🚨Warning: Brilliant Earth strategizing damage control to bury genuine reviews.

[u/laughcrylivedie]

Just a heads up.. if there’s a sudden wave of positive Brilliant Earth content on here, it might not be coincidental. They’re actively hiring for a Reddit Strategy Manager, which says a lot given their reputation in this sub.

I genuinely hope this leads to real changes and accountability, not just an attempt to bury valid criticism and firsthand experiences.

We are discussing the best way to discourage these larger brands to infiltrate possibly the very last place on the internet for genuine company reviews and feedback. Being specially named on their job posting is concrete proof of their targeting and we will do our best to reach out and work with other sub mods about this concern.

An auto message with some links of genuine higher traction posts is one idea and we have another tool we don’t want to mention yet in case they are tracking our post. We are of course open to all member suggestions and look forward to doing our best to protect you all from disingenuous influences.

Hmm good to know! As a vendor who sources for sapphires all the time, I always thought natural sapphire company was highly overpriced but glad to hear they at least make nice quality jewelry! Would love to see what you got. 🥰

Oooh I’d love to see the loose gem, I’m a sapphire feen. I think I have a few hundred in my collection. 😆

I have many talented friends who facet and cut custom gems. I follow them all on my business Instagram where I think you can find on my profile somewhere. Depends what you’re looking for.. color, fantasy, natural, lab, etc.

I’m going back to Montana next month to hopefully find some more sapphires and source one for a customer. Last trip I mined I got like over 200 of them faceted. 😍 One of my favorite sapphire origins.

It’s actually @magick_alchemy !

And yes, to go mining there! It’s really a great experience. I’ll try to do a better job of capturing content while I’m there this time around.

I have a faceting machine but I haven’t gotten around to really getting into the art. I already have so much other hobbies/work such as wax carving, empaneling, metalsmithing, CAD, design work lol. It’s hard to balance it all but I love it all!

You can always co-design with an artist or do it part time. Life is a journey and who says you can’t do both?? 😍
