She’s like that buttonhole that you always miss, making you all lopsided shirt and no pizzaz. The truth is she makes you skip a beat, with your heart drumming a rhythm that travels to the skies. You know everyone can hear it; it’s so loud, it’s so erratic, but then again your heartbeat always does this when she’s around. You’re a clumsy mess and you love it.

years in the making

I’ve been following Gardens of the Sun for years now and have dreamed of customizing my engagement ring alongside my partner. This ring means so much to me, and having it come from such a heartfelt business with people that truly care has been the best experience. Thank you!!!

Best experience EVER

This was the best experience I’ve ever had buying jewelry. The customer service is IMMACULATE! They even offered to hold my ring while I went on a trip to make sure it arrived while I was home.

Then we get to the ring and it is even more gorgeous than I could have imagined. The quality is immaculate. The ring box is beautiful and it includes a tiny flower which is the best little touch!! I will absolutely be purchasing more from Gardens of the Sun

Perfection

Your team treated me like family and gave me a wonderful experience, my engagement ring is better than I could ever imagine because of you guys I'm so grateful xx

Cassandra

The perfect engagement ring!

My fiancé and I picked out my engagement ring from Gardens of the Sun and I couldn’t be happier with it. The process of picking out the stone, setting and band was so much fun, and the team at Gardens of the Sun was so helpful in sending pictures and mock-ups! I’ve received so many compliments on my ring, and it’s so beautiful and unique!
