| Mixed | – | Engagement ring has held up okay for about a year, but reviews scared her off buying the matching wedding band there, and she expects to eventually redo the setting locally. |

| Mixed | – | Engagement ring since Dec 2023, wedding ring worn over a year; a tiny diamond popped out once but BE replaced it with no further issues. |
| Mixed | – | 4 years owned; both side stones came loose early on back to back, but BE repaired and polished it well and she's had zero issues since. |

| Warns | – | Engagement ring's entire setting snapped off within 5 years of normal wear; Brilliant Earth denied the lifetime warranty and blamed her, while a local jeweler found the gold too thin and the prong support undersized. |
| Warns | $13,000 | $13k ring arrived 2 months late; pave diamonds fell out of the band twice after purchase; condescending repair staff; only refunded a $400 setting-price difference |
| Warns | – | The asker's ring arrived about a half size too big; after reading about others' bad experiences decided to return both rings and have a local jeweler remake them instead. |

| Warns | – | Strongly warned against buying from this vendor, calling them trash |
| Warns | – | The person asking visited in person and had a terrible experience, decided to stick with the local jeweler instead. |

| Warns | – | Ordered online for her husband to have made in-store as a 50th-birthday upgrade; the wrong ring size arrived, and it took threatening a chargeback and public complaints, plus months of delay, to get a corrected ring. |
| Warns | – | Center stone went loose within a month; two repair attempts failed; refused a refund and allegedly misrepresented facts to defeat a credit-card chargeback |
| Warns | – | Ring broke on its own; a local jeweler confirmed inherent manufacturing defects and is remaking the design from scratch with an upgraded stone |
| Warns | – | Main stone snapped off in her hand during an engagement photoshoot; after earlier poor handling of a separate issue and rude treatment of her fiance at purchase, she had a different jeweler remake the design instead of returning to Brilliant Earth. |

Is brilliant earth a good place to buy a lab diamond
Opinions lean negative: one buyer says to avoid it entirely for shoddy workmanship and overpriced lab diamonds, while another only used it to gauge a starting price rather than to actually buy there. One buyer vouched for Brilliant Earth's ethics and sustainability claims, but a working jeweler warned that repair customers have brought in Brilliant Earth rings with lifted prongs and poor setting work, and recommended a local independent jeweler instead.
Is Brilliant Earth a reliable place to buy an engagement ring?

Many buyers said yes, pointing to complaints about Brilliant Earth pricing and recommending comparison shopping with vendors like Calavera, Rare Carat and overseas cutters.

One gemologist buyer advises against it, saying its return policy is weak for such a large purchase, while suggesting Blue Nile or James Allen as alternatives.

Are negative online reviews of a big jewelry company like Brilliant Earth representative of most buyers' experience?
Many long-time owners (2 to 9+ years) said they've had zero issues and argued unhappy customers are simply far more likely to post online than satisfied ones, though several other buyers did describe real repeated problems like stones falling out.
Are online lab diamond retailers like Blue Nile, Brilliant Earth and Grown Brilliance overpriced?
Buyers said yes, arguing big retailers try to earn the same margin on lab diamonds as on natural ones; quotes on this discussion for the same 3ct E-VVS2 specs ranged from about $1,600 to $7,400.
Are online vendor ring settings from companies like Brilliant Earth, Blue Nile, and James Allen durable?
Buyers describe these companies' cast, assembled settings (prongs soldered onto a separate band) as prone to failure, with several buyers reporting a stone and its whole head falling off within about a year.

A ring counts for Brilliant Earth 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.
