Company mission
To cultivate a more transparent, sustainable, compassionate & inclusive jewelry industry.
Our take
Brilliant Earth has been working since 2005 to provide luxury, ethically sourced jewellery direct to consumers. The company specializes in diamonds from Canada, Botswana and Russia, and successfully went public in 2021.
Sourcing conflict-free gemstones is an increasing priority in jewelry purchasing, especially for Brilliant Earth’s predominantly Millennial and Gen Z customer base. This may prove interesting terrain to navigate: whilst these generations are more inclined towards eCommerce, high-end jewelry shoppers have proven resistant to shopping online. So Brilliant Earth may need to maintain its brick-and-mortar showrooms.
Scaling up their online presence, however, may help them net a good share of what continues to be a highly fragmented market. Much may depend going forward on how far luxury jewelry customers are willing to make the digital switch in their purchasing habits. With companies like Signet Jewelers reporting substantial boosts in eCommerce sales, there may yet be an appetite for it, and Brilliant Earth's IPO in 2021 has helped it gain wider recognition.
