We had a great experience! We stopped in due to an issues with some earrings, and Steven was so helpful! Not only was the issue resolved, but I also got my jewelry cleaned (for free) and we really enjoyed chatting with Steven. The showroom had some beautiful jewelry, too. Five stars! read more

We chose this location because I fell in love with a particular ring, and the customer service was so great we will probably purchase our wedding bands from here! It's totally fine if you know nothing about rings- the associates will walk you through the ENTIRE engagement ring process. They'll teach you about the importance of cut, carat, clarity, color and most of all COST. They also have lab grown diamonds which are a great economical and ethical choice if you're looking for a diamond you can feel good about. read more

Brilliant Earth - Jewelry Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

My engagement ring was purchased from Brilliant Earth. It's gorgeous and unique, but I can't wear it. The accent diamonds fall out every few months. The repair specialist told us it's normal for the prongs along the band to bend and for the accent diamonds to fall out with normal wear. This was never disclosed to us when we purchased the ring. After the purchase, we were informed that it should be sent back to them at least once a year for inspection. Fortunately, we purchased the lifetime warranty, but we still have to mail the ring in and file an insurance claim for every inspector and repair. And their customer service associates are not friendly or responsive. As beautiful as my ring is, it's not worth all the hassle and hidden costs. read more

I honestly left this experience heartbroken and disappointed. This was my partner and I's first time engagement ring shopping. This was supposed to be a really special and exciting milestone for us, but instead, I left the store feeling embarrassed, uncomfortable, and genuinely hurt. We were already nervous going into the appointment because this was completely new for us. We arrived about 30 minutes late because we could not find parking, and we called the store around 5:05 PM to let them know we were running behind. We completely understood that our appointment would have to be shortened, and when we were told that we could still do about half of the appointment, we were okay with that. We weren't expecting special treatment or extra time. We were simply excited to have the opportunity to start this experience together. Bri was the representative assisting us, and unfortunately, her attitude made an already nerve-wracking experience so much worse. From the beginning, I felt like I was being talked down to. I told her that I wasn't very familiar with ring settings and that I wasn't particularly picky because I was genuinely looking for guidance. Instead of feeling like I had someone there to help me navigate something I knew very little about, I felt like every question I asked was met with a snarky or condescending response. At one point, I tried on a ring with a gold band and mentioned that I'm typically more of a silver-toned jewelry person. Her response was that everything is customizable and that I was "just trying bands on." I understand that the rings are customizable. I wasn't confused about that--I was simply expressing my preference and trying to understand what I liked and didn't like. It's difficult to explain how upsetting the overall interaction was because it wasn't just one comment. It was the entire energy of the appointment. I felt rushed. I felt like we were inconveniencing her. I felt uncomfortable asking questions. And instead of leaving excited about potentially finding my engagement ring, I left questioning whether I had done something wrong. I completely understand that we were late. We took responsibility for that. But if the remaining 30 minutes wasn't enough time for Bri to provide us with a welcoming and respectful experience, we should have simply been told that we needed to reschedule. We would have understood. What I don't understand is why we were allowed to continue with the appointment only to be made to feel like our presence was a burden. This was supposed to be a memory I looked back on fondly. This was the first step in choosing something that I may wear for the rest of my life, and I wanted to feel excited, supported, and celebrated. Instead, I walked out of Brilliant Earth feeling hurt and honestly dreading the idea of continuing the ring-shopping process. I don't expect someone helping me shop for an engagement ring to know exactly what I want when I walk through the door. That's literally why I'm there. I expect patience. I expect kindness. I expect someone to understand that this is an emotional and meaningful purchase and that I may have questions. I sincerely hope management takes this feedback seriously. No couple should walk into their first engagement ring appointment feeling nervous and excited and walk out feeling embarrassed and defeated. We deserved a better experience than the one we received. read more

