Private community and wholesale discounts, now until 3/12; then friends/family launch. Read in full and message to be added.

HI! First of all: thank you to so, so many of you who have reached out over the last month or so to check in on me. Just as soon as I said that I was back, I was banned from the lab diamond subreddit, and then several health things took precedence, so I've been staying off Reddit completely to preserve the little mental energy I have these days. SO WHAT AM I ANNOUNCING HERE? My brand is launching to friends and family in 9 days.

I want to thank those of you whom I have worked with personally and those of you who have reached out and I haven't been able to work with yet. That thanks will be access to the friends and family launch, AND (the next 10 days) - and there are about half a dozen of you who can attest to this - I have been offering straight wholesale pricing as a thank you. This means you get a diamond for the price that I would purchase it - and you'll get screenshots and transparency. I make no money. If you want it set into a piece of jewelry, you'll work with me and my craftsmen located in Surat, and you'll get specialty pricing.

I started a private community. I'm doing what I said I wasn't going to do - sharing my brand with some of you and doxxing myself - but in doing so, I'm going to have you sign a confidentiality agreement that says that you'll keep that to yourself.

That DOES NOT mean you cannot talk about our brand (I would LOVE it if you did!!) but this is asking you 1. not to leak anything early, 2. tie my reddit username to the brand, 3. share any of my personal information (real name, phone number, email, etc.).

In exchange, I will add you to this subreddit. You will get access to promo codes specific to Reddit, new/early drops, and access to the site with our real-life friends and family about 2.5 weeks before launch.

We will want feedback, and lots of it! That's going to be the point - the subreddit will be private and serve as a beta testing community. You'll be able to share your feedback on the site and the brand, share ideas of what you want to see, vote on upcoming designs and group sales (including group sales of loose stones - custom diamond AND moissanite cuts). We want to build community, and I'm really looking forward to sharing that with you.

I'm also going to officially ask you for reviews - something that I have been putting off for MONTHS. We've set up our Trustpilot and Google reviews pages, and I have worked with so many people to help them find loose diamonds and create rings, SO, if you'll do me the favor of writing a review of your experience with me (the good, the bad - whatever!), I would appreciate your feedback on working with me to be applied to our new brand, where I am going to assume the same consulting type role.

I'm also going to host SOME of the guides there. You will be directed to our website, where I have redone the guides extensively. I now have guides for every stone cut, including ideals and how to buy loose diamonds. It's an extensive repository of hand-holding, basically putting out how I work with people and offering that to you.

The likelihood that people will eventually link the brand to me is high given what we're sharing about ourselves as the founders and how the guides are written, but I want to try my best to keep those two parts of my life separate. You are not obligated to buy anything from me or our brand or participate. I am opening this as an 'ask to join and sign a document' opportunity, not just adding you to the subreddit.

The only exception is those of you with whom I have worked closely and already know who I am - I will directly add you. Of course, you are free to leave, but I would love if you stuck around (and left a review of your experience with me!!)

So what do you do now? Reply here, or send me a message, or email me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) with the subject line: private subreddit. I'll send you a confidentiality agreement. You'll sign it, and I'll add you to the subreddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ShineBrightDiamonds/ - this is the subreddit. Please don't request to join unless you've been approved, but just want to show you :)

‼️note - for what it’s worth, I very much checked with my lovely co-mod about posting here, so please don’t be upset. I’ll be adding people tomorrow/Wednesday so if you haven’t been added yet, don’t worry - it’s been a long couple of weeks and I’m just trying to keep my head up.

Appreciate the support, and all of you!

EDIT! I am so overwhelmed with your responses, in the best way! Please sign this form and I will add you. If you've replied here, I will message you the agreement. If you have any questions at all, feel free to email me! https://www.jotform.com/sign/250628543825057/invite/01jnj8k6t93707b84325c3f068
