Our take
Brilliant Earth has been working since 2005 to provide luxury, ethically sourced jewelry 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. 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 on how far luxury jewelry customers are willing to make the digital switch in their purchasing habits, but with its IPO in 2021 gaining it wider recognition, Brilliant Earth has real opportunity moving forward.
