“Don't shop here”

The fine print is a huge reason to avoid this place. The rules for return are strategically designed so that if anything goes wrong you will not be able to return within the refund time limit and you will not be getting your money back. The time period actually starts from the date of the order not when you actually receive and see the diamond. They also refuse to help you shop for alternatives if you try to prepare for the narrow time frame of exchange. If you're comfortable risking your ring budget then it's no big deal. But if you are like me and it is an investment then avoid this fine print trap.

I love the diamond engagement ring my fiancee ordered from brilliance.com! The diamond is beautiful and the customer service was great. Anthony and John went out of their way to make sure I was getting the best quality diamond and even rushed my order to have it by Valentine's Day. I would recommend brilliance.com to anyone!

Absolutely gorgeous selection and very reasonable pricing are Two amongst many many positive traits these guys and gals possess. 24 hour chat ability along with a phone number to get in contact will never leave you wondering a status or just an inquiry for information. Help is always at bay. Natasha Drabik made my experience and journey with it all not only pleasant but fun and exciting. Make it happen men, your other half deserves it! Or vise versa

I ordered my fiancee's engagement ring from Brilliance, and first I would like to say the customer service was amazing! They kept me up to date with the order, and production. The quality of the Diamond was breath taking! Her Doctor friends were all impressed with the Marquise cut diamond that I got her., which was a rare cut diamond! Brilliance had a great selection of diamonds, and they offer customized settings to fit the diamond, which i used with the Marquise. I'm very happy!

The fiancé loved the ring! What more can I say?
The customer service was fantastic. Every person I spoke to over the phone was helpful and easy to talk to. The number one reason I chose Brilliance for my ring was not just price or style, but because the people were so willing to help and excited to help.
I have nothing but positive things to say about Brilliance! They are a phenomenal company to purchase from and you will not be disappointed!

I found Brilliance by simply googling it! I was skeptical at first, but I quickly saw the great value and how large of selection there was and I was sucked in. I was on a very very tight schedule (10 days) and I was able to chat with Brilliance and they helped me find the perfect diamond with the best shine that would be finished and ready for the special day.

I would recommend Brilliance to anyone & I have already pushed several of my friend towards them.

Thank you so much for working with my fiance to make such a beautiful ring. I love it so much! I love all of the detail on the band and how you created the texture making it look so interesting and intricate. My fiancé told me that he actually wanted to have diamonds on the band, but that the designer talked him out of it - we are both so happy with that decision! Great to have a designers eye :) I'm also very happy with the height, I know My fiancé didn't want it to sit too high knowing me and my preferences and it sits just perfectly. I know Nick was going for modern estate and you really nailed it! We'll be reaching out on the wedding band and I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Thank you!
Toni

Jon, Jonathan, and Danica were all so helpful. They are Honest and straight forward. The price was very resonable and quality of the diamond was exceptional. I also decided to get the ring made with them. They made a perfect engagement ring and we actually wanted it to be a little thinner. They altered the ring for us without a question. They will be recommended to friends and family for any diamond jewelry.

My fiancé got me a ring that I designed and it couldn't be any more perfect! There are a ton of diamonds in all price ranges to choose from. With Brilliance it is easy to get a beautiful ring without spending thousands at other jewelry stores.

I purchased both my engagement ring and wedding band from Brilliance. They were very helpful in educating me on diamonds and certification, and found quite a bit of options. I was please with the first experience.
For the wedding band... READ THE FINE PRINT for returns. It's a 30 day money back guarantee from the day you ORDER the band, not from when it was received. It took 18 days of my 30 day period to even receive the ring to realize it's too small. I'm VERY lucky I called when I did, else I could have been SOL. I'm actually writing this review so that they will honor the coupon code from my order I am returning. Whamp wah. I suppose they would rather have people read about my so-so experience rather than just crediting the 50 bucks. Oh well. Great prices/selection regardless!

My fiance LOVES her ring and that's all that matters. I was disappointed that the customer service people do not seem to be properly versed in the lifetime warranty, its limits, exclusions, etc. I had to change my setting after ordering because of this, causing a significant unexpected additional expense. Also, I was VERY surprised that there was ZERO follow up to see if I was happy with the purchase. All I keep getting are endless e-mails flooding my mailbox with offers, but not satisfaction survey.

