The Journey of
Elegance

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.

Every Piece Crafted Ethically

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.
