Recommends–Diamond and setting bought here are amazing quality
Recommends$300 to $400Bought three rings from Brilliance and loves them all; their classic solitaire setting (2.5mm band) runs about $400 and a nice stone runs $300-350; they price-match the stone but not the setting
Recommends$500 to $600Second semi-mount setting bought from them, around 500-600 each
Recommends–Ordered a 3.02ct round IGI VS1 D wedding bridal set for an anniversary, drawn by good reviews and a lifetime warranty; felt the price was fair though hadn't received it yet

Mixed–Same retired-jeweler buyer calls it the best price she has found for lab diamonds, but advises against buying the setting there and shipping the stone elsewhere to be mounted
Mixed–Offered a lab coupon that priced the final stone about 35 dollars cheaper than a rival, but buyer had also cancelled an earlier order there
Mixed–Diamond shipped in about two weeks but did not match expectations from the video; buyer paid her own return shipping and waited about four weeks for the refund, though phone support was polite
Mixed$1,868Decent super-ideal oval with an on-site video of the actual stone after a 30% discount, but a cheaper comparable stone was found elsewhere
Warns–Ordered the basic solitaire setting; it arrived very thin and had to be sent back
Warns–Labs are outrageously overpriced and rarely the cheapest; hides certificate numbers and pushes for a phone number; some naturals graded generously
Warns–Chose not to buy after being told Brilliance charges a fee for returning more than one item per year
Warns–Bought a pink lab diamond that arrived champagne with peach tones instead of the rosy pink shown online after a 6-week wait; the card was charged immediately, and getting a return authorization and refund took roughly two months of follow-up calls

A ring counts for Brilliance when its buyer named the store; the store's channel (Online jewelers) comes from its name rather than from each buyer's description. Prices are in US dollars and cover the ring as a whole. Verdicts count one line per buyer, and only buyers who bought or priced there themselves.
