About Grown Brilliance:

Grown Brilliance was founded by Akshie Jhaveri, a third-generation jeweler. Inspired by her family’s legacy, Akshie launched a collection and then a company whose mission was to create a transparent and value-driven approach to jewelry with 100% conflict-free lab-grown diamonds always of the highest quality that never compromise on style or value. Grown Brilliance was founded with the understanding that the right jewelry has the power to transform how you look and feel, and we strive to bring you that power with our commitment to timeless jewels and conscious living.

As a proud minority-female-founded and 75% female-led company, Grown Brilliance’s commitment to Akshie’s founding mission is only matched by our commitment to supporting brilliant women who continuously push commercial and creative boundaries to empower and inspire future generations of women to pursue their passions.
