In 2004, Co-Founder and CEO Beth Gerstein couldn’t find a diamond engagement ring that was ethical, sustainable, and traceable. She wanted the sparkling symbol of her commitment to represent more than love: the perfect piece would also respect the planet and protect its future. On a mission to make the jewelry industry more sustainable and ethical, Beth — alongside Eric Grossberg — founded Brilliant Earth in 2005.
From that first step through today, we've revolutionized the way jewelry is sourced, crafted, sold, and worn. We do not compromise between quality and conscience — and neither do our customers.
“We started Brilliant Earth in 2005 to raise the ethical standards of the diamond industry and to create a new way to buy beautiful fine jewelry.”

Today, 96% of our gold and 97% of our silver is recycled. By 2025, 100% will be recycled or Fairmined.
Recycled materials. Timeless designs. Lifetime warranties. And trade-in programs that give your jewelry new life.
No single-use plastics by 2025. Zero waste in showrooms and offices by 2030.
We have committed to setting near-term company-wide emission reductions.
Award-winning designers in our San Francisco studio dream up each piece, considering every aspect of the distinct design. Then, artisans with masterful attention to detail bring our jewelry to life, so you can wear it forever.
Every aspect of our jewelry is ethically crafted, from the minute the materials are sourced, to the moment you put it on — because we believe you should feel good about what you're wearing.
We craft our jewelry joyfully, and just for you. Whether it's a made-to-order, one-of-a-kind engagement ring or a personalized piece of fine jewelry, our designs reflect the unique story of who you are.
