Additions
I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Brilliant Earth, I propose the following additions to this article. NinaSpezz (talk) 18:46, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Amending my request to question the verifiability of class action suit sentence in controversy section in addition to the link to the class action suit website in external links. NinaSpezz (talk) 15:11, 23 August 2017 (UTC)


 * After first paragraph, relocate last sentence of article and expand to say:

Brilliant Earth sells jewelry via its website as well as in showrooms in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, San Diego, and Washington, D.C. The company has received awards and recognition from JCK, The Knot, Boston (magazine), and the Women’s Jewelry Association.


 * Add section title History before "The idea for Brilliant Earth was conceived..."


 * Add after "It also sells "vintage rings" that had previous owners":

as well as lab-grown diamonds.


 * Add after paragraph that begins, "In June 2017, The Next Web reported...":

Brilliant Earth denied the charges and detailed how it sources diamonds, tracks them through a chain of custody protocol, and voluntarily brings in an independent auditor to review and improve upon its practices. The company filed a suit against Worth for defamation. Diamond industry observers expressed doubts about Worth’s claims, in particular that diamonds cannot be tracked, stating, "There is no reason that diamonds can't be tracked. Bananas are tracked. Coffee is tracked. If a manufacturer buys directly from a specific mine, establishing a diamond's origin should be relatively easy. All it has to do is segregate those specific goods and then make its systems open to audit."


 * Add after that a Philanthropy section title before sentence that begins with, "Brilliant Earth donates five percent..."


 * Add to end of article:

For example, the company helps fund a school in the southwestern Democratic Republic of Congo to educate Congolese children to keep them from entering the mining industry and supports a project to teach gold miners in the Peruvian rain forest to mine without toxic mercury.
