Use of proceeds

   We estimate, based upon an initial public offering price of $12.00 per share, that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $88.5 million (or $101.8 million if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock), after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock, we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to purchase 1,249,999 LLC Interests from each of the Continuing Equity Owners on a pro rata basis for $14.0 million in aggregate at a price per unit equal to the initial public offering price per share of Class A common stock in this offering less the underwriting discount. Upon each purchase of LLC Interests from the Continuing Equity Owners, the corresponding shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock will be canceled. We will only retain the net proceeds that are used to purchase newly issued LLC Interests from Brilliant Earth, LLC, which, in turn, Brilliant Earth, LLC intends to use for general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in businesses, products, services or technologies; however, we do not have agreements or commitments for any material acquisitions or investments at this time. Brilliant Earth, LLC will bear or reimburse Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. for all of the expenses of this offering.

Conforming changes will be deemed made wherever applicable in the Preliminary Prospectus to reflect the changes in Class A common stock being offered by us described above. Such conforming changes will be reflected in the final prospectus relating to the offering.
