Would NOT recommend this company. We have a ring that we designed. They guaranteed to make our ring to spec. It has 4 stones. The Emerald fell out during the second time of wearing it. They fixed, resent with scratches and repairs that I would compare to a three year old skill set. Embarrassing to show my wife considering I promised her that I made a good choice going through this company. They repaired and replaced the Emerald with a different one. This Emerald had a huge line through it. I was specific with the quality I ordered before I signed the agreement and purchased. They told me it was hard to get the Emerald I requested. I said they shouldn't have promised it to me if it was so hard to accomplish what I was promised.
They wanted some time to track down the right Emerald. Months went by at this point. The next Emerald sent didn't have the same cut as the other stones. My wife and I had little money when we got married. This took years and lots of extra work to save for. Appx $10,000 purchase total purchase. A new wedding band with our kids birthstones and an engagement ring with a diamond. This nearly one year battle to get what we ordered has emotionally harmed us, and my wife refuses to wear this ring now. They ruined our lifetime purchase. I wouldn't expect much after what I went through. They refuse to refund me for our struggles and purchase even with all of the emails and documentation I have. I am now seeking legal counsel and consulting with the Better Business Bureau. Be careful is what I would advise.

Today, Brilliance had their attorney send me a letter, threatening again, even after losing in arbitration. They don't agree with the arbitrator's decision and won't pay me. So they kept the ring and $10,078 from me. Now I will be forced to enforce the decision in court. Sound like a company you want to spend your hard earned money with? Jonathon Ohayon is the Brilliance persons name. Zalman Shapiro is his representing attorney. His office is on Wall Street, in New York. Brilliance's BBB accreditation is revoked. Look it up.

Next update: They hired an attorney, who contacted the BBB, not to close the complaint as unresolved, as they wanted to work to find a solution, and solve in an "amicable" fashion. Their idea of "amicable" was to try to bully me into taking down my complaint posts of what has happened, and in doing so, they wouldn't come after me for libel, which I have never, and will never do. By this, they will repair the ring to the way it has always supposed to have been done. Even though their manufacturer defect warranty covers this in writing anyway. Also, the ring is beyond repair, and they never were able to build it correct to begin with. As a side note: the attorney wrote his letter very quickly, I am to assume, as he obviously didn't take the time to proof read. His grammar and abbreviations are not what I would expect from a lawyer. Not very professional.
