re: Wedding Rings: Eco-Friendly Engagement Rings

I completely agree!  I  mentioned to my fiance that I didn't want a 'blood diamond' and he purchased my ring from Brilliant Earth and I love him all the more for it.  In fact, they had fantastic customer service and he highly recommends them to anyone who will listen!  It is great to have a beautiful ring, and that the experience was such a positive one for him.  For anyone still looking for a ring, they are fantastic and you feel better when you know where this life-long piece of jewelry came from!

My engagement ring is from Brilliant Earth, and not only is it the most beautiful, unique ring I've ever seen, it's nice to know that the diamond and gold are (relatively) eco-friendly.
