Campaign Fortifies Company’s Two Decades of Industry-Defining Diamond Leadership

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. (“Brilliant Earth” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BRLT), an innovative, global leader in ethically sourced fine jewelry, today announced the launch of the “Rethink Everything You Know About Diamonds” campaign, featuring the debut of The Jane Goodall Collection. A continuation of the Company’s partnership with iconic conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall, the collection underscores Brilliant Earth and Dr. Jane Goodall’s collective vision of environmental stewardship. The “Rethink Everything You Know About Diamonds” campaign invites consumers to discover the Company's diamond leadership over a nearly two-decade period, starting with its pioneering standards for ethical sourcing. Over that time, Brilliant Earth has championed groundbreaking innovations in both natural and lab diamonds while remaining steadfast in delivering expert craftsmanship, design, and a seamless, highly personalized customer experience.

Since its founding, Brilliant Earth has challenged the industry to reconsider how diamonds are sourced and how jewelry is made. The “Rethink Everything You Know About Diamonds” campaign amplifies the Company’s industry-defining innovations in both natural and lab diamonds and highlights Brilliant Earth's groundbreaking diamond collections and standards. By championing transparency and responsible practices, Brilliant Earth not only redefines ethical luxury but empowers consumers to make impactful choices that reflect their values and shape a better future. The launch of The Jane Goodall Collection represents a definitive moment for Brilliant Earth, further reinforcing the Company’s planet-first ethos and commitments.

“Brilliant Earth was founded almost 20 years ago with the aim of paving the way for ethical and sustainable jewelry. Since then, we've challenged many to look at the choices they make, exemplified by our ‘Rethink Everything You Know About Diamonds’ campaign, which invites consumers to transform their perceptions about diamonds and recognize the profound impact their choices can have on both communities and the environment,” said Brilliant Earth Co-Founder and CEO Beth Gerstein. “Partnering with Dr. Jane Goodall to launch The Jane Goodall Collection as part of ‘Rethink’ was a natural fit. Her lifelong work in conservation and her continued dedication through The Jane Goodall Institute are just some of the examples of how she is inspiring future generations to get involved in protecting our planet.”

The Jane Goodall Collection is crafted with Brilliant Earth’s industry-leading, ethically and sustainably sourced materials. The limited-edition collection features Brilliant Earth’s Capture Collection diamonds, which are made in clean energy facilities with CO₂ before it is released into the atmosphere. Each piece is made with certified recycled gold sourced from responsible refiners.

“Brilliant Earth and I are united in our mission to better the planet for future generations, and I deeply admire their steadfast commitment to ethical and sustainable practices,” said Dr. Jane Goodall. “The Jane Goodall Collection pays homage to my beloved Tanzania, serving as a poignant reminder to consumers that their conscious choices in daily life can catalyze meaningful change. We all play a role and have an impact on our collective future.”

Inspired by Tanzania, the collection’s motif is centered on banana leaves, cherished for their natural beauty and role as a crucial part of daily life for communities around the globe. Ten percent of The Jane Goodall Collection proceeds will benefit the Jane Goodall Institute*, funding crucial work to protect and restore critical habitats, support the health and education of women and girls, cultivate local livelihoods, and mobilize the next generation of environmental leaders.

The Jane Goodall Collection is available now on BrilliantEarth.com and in Brilliant Earth’s 40 showrooms nationwide.