Truly unbelievable--I STILL don't have my ring back! Checked in and was told it would take until August 7th, which means they had the ring for MONTHS. Sent a follow up email to the manager to see what was going on after, shocker, August 7th came and went without hearing anything. Why the customer had to be the one to initiate that conversation, I will never know. Finally called to follow up after zero response to my email, and was told it was at the showroom. We'll see if they actually have it back in good condition for me this time, since the last time they sent it back in pieces after being unable to make the repair. So, to recap: engaged November 2023, needed repairs and was without the ring for weeks in June/July 2024, ring broken this last time since February 2025, so OVER 6 MONTHS out of 21 without it, including not having it for my WEDDING in March of 2025. DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT $200, AVOID THIS COMPANY. read more

Went here for an appointment to look at wedding bands. You have to schedule online in advance. I was greeted with water and a small chocolate bar. The sitting room is comfortable but needs to be vacuumed. My appointment started several minutes late, despite being the first of the day. I filled out a form with rings I wanted to try in advance and they had many of them available for me to try. The sales person that worked with me was very patient and helpful with suggestions! I spent around 45 minutes trying on options to decide what I wanted. They emailed me afterward with my top picks which was helpful too. Brilliant Earth has many trendy and classic styles ranging in price, so I certainly recommend if you're trying to narrow down to what you like. read more

My partner and I set up an appointment online. When we got there we were extremely confused because the place looked desolate. You'll find a call box, and you'll be let in if you have an appointment. Then you'll enter into two more keyless entry doors. Super secure, but understandably so. It was a fun experience. I came in with zero knowledge of rings or what I want, but now I have a general idea. Learned about the 4 C's and the different shapes of a Diamond. Asia was really kind and helpful and she even helped size my finger -- the smallest ring size she's ever fit at 3.75 LOL Highly recommend setting up an appointment if you are completely clueless as I was coming in. You'll definitely find some...clarity on your engagement ring :) read more

We had a lovely experience trying on rings here. Our service was outstanding - Brilliant Earth was patient, attentive, and answered all of our questions! They did not have the exact shape I wanted, but made an effort to bring out so many alike but also different options. I fell in love with one very quickly and we are waiting next steps to order the exact stone online. We will be back! Also the lab grown value was very affordable! read more

I had a really unique design in mind when my boyfriend and I started looking for engagement rings, and after viewing Brilliant Earth stunning work, I knew this was the company we wanted to work with to bring it to life. Katie put in a lot of efforts to work on my ideas and the result was even better than I had imagined. We even got our ring engraved with the wedding date. Katie made sure we got the ring on time - was very understanding when I struggled to make decisions about specific ring elements, and worked within our financial budget. Highly recommended to book an appointment with her. Professional and charismatic! read more

Brilliant Earth does not care about its customers. They just want your money, customer service be damned. We spent thousands of dollars on a ring that I got in Feb. It's now May and I've worn my ring maybe two weeks. Communication is terrible and frustrating, and they don't apologize. I went for a ring resizing. The employee didn't really do anything. I felt like it was left up to me to figure out if the size was correct. I wanted to keep the cutout from the ring, which is recommended in case you need to size up in the future. Any reputable jeweler will accommodate this. Their social media person said to call or use the chat feature. Why have Twitter if you can't answer a question? I used the chat feature and that person didn't know the answer. I ended up calling the corporate number and emailing someone from the local store; they both said it was not possible to get the cutout (which was already paid for). I tried to follow up on the status and return date. The person on the phone gave me a date that was later by a week than what I was told. You need to make an appointment for this, too. You can't just stop by the store. I finally got my ring back, but upon closer examination, I noticed that you could tell where they cut the ring because the width in the middle was thinner. I went to a local jeweler who said that you shouldn't be able to see where the cut was made, especially if it was just resized a half size down. The ring also apparently is not the same width around at the top, unrelated to the resizing. Why would BE send back shoddy workmanship? Is there no quality assurance process, or do they just not care? We reached out to Brilliant Earth to ask about this and sent photos. The person said to send it in. She did not say how, and she did not work in the middle of the work week, so add in additional time to wait for an answer in addition to her not answering promptly. It seems like work just doesn't get done in the time that the employee is off. Finally she sent a FedEx label at the end of the day, so the earliest we could send the ring was the next day. BE said they would recast the ring and quoted two weeks time. It's been over two weeks. They then said it would be ready Wed. (three weeks). Now they are saying NEXT Wed. (four weeks). Lastly, the advice an employee gave me on wearing the ring seems incorrect compared to what I've read from other jewelers. She said to wear the ring sleeping and in the shower. I just want to be done with this company. read more

