Rough Borneo Ruby Ring with Hidden Gems

Ruby is the birthstone of July, and is associated with all forms of love, from faithful and courtly commitment to wild and passionate sensuality.

This ring features ethically sourced rubies. Their color is between red ruby and pink sapphire. We buy them straight from a group of indigenous people in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. They receive fair pay, and we can guarantee you that these rubies are conflict free and untreated. 

It can take weeks for one person to find enough of these rough rubies to make a ring. Trust me when I say that this pink ruby ring is something truly special. 

Hidden Gems Jewelry

Our Hidden Gems Jewelry is our love letter to raw gemstones. Each rough gemstone, with its unpolished charm, carries a story shaped by nature.

Crafted by hand using recycled sterling silver or our signature ethical gold, Hidden Gems jewelry is for those who see beauty in the raw and the real. For the dreamers, the givers, and the ones who live and love intensely. 

These make such meaningful gifts too! Mothers’ rings, friendship rings, engagement rings, or even wedding bands. 

This is raw gemstone jewelry for everyday wear, for moments that matter, and speaks to those seeking more from their jewelry - more meaning, more story, more soul. Jewelry to make you feel connected, grounded, and one of a kind.

Ruby

The most magnificent, Ruby is the birthstone for July. It lets you experience love in all its hot, sweaty forms, from wild sensuality to intimate communion. It’s a stone that intensifies passion in committed relationships – it ignites a soulful fire from kindling that has been collected over time, the kind that’s got a warm, safe slow-burning light. Ruby’s eccentric power lets you shine through the crowd. It lets you let your hair down, without ever looking untamed.

Most powerful at a full moon, the fiery glow of a ruby is said to help overcome exhaustion and lethargy. True to its rich hue, it’s said a ruby stirs the blood, stimulates circulation to amplify energy – this is the stone to magnify your inner beauty and gives you that radiating facial glow.

Did Not Last

I have had this ring only 5 months. My husband bought it for me for my birthday. By month 4 a stone was missing and one was broken. And now there are two missing stones. The warranty is only for the first three months so there isn’t an option for replacement of the gems. The ring itself is very solid but the gems don’t stay in. Very disappointed because I love the ring so much and had it on my wishlist for several years and it’s looks so sad after only 5 months. In the photo you can see the two missing stones on the right and the broken one on the second stone from left.

Exactly what I hoped for!

First off the unboxing is my favorite! So perfectly down.
In to the ring, it’s perfect ❤️ we have it for a wedding ring. It’s very subtle inside, but when you step into the sunshine is when it shows all its glory. 💯 recommend.

Very satisfied nonetheless

This was my engagement ring and I love it ! True to size. Went down a little like recommended and it fits perfectly. Packaging was really sweet with fun details about the stone. Giving only 4 stars because I had to pay extra shipping fees for "remote area delivery" although the carrier they ship with regularly ship to my house and I never heard about my address being considered remote. Also, please note the gems are more of a dusty blueish tone. Although it's perfect for my taste and a color I really enjoy, the pictures represented show more of a white pearlescent tint than what I received. I'm very satisfied regardless but it's something that might bother someone else.

Hi Shani,

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience and lovely photos. I'm sure your valuable feedback will help many customers when they're deciding to purchase the rough opal ring with hidden gems :)

I'm deeply sorry about the additional shipping fee and I understand your confusion. Please know that the shipping price stated upon checkout is the shipping price that Gardens of the Sun and FedEx has agreed to ship to the recipient country. Normally, FedEx or other shipping carriers are able to ship our packages to any address within the country without additional cost.

However, unfortunately, certain shipping carriers have their own policy and reasons why some areas are considered remote, hence the more expensive shipping fees. In cases like this, we'd find another shipping carrier that doesn't consider the recipient's address as remote so our clients don't have to pay for the extra shipping fee. It's unfortunate that your address is considered remote by both FedEx and DHL. You can find the list of areas FedEx and DHL consider as remote through these links:
https://www.dhl.de/dam/images/Express/downloads/dhl-express-remote-areas-service.pdf
https://www.fedex.com/content/dam/fedex/us-united-states/services/Zipcodes_OPA_ODA.pdf

I hope you understand that the remote location pricing is beyond our control and we don't have a system yet to automatically integrate the price with FedEx and DHL remote location pricing. Hopefully, a system like this will be available in the future. We'd absolutely use this to deliver a better customer experience on our website.

