About

Hatch Brilliance is the marketplace for lab-grown diamonds. Based in Washington, DC, our team of gemologists, designers, and sales pros have obsessed over diamonds for nearly a century. So when you buy from us, you don’t just get gorgeous diamonds. You get diamond experts you can trust.

At these prices, diamonds are a man’s best friend.

What used to take millions of years now takes a few months. The process is still costly. But we sell diamonds for 50 - 70% less than traditional ones. So you can make her the happiest girl in the world, without sending your wallet into a deep depression.

The money-saving train doesn’t stop there, though. We also offer free US-shipping, free lifetime warranties, and free returns. Plus, if you find a ring somewhere else, we’ll match the exact make and quality for the same price—or even less.

Custom jewelry? Yeah. We do that.

We love collaborating on custom pieces. And we’ve got our process down pat. We’ll start with a baseline budget, then we’ll get to know you and your partner. With that, we’ll set a framework for your personality and personal style, which we’ll infuse into your design. If you have pictures, drawings, anything—we’d love to see them. If not, that’s OK, too.

When you’re ready, we’ll look at diamonds and gemstones. We’ll find some you like, sketch some designs, then render those with our 3D-CAD software. Along the way, we’ll check in to see what you think. Never rushing; never sleeping until we get it right.

Once you’re feeling good, we’ll create a wax model of your vision. That way, you can hold a prototype in your hand, giving you a perfect picture of how it’ll look. Once everything’s approved, our master jewelers will work their magic and bring the design to life in the metal you choose.