I had an appointment with Julie to look at ring settings and diamonds with my girlfriend. We found the perfect setting and figured out what type of diamond my girlfriend liked. Julie took fantastic care of us, making us feel welcome, comfortable, and excited during our appointment. She made sure I had all of the details I needed from the appointment and followed up promptly with links to the setting and perfect diamond options. The custom ring arrived quickly and my fiancé LOVES it! We had done a bit of ring shopping before with mixed experiences in attentiveness, showroom staff, and ring choices. We were a little intimidated going into Brilliant Earth, but they were prepared with all our preferences and helped my fiancé figure out what she wasn't sure about. We found the perfect ring -- something classic, but with a special touch -- and had a great experience with the help and support we needed without a sales pitch. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend making an appointment with Brilliant Earth! read more

Had my engagement ring for 28 days and one of the side diamonds fell out and the band was cracked. Literally didn't do anything to it. Only gave 2 stars because they accepted the return and gave us a full refund. Luckily it was before the 30 days. We went somewhere else read more

My future husband and I both work in finance, so we spent significant time researching and pricing my custom engagement ring, and Brilliant Earth not only walked me through the process step-by-step, they made my dreams come true!! I explained the ring I wanted to the design team, and it couldn't be any more beautiful. The communication, product quality, and pricing are the epitome of what any couple is looking for when making a purchase of this size. FYI: it takes some time--6-8 weeks from start to finish--but my final product is worth every second (and every penny). Can't wait to design our wedding bands!! read more

My boyfriend and I recently spent a week in Washington, D.C. for our third anniversary. We've previously discussed engagement rings and the ring I've been in love with for almost a year now is the rose gold Nouveau Diamond at Brilliant Earth. After realizing that D.C. has a Brilliant Earth showroom, I knew we had to visit! Traffic was not our friend during this week. Our appointment was at 6pm, I called beforehand and said we were running late and that our GSP said we would be there at 6:10pm. We kept getting turned around and the estimated arrival kept getting pushed back. We had left the Holocaust museum around 5pm and didn't get to Brilliant Earth until almost 7pm. Brilliant Earth called me around 6:30pm when we were just six minutes away and I opted to cancel. Nevertheless, my boyfriend was determined to get us to the appointment. We made it there around 6:40pm. I am so thankful that they still allowed us in and to view the ring we've been looking into, especially since they close at 7pm. Our consultant, Mika, went over the C's and what would be best when we finally decide to purchase. I look forward to receiving my engagement ring from Brilliant Earth in the future. I appreciate their mission, the quality of the selection, and the staff that is so accommodating! read more

We made a call on Wednesday morning to see if any appointments were available and at that moment they didn't have any for the day however we received a call about 30 mins later for a afternoon appointment. When we got there, we completely understood why they do not allow walk in's and the necessity of appointments. We were helped by Molly who was very patient, understanding and overall fun in helping us through the process and explaining everything to us. We really wanted to check out Brilliant Earth because of the lab sourced diamonds and the ethical standards they withhold. We were not disappointed at all. What I loved was the detail in explaining the diamonds & our little test to see if we could tell natural vs lab source apart. (I couldn't). We have since ordered my diamond which we received and it came in the cutest wooden box! So, excited to get my ring together. They offer a military discount of $150 off if you buy the engagement ring & wedding band together FYI. read more

