Article: I'm quoted in L.A. Times re: my ethical engagement ring
Wow, I've gotten more press mileage out of buying my engagement ring from Brilliant Earth! I certainly never expected that.
Here's yesterday's article in the L.A. Times.
Poor Brilliant Earth, though. Both when the SF Chronicle and the LA Times interviewed me I told stories about how great it was to find and work with Brilliant Earth. neither article even ever mentions that I was their customer. (And it was BE, by the way, who pointed the reporters in each case to me in the first place!)
At least the L.A. Times didn't go to quite as much effort to make me sound like an out-there hippy-dippy type. Here's the paragraph:
"The interest in ethical jewelry has been spurred by people like Elisa Camahort, a San Jose vegan who shops organic in food, clothing and other essentials, and writes a blog about how to be more eco-conscious. She said she was very aware of how she spent her money and didn't want to support "monopolistic" mining practices. She still wanted a diamond though.
"I'm trying to send a message to the market, rather than boycotting it overall," she said. "I want to find the ethical version.""