John was my rep, and he was very patient and helpful while I was still in my anxious planning stage. But he never pressured me, and checked in periodically like a good friend, rather than a salesperson. The ring turned out beautiful, and the experience was very pleasant. Go here first.

We purchased a 2+ carat ring to celebrate our 40 wedding anniversary. With the investment we had the ring appraised and insured. The appraisal value was actually higher than the amount we paid for the ring. I would highly recommend Brilliance to anyone wanting to purchase a beautiful, high quality ring.

From the beginning of my engagement ring process, I received the most attentive, professional, and consistent service from Jennifer at Brilliance. Upon receipt of my order, I was very happy with the customized ring. I had to get it resized which was a very simple process. Danielle, Customer Service Hero, also helped me with that process. I highly recommend Brilliance as the best option for your fine jewelry needs. I'm very happy and impressed with my ring and I'm sure my partner will be impressed and say "Yes!"

Working with Brilliance.com was such a wonderful experience! Shopping from local jewelers is such a rip off. Brilliance will give you the best at an unbeatable price. I love my engagement ring and I get tons of compliments on it daily! I wouldn't shop anywhere else if I had to do it over again and I recommmend them to everyone!

Happy with the quality of the ring and the work done to it, looks amazing with the 1.25ct centerstone. Had some spotty communication from them at certain points and was nervous about the ring arriving on time (I did a rush order) but ultimately they made it happen and I was happy with the purchase!

Since the first day, Anthony C. Was very attentive and always answered my emails within the same day. We went through several iterations for the "ideal ring" and had the ring in my hands ahead of time. I was very pleased with my order.

From the first time I called inquiring about a diamond (almost 9 months ago) through shipping the finished engagement ring to me Brilliance was nothing short of EXCELLENT.

Their Diamond Experts are extremely knowledgeable about diamonds and guided me through picking a diamond that was under my budget but exceeded my size expectations. However what will make me a customer for life is the way they came through for me on my custom ring.

Once I placed my order I gave them a specific due date I needed everything in hand by. However I messed up on my date! I called back my rep a day after and they expedited my ring delivery and their COO personally met me before my planned proposal cruise. I don't think any other online retailer would go out of their way or deliver a ring by hand!

Brilliance has earned my business for life and I'll be sending my friends and family as well. THANK YOU

Tip for consumers:
Speak with one of their Diamond Experts... They helped me save more and are very helpful

I spent weeks looking for the right diamond and the right price point. I found a AGS certified 1.5 round cut through Brilliance. After looking through the reviews I felt comfortable with dealing with them, I did a bank wire on the purchase, expecting an automated email with instructions, instead received first contact from Anthony, and during our email exchange he put a rush on my order. Ring showed up within the expected time frame, but the ring was far from what I expected. It was breathtaking, perfect for re-proposing with my wife. The stones in the setting were bright and well set, and the diamond was better than I expected! I used to only buy GIS certified diamonds, I was very pleased with this AGS, and with the quality product they provided! Well done Brilliance, I will do business in the future.

I searched on all the Web sites as well as local jewelry stores and this was the best price for the GIA diamond I was looking for. Would have given five stars however I put down a deposit on a diamond and when I went to buy it a few days later they had sold it to someone else in spite of my deposit. They would not discount me on a slightly larger diamond of the same quality that I found in their inventory to replace the one I had put the deposit on. Very good timely service otherwise.

I worked with Anthony from Brilliance to help me with my order. I had to make a rush order for many reasons. Anthony understood my urgency and helped me get my order in time. They have a great collection and the work is top notch as well. I will definitely recommend brilliance to others. Thank you Team Brilliance!

I had been to several jewelry stores looking for the right diamond with the right price, but with no luck. Until I found Brillance.com where I was able to comfortably look at their inventory from the comfort of my own home and find a beautiful diamond that was within my price range. When I had questions about my order, the customer service department was quick to reply as well as answer all of my questions.

These professionals have outstanding knowledge in their profession. They were able to assist me throughout my entire process. They were able to answer all of my questions and concerns. If it were not for them I would not have the beautiful ring I have today.

I ordered an engagement ring and later the matching band. Maegan was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I even had to get the ring resized and sent back which she checked on weekly for me. Great customer service. Would highly recommend.