My fiance' purchased my engagement ring from Brilliant Earth. Ten days later, I put the ring on in the morning and drove to my hairdresser. When I excitedly showed her my ring, the morganite (primary stone) had fallen out. Brilliant Earth took no responsibility for the workmanship and made us pay for the replacement stone. I had been previously married and wore that engagement ring for 14 years without ANY defections needing to be repaired. read more

I do recommend Brilliant Earth. The whole process of having my engagement and wedding ring went fabulous. I fixed an appointment online. They contacted me a few days before the appointment to check my preferences. Today, at 5:00 PM, I went with my fiancé to the Georgetown Store. Tasha, the jewelry specialist, welcomed me. She patiently discussed all the details with me. She offered many designs close enough to my preferences. She helped me figure out what worked out for me. I was overwhelmed and unsure of which design I should settle down on. Tasha helped me navigate my choices until I happily decided on my dream ring. Logan, the store manager, stepped in and facilitated the billing process. He made sure I was comfortable with what I decided upon. He also made sure I had all my questions answered. Both Logan and Tasha made this moment a very special one. I walked out, happy and confident I could get the best ring I had ever dreamed of. Brilliant Earth is where professionalism, quality, and respect come together. read more

I am extremely disappointed in this company, customer service, support and overall quality. I have had my engagement ring for a little over a year now "the Aimee Diamond ring " to be exact and it literally broke in half. And now it's been just weeks of back and forth with the company about the metal and it has just been the most frustrating and painful and hurtful experience. It is just crazy to not stand behind your own product and to refuse accountability for your product. So disappointing, and for it to split in half while i was wearing it was extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing. read more

Call to ask info about coming in to purchase diamond earring, not welcoming phone call, Its hard for 9-5pm work day ppl to find appointments. The person who answer the call not wanting to ask or offer when I would like to come in, I have told her I look online and today appointment are booked, she said then we don't have appointment for you. Nevermind I ll look for diamond somewhere else!! read more

My experience with Nicole at BE was absolutely perfect. She greeted us with a friendly and welcoming demeanor and by the end of the appointment I wanted to invite her to my wedding (only half kidding) During my appointment I learned so much about what to loo for in a diamond, what my preferences are for cut and color (something that is hard to do online) and got to try on many rings to compare shapes and sizes. There was absolutely zero pressure to go outside of price point or style preference, and I felt like the entire experience left me more confident in my ring choice. I couldn't be happier with the experience at BE read more

We had a wonderful time at the showroom. We were able to look at the rings we wanted and everything. But they measured us incorrectly at the showroom. I even have an email with them listing the rings we wanted with the incorrect sizes. The rings arrived and they did not fit either of us (my fiancé and I). The first representative said we could exchange them both since we ordered the sizes based by a directive from one of their representatives. Then I got an email saying they could only do a resize. They don't allow any exchanges for same styles, only different styles (not listed anywhere on their website/policies). We didn't want any additional wear-and-tear on the rings before we even use them since the measuring wasn't our fault. The second representative said they could only do a resize despite their website saying an exchange could be performed for any reason (2nd sentence on their FAQ for returns and resizes. I called again and spoke to a third representative. She said she would have to talk to a manager since she couldn't figure it out. Her manager called me (the fourth representative now) and said they could only do a resize because it had to do "with their mission statement". I said to just change the resize into a return so we wouldn't have to deal with this anymore. She also said I could use the shipping label we got for the resize to return. Called a fifth representative to verify the return since it's been such a problem. Turns out they did NOT change my order to a return, it was still listed as a resize. She tried to convince me to do a resize instead despite me lining out all the ways the mistakes were by their own representatives. She ended the call warning me that because of my return, any further orders I put in would be INELIGIBLE for any exchanges in the future. The rings looked beautiful and the representatives in the showroom were wonderful, but the customer service refuses to do anything to take responsibility for the mistakes they made. read more

