Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The reported transaction, which involves a purchase of a limited partner's interest in Mainsail Co-Investors III, L.P. ("MCOI"), may represent a change in the Reporting Person's pecuniary interest in common units of Brilliant Earth, LLC (the "LLC Units") and shares of Class B common stock held by MCOI. For purposes of Section 16(b), such deemed purchase, for an aggregate consideration of $18,096, could be matchable against the sales reported on August 10, 2026, as reported on the Form 4 filed by the Reporting Person on August 12, 2026. Accordingly, the Reporting Person has fully disgorged to the Issuer, the Section 16(b) deemed profit of $2,033.
(2) Consists of (i) 31,098,704 shares of Class B common stock (and associated LLC Units) held by Mainsail Partners III, L.P. ("MP III"), (ii) 61,823 shares of Class B common stock (and associated LLC Units) held by Mainsail Incentive Program, LLC ("MIP"), and (iii) 687,544 shares of Class B common stock (and associated LLC Units) held by MCOI.
(3) Mainsail GP III, LLC ("GP III") is the general partner of MP III. MCOI is a co-investment vehicle that invests alongside MP III. GP III is the general partner of MCOI. A three member investment committee of GP III acts by a majority vote, with the Reporting Person possessing a veto right, with respect to the voting and dispositive power of the securities held by MP III and MCOI. Mainsail Management Company, LLC ("MMC") is the managing member of MIP, and the Reporting Person is the sole Manager of MMC. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interests therein.
(4) LLC Units (together with one share of Class B common stock for every LLC Unit) are exchangeable for one share of the Issuer's Class A common stock. The reported LLC Units, which were acquired by the Reporting Person prior to the Issuer's initial public offering, do not expire.
