking for a gorgeous piece of jewelry, search no further - Brilliant Earth is the place to go! I get compliments on my ring everyday! Beautiful :)

• Pros: Beautiful conflict free diamonds and jewerly collection!

Conflict free and friendly

My engagement ring and wedding band are both from Brilliant Earth, a company that uses conflict free certified diamonds and reclaimed metal. It came in a sustainable bambo box... yeah, we're hippies. They are designing my wedding band too. It's a wonderful company! They are so nice!

• Pros: Knowing your engagement ring is conflict free
• Cons: None

Awesome company to do business with

by Miranda Naylor at Citysearch

My fiance ordered my engagement ring from Brilliant Earth. I must admit that I was a bit concerned about him ordering a ring from a website without seeing it in person. When he received the email saying that it had shipped out and was expected to be delivered the next morning by 10:30 we were ecstatic. The suspense was killing me as we were sitting in the living room waiting for FedEx. Finally the FedEx guy arrived with the package, I ran to the door and signed for the package. Nicholas opened it and got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. I said yes of course. The ring was absolutely perfect. I was surprised that it was so beautiful, was much better than I had expected, I love it. Inside the package there was also a handwritten card from someone at Brilliant Earth. I thought that personal touch was wonderful for a company to include. The ring came in a wooden box which I thought was also a nice touch. In the future I am sure we will be doing business with Brilliant Earth. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that is looking for engagement rings or wedding bands. They not only create spectacular jewelry, they create memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Brilliant Earth!!