Wouldn't recommend! They completely ruined the experience of picking out an engagement ring for my partner and I. I live about 1 hour from this location. I work at a very busy clinic as a surgery nurse / vet tech for small animals so when I'm off I typically have a million other things and school that need to be done. I've been coming in every few weeks since September now and never seem to get anywhere. After the first appointment with Anaka it was really hard to get in touch with her and I actually had to just schedule an appointment online. I did put in full detail what I wanted to look at when booking but obviously no one read that though I booked it out 1-2 weeks in advance and I once again showed up to see diamonds I requested but they weren't pulled and she said she didn't have her notes after telling us on the first appointment not to take our own bc that was her job. 3rd time in I was hesitant but my partner has had her eye on this place for awhile so I was trying to be a sport and come in as many times as it took. I arrived and again none of the diamonds pulled were what we discussed but I wasn't with her this time but with kyler who was really pleasant and helpful when I showed him my inspiration pic. He did actually send his appointment notes to me as promised! I did schedule another appointment with him and requested diamonds with inclusions and light/blue hues. On my 4th appointment in it was re directed back to Anaka. I confirmed this appointment as I have all of them the week of. Got another confirmation 1 hour prior from Anaka. She then calls me 30 min out from the appointment tho I was driving so it went to voicemail to inform me that the diamonds never arrived. Since I had brought my partner with me this time to see the difference of what we'd looked at as options online I was a little embarrassed for also wasting her time. We looked at what Anaka did have available to see which one did have inclusions just not enough for my taste. All of this I can excuse but what I cannot believe or put up with any longer is the lack of communication when there is an issue or a wait with diamonds being sent or really any willingness to help at all with what is supposed to be a customized experience! Every time I come in it seems as tho I am annoying her with my request to see diamonds in person or she just doesn't have a clue as to what I want to look at though Its been discussed repeatedly and should be in her notes that she never has available. It has been 9 days since my last appointment I was told 5 days would be the max for diamonds to arrive. I reached out to Anaka 5days after the appointment when the diamonds should've arrived after not arriving the last time! I am 9days out from appointment 2 emails sent to Anaka herself and 1 to customer support and still no response back! I've really held back on thinking this but with the way it's going I'm pretty sure this is a case of HOMOPHOBIA which is really not cool especially with how cool I have been with all the fuck ups that have occurred during this process! So I will not be returning and instead will be giving Midwinter Co. a shot! read more

I had a great time visiting Brilliant Earth showroom in Georgetown in early February. Although the building looks posh from outside, you won't feel intimidated at all when you are inside. All the workers were so friendly and they were all up to the job. The showroom is pretty big and they have around 6 tables inside that can individually accommodate customers in a socially distanced manner. To start off, Olivia gave a short educational session on the diamond 4Cs which was very helpful because it was my first visit to a diamond store. I also figured from my visit that anything bigger than 0.75 ca looks way too bulky for my ring finger. Olivia was sweet and gave an honest opinion. I was happy to go outside my price range for a Brilliant Earth ring because of the exceptional service. Brilliant Earth also has so many really pretty settings on the website, so I would definitely suggest you to do your research right before visiting the store. For whatever reasons, I did not see that they have a 3 stones setting (Selene) so I came to see the Waverley setting in mind. Because appointments are very limited here so I had to wait around 2 weeks for a rebook (in store or virtual appt). While waiting, I decided to go to another store across the street that happens to have the setting I want. At this point, I only care about the setting and wouldn't worry too much about other things (where the diamonds are from, traceability, etc) since ring shopping takes a lot of time of my schedule so I just want to be done with it. If I had more time, I would certainly get my ring from Brilliant Earth. I would recommend this location for any soon to be bride or anyone who is looking to upgrade their rings! read more

