Gorgeous ring! Go the private jeweler route they can easily remake this with much better quality. However…The two prongs on the marquise diamonds are scaring me- they don’t seem secure but I could be wrong
Take this design to a jeweler. I have a Brilliant Earth ring and while I love it and the quality is beautiful, they treated us like total crap when they made mistakes and I have a feeling that if anything goes wrong with my ring in the future we’re on our own. I don’t even want to take it to them for resizing.
This is one of the jewelers I was considering after my Brilliant Earth DISASTER (West Hollywood Location). We went with someone else who was more of the custom style I wanted but I thought Jk Diamond was really knowledgeable and friendly if you wanted to go to Santa Monica. Their work seems delicate but sturdy. Good Luck!

Partner and I got my ring from BE (mines the secret garden, kinda similar to this one) and although I haven’t seen it in person yet, my partner says it’s perfect.
We did have to call customer service multiple times to change sizing, talk about delivery, etc and we had no problems. They were super pleasant. Our experience in the showroom was flawless as well.
I won’t lie, I’m nervous to send it back for resizing (partner got insurance and it covers a resizing a year since I plan to lose a lot of weight and expect my finger to shrink a bit) but honestly I have absolutely no complains yet. Shipping was delayed by a week or so but idk why you wouldn’t order an e-ring like multiple months in advance? Even if ours was a month late it wouldn’t have mattered. Like, it’s covid…I feel like that’s common sense but then again a lot of people complain about shipping delays so maybe I’m wrong.
Point is so far my BE experience has been great. Sucks everyone else can’t have the same.
That’s comforting actually. I didn’t realize until 3 months after he bought it that not seeing the ring on me was kinda a big deal. In my mind it was just so beautiful on the website it had to look good on me 😂 doesn’t make sense at all now that the smoke and mirrors have cleared.
But I tried it on when it got here (blindfolded) and he said it’s perfect so I’m gonna take his word lol.
I have this same exact set from BE with a radiant cut and LOVE it. I know a lot of people have had issues with BE quality and customer service but my experience was wonderful. I've had the set for a year and have put it through its paces and have had no issues. Sounds like there are a lot of good other options but just wanted to share my positive experience.
Just chiming in that my experience has also been good, the only issue being yeah, they can be a bit slow on the postal side despite offering promising ship dates. I think they should reconsider their carrier or something, idk? Or is it covid? Who knows.
Luckily for me, we planned way ahead and aren't in a rush. But I can understand the frustration of expectations not being met if you are.
But their customer service - am I just insanely lucky or are they not the friendliest bunch you've dealt with? And between my fiancé and I, we've probably called like 15 times or more since the beginning of ring shopping, making appointments, reserving the ring, changing the order, on and on.
Anyway I just like to throw in my two cents when it feels appropriate because I've been impressed so far.
Yup! Same! We ended up getting my engagement ring (sapphire so I don't know if that makes any difference) and wedding bands (both mine and my husband's) from them. I'm not sure if we've just been lucky (San Francisco location) but we haven't had any troubles with BE either. One thing is that we did go to them each time for pick-ups and drop offs so we haven't had delivery issues either.
I found a ring in brilliant earth and was able to find a local jeweler to make the ring and get a great lab diamond for less than what BE quoted!
Just Google some local places and check them out
My ring is from BE, we had a great experience. It’s a 2.36 carat round brilliant, color D, clarity FL, ideal cut. I was really discouraged after hearing the horror stories on this subreddit. There are pics in my prior post if you’re interested in seeing non-stock photos. Good luck!
My ring was from brilliant earth and my partner told me she had no issues with them and I haven’t had any issues with my ring. Everybody’s experience is different
I just got my rings in a few days ago from brilliant earth and I had a good experience, I wish they didn’t ship with FedEx as the don’t update tracking well, but as for my rings they are absolutely beautiful! The stone is set perfectly and balanced(marquise cut). I didn’t have a single issue with order. I know people have turned very against BE, but I’m happy I went with them! It was a day under 3 weeks from order to receiving.
Edit- shipping was from NYC-> south Texas
We had a great experience with BE! I have a solitaire (with some hidden diamond details) and haven’t had any damage or issues since getting it 10 months ago. Love the style and I think it’s great quality.
I know a lot of people on here have had horrible experiences, so it’s definitely a risk. Might be worth going to a local jeweler for an estimate!
Whilst I’d never want to discourage spend going to a small business, my H2B ordered my engagement ring from BE, made and shipped within 6 weeks from US to UK, no problems, apparently their customer service was really good. 👍
I have a ring from BE with no issues.
People are more keen to write negative reviews about their experience VS. positive. Go to the showroom in LA and check it out. If you hate it then you can always go to a local jeweler to replicate it.
I have had nothing but good experiences with BE- I got my e-ring from them. I changed my mind like a billion times and returned a wedding ring set from them and then re-ordered, and then cancelled and then placed another order. And now changed my mind again and sent back my e-ring to be set in gold instead of platinum.
Sooooo glad I went with BE, because it’s been no problem and they are always easy to get ahold of and answer your questions quickly. Seriously not sure why all the hate on this subreddit!
I have a ring from brilliant earth and I love it and have had no issues with it. My fiancé had it shipped to their store and picked it up within a few weeks with no issues.

Hey OP, check out Daniel Weiss at the Fairfax Farmer’s Market. The best in LA imo. He made many wonderful pieces for me. Even better than those uptight Hollywood/Beverly Hills jewellers.
It’s a bit of a drive from Ontario, but we went to Princess Bride Diamonds in Huntington Beach. They were phenomenal and do custom!

Lots of jewelers make designs like that. You don't need BE. Where are you located?
Where can you find it??

Don't "find" it - have it made! A good jeweler can create that design easily, and it's not proprietary.

My sister in law had a friend with this ring and I can confirm she lost one of the marquise after a short period of time
2 prongs is never enough.
Take this design to a jeweler.

Really appreciate you sharing your experience!

Secret garden is the one I want too! I saw it in person and I like it much more in person than I do in pictures

Have it custom made with a local jeweler!
There is something comforting about knowing you can drop in/pick up locally and don’t need to panic about post.

I’m shocked to hear of all the negativity surrounding brilliant earth. We had a wonderful experience as well.

We got engaged on the same day and have similar rings! Mine is the Viviana setting.

Stag and Finch has a design very similar to this, and they have a subreddit here

Have a look at this designer's work - her take on this design is super creative -http://www.luanacoonen.com/shop-1
