Heart diamond ring

I love my new dainty piece, it's so pretty and well made. The thing that makes Garden of the Sun different is the way they interact with customers, they are always kind, caring and they truly care about your experience and that you get exactly what you hoped to. Plus the delibery, even though it shipped from literally the other part of the world, was sooooo quick and the packaging was stunning and made with love. Here is a couple of photos of my latest rings and of all my collection.

Lovely leaf ring

As always GOTS made a beautiful simple ring. I was looking for something to pair with my moonstone band as an alternate wedding ring set and this looks amazing together. Love it!

Super fast shipping, perfect tracking, order carefully packed.

Rough Opal Ring with Hidden Gems
Mikayla N. (Oregon, United States)
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.

Custom Birthstone Ring in Sterling Silver

Custom Family Ring

I gave birth a few months ago, and really struggled with postpartum depression in the immediate aftermath of the birth. As Mother's Day approached I decided I wanted to wear our son's birthstone on a ring as a reminder that I love him even when things are rough and I'm mentally not there. Then I decided I'd really like my husband's and my birthstone on the ring as well, flanking the center birthstone. I reached out to Gardens of the Sun and Maharani was fantastic! I don't have really an eye for design, so I told her to pick a few designs and we'd go from there. She provided several options and we iterated from there. Maharani was so responsive, and the designs came back fast every time! I ended up changing the center stone shape to one Maharani suggested and it was the right choice!! It took about the quoted time to produce, and it came via DHL in just a couple of days after being shipped from Bali, which was awesome, and the package arrived in excellent condition. It's such a beautiful ring, and I'm glad I changed up the center stone shape - I love it! I will definitely order custom jewelry again from Gardens of the Sun! The ring is high quality, but the price was shockingly affordable. A great balance of quality and price, and I love the unique stones. Thanks Gardens of the Sun, I feel like I made friends throughout the process!

Stunning, delicate, eye-catching

I received a ring as part of a design contest in which I participated and I absolutely love it. I am also impressed by the process of making it, from my initial design, to the polished design and then the final ring. The Gardens of the Sun team was there every step of the way, explaining all steps and providing advice on the best design choices. It feels incredibly special to wear a piece that I first imagined and was able to play a part in making.

Ordering was easy, delivery was fast and the earrings are beautiful, the color is as in the picture, changing tones with the light, as I expected. I also ordered an open ring and I love it. Colors and size are as I wanted it to be. Super happy with all 😊

Topaz Mom Ring
Stefania (Lombardy, Italy)
A ring close to my heart

Some weeks ago, during a design contest, I submitted a ring design close to my heart: a mom ring. My design was not selected and another more talented person won. Some weeks after, Meri reached out to me telling me they made a special mom ring inspired by my idea and asked me if I wanted It. I was stunned!!! So much kindness and love from across the globe !! Of course I love GotS more delicate and expert design tributing my idea and I immediately said yes!!!!!! THANK YOU ❤️

All rings from the photo are from Garden of the Sun ❤️

Three Stone Aquamarine Ring
luisa M.A. (South Moravian, Czechia)
love my ring!

First of all, the product is absolutely beautiful—it looks exactly like the pictures! I was also pleasantly surprised by how fast and easy the delivery was. I had a few questions during the shipping process, and the team at Gardens of the Sun responded quickly and kindly, which I really appreciated.

Just a heads-up: you may need to pay customs if your order is under a certain amount (like in my case), but the process was super easy to manage. The packaging was full of thoughtful details, making it feel extra special when it arrived.

I do have one regret though—I should have bought more, because everything is just gorgeous!

Custom Rose Cut Round Diamond Ring in Gold
Cristina &.R. (England, United Kingdom)
Absolutely amazing service. Thank you.

Gardens of the Sun went above and beyond to make the whole experience so memorable.

From the custom design, the updates and care to ensure we made the deadlines for our travel plans, Maharani and her team worked tirelessly to produce one of the most beautiful pieces of jewellery I’ve ever seen.

The attention to detail, the box, wonderful little hand drawn cards with the kindest message right to the quality of the finished engagement ring.

I proposed in the Himalayas with the sun coming up over Everest and thanks to Gardens of the Sun, it will always remain as one of the most perfect moments of my life.

Thank you for everything… She said “YES!” ❤️

Custom Birthstone Ring in Sterling Silver
Zsófi (Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Hungary)
Fantastic

The ring turned out very beautiful. The colors of the stones are very vibrant and the workmanship is very fine.

Gorgeous!

My husband bought this for an early 20th anniversary gift. Initially we were thinking of a custom ring but we both fell in love with this ready made salt and pepper diamond. If I’ve learned one thing from GOTS its that ‘flaws” are often the most interesting parts of things and if you read the lab report you’d never guess how gorgeous this diamond is. The inclusions are like little galaxies and it has the most magical sparks of light that shine like stars. Thank you for including a nice wooden box for it toblive in for the few times im not wearing it.

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.

Unique and beautiful

My husband bought this for me for my birthday. I wanted a single ring to wear in place of my original wedding set. Love the simple elegance of the salt and pepper diamonds. Meri and her team always come up with such unique and beautiful designs and I love my new addition to my GOTS jewels

Tourmaline, Diamond and Pearl Ring in Silver
Rosemary R. (Nevada, United States)
The dreamiest engagement ring from some lovely folks

I jumped on this tourmaline, diamond, and pearl ring even though I’ll need to get it resized down because I loved it so much. I’ve been casually looking for engagement rings for a year, and never found a company or ring I liked until Gardens of the Sun. I was so impressed by their business transparency and ethics, customer service, the sweet emails Meri sends out, and the creative beauty of their jewelry. I’m so grateful this company exists, and I’ll definitely be back for more in the future!

So in love

I can’t believe these beautiful earrings shipped from Bali to Seattle in less than a week! The packaging was beautiful and well thought out. My earrings came with an info card about garnets, and they look so beautiful.

Rough Opal Ring with Hidden Gems
Shani T. (Quebec, Canada)
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