Brilliant Earth - Cute details - Jewelry Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Most abysmal customer service I've ever received. My order so far has been delayed 4 times, and when asked about compensation their answer was "that is not in our policy due to our commitments to sustainability and giving back". What is that even supposed to mean? I have been lied to by multiple representatives to my face about timeline and status of my order. No mention of any resolution as of yet. You are treated like a wallet and nothing more. They had the audacity to offer "borrowing a ring" as some sort of consolation prize. My girlfriend would love that, putting a ring on her finger and taking it back later to deal with a companies ineptitude. read more

This review is about Brilliant Earth overall, not necessarily the DC location. I LOVE everything the company stands for and the rings I have from them are gorgeous. I love my engagement ring especially as it is dainty but still impressive looking. 1 Star because both my engagement and wedding ring lost stones within a week of wear. My engagement ring has lost stones 3 times in the last year and a half. It takes about a month to get replaced so I did not have my engagement ring at my bachelorette party, wedding shower, or my first Christmas engagement. I did not have my wedding ring my first thanksgiving AND Christmas married. I was supposed to have it by my honeymoon, but didn't. Customer service has been fine and accommodating. The people on the phone are always super nice. But this last time picking up my wedding ring from being fixed was so annoying-- after a month, I made my pick up appointment. As I am walking in they call me to say my ring isn't there yet. So I didn't have my ring for my honeymoon. I sent an email to the head of customer relations, who helped me before, but only after I left a comment about my broken rings on their Instagram. She did not answer this time. If we could do it again, we would find somewhere else to go. Or I'd get a more plain ring. Either way I'd be sad. I just wish their products had durability and wouldn't break every could months. Especially considering how expensive these pieces of jewelry are. read more

Thanks to Brilliant Earth and to the team at the Georgetown showroom, I was able to find the perfect ring for my now fiancée. From the beginning I was impressed by their efforts to make sure all of their jewelry is created from ethical sources and with the environment in mind. I was also impressed and grateful for their responsiveness and attentiveness online as I asked questions and requested information. However, going to the showroom in Georgetown, DC took my impression of them to the next level, exceeding all of my expectations. I had the pleasure of meeting with Hattie Coin, who was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and patient with me from start to finish. They were also very flexible with my schedule, accommodating me even after traffic got in the way of arriving at the initially-scheduled time. As we went over what I was looking for, from the diamond to the design and the financial aspect, I never felt pressured or swayed one way or another. I truly appreciated her approach and guidance through the process, and the way in which her and her team, not only in Georgetown but back in San Francisco, worked and communicated to ensure that the ring arrived just in time for the big day. When the ring finally arrived, it was securely packaged, and I couldn't wait to open the box once I got it. I got goosebumps seeing the diamond I had chosen in Georgetown come together with the chosen setting. As for my fiancée, she LOVES her ring and every aspect of it. So, to say I recommend Brilliant Earth and their showroom in Georgetown is an understatement. Thank you once again! read more

I purchased my fiancé's engagement ring here and the experience couldn't have been better! I made an appointment online and visited the showroom where I met with Rachel. Rachel walked me through different diamonds, rings and bands to get a feel for what I liked, and talked to me about the 4Cs. Ordering the ring was easy, we sat and picked out a diamond, chose a setting and that was it! I was even able to get the ring expedited 3 days earlier than the original shipping date. The customer service was great prior to getting the ring. Once I got it looked better than I could have imagined! I think my fiancé thinks so as well read more

Would not recommend buying your ring from Brilliant Earth. My wedding band has been in for repairs with them longer than I have been able to wear it for stones that fallen out more than once. It is ridiculous for how much it costs, this should NOT happen. read more

