COMPASSION
From mine to Main Street, we’re committed to making the world a better place.
Compassion has been core to our Mission since day one. We care about and are committed to our communities: our employees, the cities and neighborhoods where we do business, and the people who help bring our jewelry to life.
VELVET BOX X TEJAS
Our transformative partnership with renowned anthropologist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall and her foundation, the Jane Goodall Institute, unites us in our common vision of preserving and protecting the planet. By joining forces, we aim to inspire action that prioritizes the well-being of people and the planet and creates change within the jewelry industry and beyond.
To honor Jane’s 90th birthday and our shared missions, the Brilliant Earth Foundation has made an inaugural donation to the Jane Goodall Institute.
THE VELVET BOX FOUNDATION
In 2021, we started the Brilliant Earth Foundation* to further the impact we’ve made from the very beginning. Since then, we’ve donated $2 million to our Foundation to improve our communities — from the areas where our diamonds, gems, and precious materials are mined to the communities where our teams and customers live.
*The Brilliant Earth Foundation is a corporate advised fund with Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
TRANSPARENCY
We know where our precious metals and gemstones come from and how our jewelry is made. And we share that information with you.
SUSTAINABILITY
We use recycled and sustainable materials, apply energy-efficient practices, and minimize our carbon footprint. From day one and every day after, we’ve set ambitious goals to protect the planet — and strive to achieve them.
COMPASSION
From mine to Main Street, we strive to make the world a better place. We care about our communities, and demonstrate it by giving through the Brilliant Earth Foundation and volunteering to create impact.
INCLUSION
In our community, you are included, cared for, valued, and supported.
Our designs are crafted with inclusivity in mind, from gender-neutral styles and extended sizing to virtual try-on technology in all skin tones.
HOW WE GIVE
Through the Brilliant Earth Foundation, we focus our giving in three areas: Responsible Sourcing, Social Impact, Climate Action.
RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
SOCIAL IMPACT
CLIMATE ACTION
We’re always looking for ways to protect our planet. It’s global and local: from reforestation, clean energy, mercury-free mining, and recycled precious metals to sustainable practices in our showrooms.
THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS
We partner with impactful non-profits because cultivating collaborations amplifies the difference we can make.
GEM LEGACY
We partner with Gem Legacy, an organization that supports vocational training, entrepreneurship, and community development in East African artisanal gem mining communities. Through this collaboration, we provide a healthy breakfast and lunch every school day to nearly a thousand schoolchildren who might otherwise go hungry, which boosts their attendance and improves test scores.
PACT-MOYO
Our partnership with Pact-Moyo in Kenya helps to create fair trade markets for female gemstone miners and funds a financial literacy program, WORTH, that teaches over 200 people how to build secondary sources of income, benefiting over 1,400 household members.
PURE EARTH
Mining with mercury can contaminate ecosystems and seriously harm the health of miners and their communities, so we work with Pure Earth to train small-scale gold miners to mine without mercury and rehabilitate rainforests. In 2023 alone, they planted 5,418 trees in areas of the Peruvian Amazon that had been devastated by mercury used in mining.
FAIRMINED
We partner with the Alliance for Responsible Mining, who administer the precious metal certification program called Fairmined. This program ensures that gold has been responsibly mined and that the small-scale miners of that gold receive a fair-trade price.
GIVING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITIES
Our employees share our Mission mindset. In 2023, they increased the number of hours they volunteered by 87% from the year before. In 2024, our goal is to continue to strengthen our message of giving back and to increase volunteer hours.
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE GOALS
Our goals push us forward, guiding everything we do. Advancing our Mission is ingrained in our culture and is part of everyone’s responsibility at Brilliant Earth. We are particularly proud of publicly committing to set near-term company-wide emission reductions by 2024 in line with the Science Based Targets initiative.
