Coupons & Promo Types
All the ways to save at Brilliant Earth. Each promo type can often be combined — see the Stacking Tips section.
Lab-Grown Diamond Savings
Brilliant Earth's lab-grown diamonds are chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds but cost 50–80% less. A 1-carat lab-grown round brilliant starts around $500–$1,200 compared to $4,000–$8,000 for a comparable mined stone. Lab-grown savings are structural and permanent — not a promotional event. For buyers open to lab-grown, this is the most significant jewelry savings available anywhere.
OngoingBuild-Your-Own Engagement Ring
Brilliant Earth's build-your-own tool lets buyers select a diamond (mined, lab-grown, or gemstone) and a setting separately, enabling full quality-per-dollar optimization. Choosing a lab-grown diamond in the build-your-own tool unlocks the maximum savings — the same cut, color, and clarity at 50–80% below the mined equivalent, paired with any setting.
OngoingHoliday and Seasonal Promotions
Brilliant Earth runs promotional events on select jewelry, settings, and fashion pieces during holiday gifting seasons (Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, holiday season). These events may include free engraving extensions, complimentary setting upgrades, or percentage-off promotions on select styles. Lab-grown and mined diamond pricing is consistent year-round.
SeasonalBrilliant Earth Sale Section
Brilliant Earth's sale section features discounted setting styles, fashion jewelry, and gemstone pieces at reduced pricing. The sale section is available year-round on brilliantearth.com and represents the best source of promotional discount pricing on non-diamond and setting categories.
OngoingFree Engraving
Brilliant Earth offers complimentary engraving on select engagement rings, wedding bands, and jewelry pieces — adding personalization value at no additional cost. Free engraving is one of the brand's consistent value-adds relative to traditional jewelry retailers.
OngoingTrade-In and Upgrade Program
Brilliant Earth offers a jewelry trade-in and upgrade program — buyers can return a previously purchased Brilliant Earth diamond for credit toward a future purchase. This is particularly valuable for lab-grown diamond buyers who may wish to upgrade to a larger stone as lab-grown pricing continues to evolve.

Stacking Tips
Combine multiple discount types in a single transaction. These are the most effective stacking combinations at Brilliant Earth.
Lab-Grown Diamond + Setting Optimization
The lab-grown diamond savings at Brilliant Earth are so significant that buyers can reallocate the cost difference toward a substantially larger stone or a premium setting. A buyer with a $5,000 engagement ring budget who chooses lab-grown can access a 2-carat Excellent cut diamond that would cost $15,000–$20,000 in mined. This is not a coupon strategy — it is a fundamental quality-per-dollar reframe for the engagement ring purchase.
Build-Your-Own + Threshold Optimization
Lab-grown diamond pricing, like mined, rises sharply at round carat thresholds (0.50, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 carats). A 1.48-carat lab-grown diamond looks visually identical to a 1.5-carat but costs 10–20% less. Brilliant Earth's build-your-own tool makes threshold shopping easy — search just below major carat thresholds for maximum visual size per dollar.
Holiday Promotion + Free Engraving
Brilliant Earth's free engraving on select pieces combined with holiday promotional discounts on settings and fashion jewelry creates the best non-diamond savings scenario. Free engraving typically costs $50–$100 at traditional jewelers — Brilliant Earth includes it on qualifying pieces, adding meaningful value to a purchase during holiday events.
Lab-Grown vs. Mined Comparison
Brilliant Earth makes direct lab-grown vs. mined comparison easy — both are listed with identical grading specifications. For a 1.0-carat G VS1 Excellent cut round brilliant, the mined version typically costs $5,000–$8,000; the lab-grown equivalent is $500–$1,500. This is the clearest apples-to-apples comparison in the jewelry market — and the savings are among the most dramatic in consumer goods.
Price Match Policy
Brilliant Earth's price match guarantee lets you claim a lower price from qualifying competitors — both at the time of purchase and up to 14 days after. Knowing the rules can save you from overpaying on big-ticket items.
No Formal Competitor Price Match
Brilliant Earth does not offer a formal competitor price match policy. However, Brilliant Earth's lab-grown diamond pricing is structurally competitive with other lab-grown retailers — comparison shopping among James Allen, Clean Origin, and Brilliant Earth is worthwhile for specific stone specifications.
Lab-Grown vs. Mined Structural Savings
The most impactful 'price comparison' at Brilliant Earth is between lab-grown and mined diamonds — identical specifications at 50–80% cost difference. This structural savings is permanent and exceeds any promotional discount available anywhere in the jewelry market.