We had been ring shopping throughout the year at many different jewelers. All the other jewelers were pushy old men, none of who listened to me or what I wanted. They all told me they knew what was best for me. One rep even tried to tell me they didn't make rings in quarter sizes ("You're either a 6.5 or a 7. You need a 7") ((I've been a 6.75 my whole adult life for many family rings I've had resized but sure I was due for a good mansplation)) Coming to Brilliant Earth was totally different. Getting there was an adorable store in Georgetown. It was the first time we had worked with a woman during this process and it was amazing. My partner had me fill out my preferences online ahead of time. They used this information I provided to *thoroughly* prepare for my appointment. When we met with our rep at Brilliant Earth, Jen, she had everything I had mentioned on my online preferences form. Everything. All she really did was basic listening skills it felt so validating. I was so happy I could have hugged her. All the other jewelers we had met with elsewhere either wanted to talk to my boyfriend or *at* us. It was the first time I felt like I had any say in the process which was amazing. On top of that, they took so much pride in their company and cause. They truly see the damage that the industry has done to communities around the world and are trying to actively change that. It was just a company we wanted to support. The believe in every product and stone they sell. One other jewelry was having us look at some loose stones and tried to scare us into buying a high end stone using a planted, terrible quality diamond. It was all games. Not Brilliant Earth. They are really honest and try to accommodate getting you what you want at a reasonable price. Big thanks Brilliant Earth for making this a truly wonderful experience. Love yall 10/10 :) read more

Brilliant Earth was a fantastic experience all around. My future fiance and I booked an appointment with them to try on rings that we had previously selected as interests. Our appointment allowed us all the time we needed to look at the rings and diamonds within our range. They offered us many options for both to choose from. Ordering the engagement ring itself was a breeze. Because of the COVID-19 lockdown, I was initially worried the ring wouldn't get to me in time. However, the manager who helped with the appointment and ordering continued to have thorough, clear communication with me. She gave me multiple options to have the ring shipped to me or sent to a pickup location. Every time I reached out to her I got a reply that same day. Because Hannah was so honest and helpful, I barely worried about getting the ring I plan to propose with. And now that I have it, I know I made the right decision with Brilliant Earth. The ring itself is beautiful. It is exactly what I envisioned, and it even came in environmentally conscious packaging. I plan to recommend them to all my friends who one day decide to pop the question. read more

The way Brilliant Earth delieverd our engagement ring, was one of the worst experiences of my life. Instead of the personal experience & joy of trying on the ring, in a relaxed privately seated area, they delivered it at the cash register, while seated patrons stared at us & made us feel as if we were picking up a ring at a 7-11. Their cashier delieverd our engagement ring ! How could Brillant Earth consider this an Romanic moment ? It was like buying a ring from a Food Truck. We will continue to share this experience with our acquaintances & social media. Because it appears Brilliant Earth is only interested in Point Of Sales experiences. read more

My fiancé and I got my engagement ring from here and it is so beautiful! We had an amazing experience at Brilliant Earth. I came for the first time with 2 girl friends of mine and Hattie was so patient to not only show me all the rings but also answer and show rings to my friends. The second time I came with my SO (and a friend) and she once again was patient to help me make up my mind, showing me more settings and going through all the diamond options online. I finally settled on a beautiful lab-created diamond (SO and I are scientist so it's very fitting!) in a Waverly setting. The whole experience from making the appointment to receiving the actual ring was great! Highly recommend it!!! read more