Yes, our rough opals have slightly different base colors and different colorful flashes. I'm so glad to hear that you love the opal shade in your ring and that it fits perfectly on you!

Again, thank you for leaving us a review. I'm excited to see your next order, Shani. Please let us know if you have another address that isn't listed as remote area or if you need any help before placing an order. We'd be happy to help!

With love,
Maharani

Obsessed!

I ordered this as my wedding band and its absolutely beautiful! I had to get my size made and the team was so nice and quick to respond, when I mentioned it was a wedding band they let me know about potential rubbing with a lower set engagement ring (not an issue for me) but it was great they communicated that. Its so beautiful and feels so me, I couldn't love it anymore!

Truly a gift of love

Everything about choosing Gardens of the Sun was perfect for making a special gift for my daughter. I wanted to get the same ring with different birthstones for me, my daughter and my mom. I chose the hidden gem collection and am so impressed with every detail, from the gorgeous rings and individual wooden boxes, to the beautiful packaging wrapped with love. AND there's the added bonus of knowing I'm helping people and the earth!! Thank you ❤️

As always it's totally stunning!

This sapphire is so beautiful and sparkly and richly colored! I wish I could get a photo that does it justice. I am in love with the setting... it feels heavy and high quality while being comfortable to wear. Also always the shipping and packaging are on point. GOTS never disappoints!

Tiny Piece of Sunshine

This ring is absolutely EVERYTHING. Citrine has always called to me, partially because it’s my favourite colour. Having this piece of sunshine to wear day in and day out is everything. I’ll definitely be adding some more hidden gem pieces too!

I found the one

I am most impressed with Gardens of the Sun. I have never received something that showed so much detail and love for what you do as this parcel.
The box was taped and at the front there was a little heart drawn on it. By then I already new I got something extra special! My hands were shaky, I was so excited! and as I unfold and open the feeling grew.
It has been a fantastic experience buying from you! And the actual ring is absolutely the one for me. We were just meant to be.

Hidden gems ring white pearls

This is the piece that led me to discover GotS. Finally got it and it's more beautiful than the photos can capture. Dainty and unique. The lustre makes the pearls look almost like diamond/zircon at a distance.

Beautiful!

I've been eyeing the emerald hidden gem ring for a while and finally ordered it. I received it last night and it's so beautiful, just like I expected. I also got the citrine hidden gems ring, because my daughter was born in November and it's her birthstone. The two go really well together!
The shopping experience was also very pleasant, I needed some advice regarding ring size etc. and always received very nice and prompt responses.
Overall very happy with the purchase :)

I cannot describe how happy I am about my new jewelry. yesterday a small, beautiful package from bali arrived just in time for international women's day. since i was on your website for the first time, not a day has passed without i am looking forward to my order. i think i have never been so happy about something material as about my new jewelry. i'm so happy to wear the gemstones on my body from now on. thank you for your wonderful work. I bought jewelry, but what I recieved was much more♥️. I can only say, please keep your heartwarming mentality and stay as great as you are! the website, the customer contact, the social media presence, everything is perfect. online shopping has never been so easy and so beautiful. Can‘t wait for my next order.

It’s a mix

The rings arrived in beautiful packaging, Lots of love and care was evident. The emerald and the sapphire rings are very pretty. However, I am Very disappointed in the opal ring, I am wearing the rings stacked, and the stones in the opal ring are so small that the area with stones looks smaller than the other two rings, The opals are almost totally white so they don’t show up well at all.

Fabulous

Love, love, love this ring. Arrived in quaint packaging. I love the rawness of this ring, it is exactly what I didn't know I wanted. I cherish wearing my daughters birthstone. Easily stackable, does fit according to recommended measurements.