BLUF: DO NOT GO HERE. THE STAFF IS TERRIBLE. First, let me say that when we came here to buy my engagement ring almost 2 years ago, we had the most amazing experience and I LOVE my ring. However, when we came back to buy our wedding bands, we had a HORRIBLE experience with the new staff at the DC location. I went from recommending this showroom to everyone that I knew to actively warning people to not come here. In summary, this showroom 1) failed to inform us of certain limitations to ring sizes, 2) made a suggestion to order a ring that couldn't be resized to "try out" even though it would be outside of the exchange window (we confirmed we could exchange it) and then gave us a hard time when it didn't fit and we tried to exchange it, 3) ORDERED A NEW RING AND CHARGED ME FOR IT WITHOUT EVER ASKING/CONFIRMING, 4) failed to ever return any of my phone calls (I still haven't heard from them months later), 5) claimed that I never returned a ring that I LEFT AT THE SHOWROOM WITH THEM, and 6) refunded the WRONG CREDIT CARD. This process started in February and wasn't resolved until AUGUST. I can't tell you how many times I left messages and pleaded with customer service to have someone from that showroom call me back. The one time someone did call me back, they called at closing and said they couldn't talk and would call me tomorrow - never heard back. I spent hours and hours trying to get this resolved. I eventually called the Bethesda location and it wasn't until I got ahold of their manager (who actually returned my phone calls) that I was able to get this resolved. I can't even explain how helpless it feels to spend thousands on a purchase and to have nothing to show for it and even worse, to have no one call you back or try to help here. If you are dead set on BE, go to the Bethesda location. But honestly, after my experience, I can't recommend BE with confidence. I am so disappointed because my initial experience was so positive and I love all that BE stands for. read more

I think Brilliant Earth's customer service model could be better. The fact you have to book an appointment in advance leaves no room for spontaneity and flexibility. This model also assumes that all customers want a long, personal experience. In my case, I mixed up my appointment date and was turned away -- even after driving half an hour to get there. It was frustrating because I had already done my research in advance and knew the five rings I wanted to try on so I would have been quick. But they only have one person in the showroom which was also another surprise. I assume I'm not the only bride-to-be who knows exactly what they're looking for and would prefer not to go through a long, sales journey/consultation. As a result, I just canceled my appointment and won't be returning. read more

This company is a complete shit show. They told me my ring resizing would take two weeks and it has been a month and a half and I don't have the ring back yet. I didn't have my ring for my engagement party because of this ridiculousness. I've called four times and every time they say they will look into it and call me back and no one ever does. The number listed on google does not ring to the store directly but instead goes to some national call service. The lady at the call service told me that even she does not have direct contact info for the DC store and instead has to contact them via some chat app that they apparently never respond to. So the national call service is unable to confirm that brilliant earth even still HAS my ring. Not to mention that the only reason my ring had to be resized for the SECOND time was because the store clerk was rushing me through my first resize telling other customers she would be with them in two minutes and basically blowing off my questions regarding sizing. Sigh. I just feel like it's not that hard to meet my basic level of expectations regarding responsiveness and customer service and brilliant earth is failing across the board. Too bad we spent a ton of money already. We were initially going to buy our wedding bands here as welto keep it consistent but I can't imagine giving them more of my money at this point. UPDATE: this company called me shortly after I posted this review and had my ring delivered via private courier the following day. Consequently, I have upgraded my review to two stars. read more

My partner and I scheduled a consultation with very little knowledge of the types of gemstones we preferred for engagement rings since we were looking for non-traditional rings. Allison was warm yet professional and was able to give us a thorough overview of diamonds plus a few other gemstones so that we felt well informed of our options and could narrow down our preferences. We especially liked how inclusive and welcoming she was. As an LGBTQ couple, some "traditional" experiences can quickly feel alienating but Alison was effortlessly clear without relying on stereotypes or gendered terms to describe the variety of ring styles; that attention to detail ensured we felt comfortable the whole time. read more

Very disappointed! After seeing lots of ads and gorgeous engagement rings online my boyfriend and I had planned to make over an hour trip JUST to go visit there Bethesda location. No where on there website does it say u can't walk in and see jewelry like most other jewelry stores. They "recommend" an appointment but maybe should say if u wanna see more than 10 rings u should make an appointment. So once getting there no appointment or accommodation was offered since we were already there, just said we could come back another day With an appointment. Apparently this store isn't for me, I'm not potentially wasting other people's time to just look at jewelry. Long story short I am not going out of my way to go to this store no matter the customizations they offer. read more

Our experience here was amazing! We never felt pressured and we were shown exactly what we wanted. I've had the ring for a few days now and it's absolutely perfect. read more
