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.

Beautiful. I love it!

Everything was fine, I am very satisfied. The color of the stones is beautiful, the color of emerald and amethyst is indescribably beautiful.

Rough Opal Ring with Hidden Gems

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.

Four Borneo Diamond Ring

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!

Garnet Wing Earrings

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

Custom Rose Cut Montana Sapphire Ring in Silver
Jenna S. (Georgia, United States)
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

Custom Australian Opal Ring in Gold
Customer (North Carolina, United States)
Stunning custom opal ring

I had a fantastic experience working with Shenny, from picking out the perfect stone (she sent me additional pictures of the ones I was interested in), to creating a mockup so that I could see if yellow gold would look good with the stone, to keeping me updated every step of the way after that. When the ring was finished, she sent me final pictures, and I had a chance to request any last changes. The ring was shipped out promptly after that, and I received it in just a few days even though I am in the US! When I put it on, it fit perfectly. The opal sparkled with its hidden fire in a variety of different lights, and my breath was taken away. I will truly cherish wearing this ring. Thank you Shenny and Gardens if the Sun!!

Another gorgeous purchase

Nevada Turquoise Ring with Hidden Gems
Emma H. (Colorado, United States)
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!

Borneo Diamond Slice Ring
Sandra N. (British Columbia, Canada)
Surprised and delighted

Both rings I ordered were what I expected but I really appreciated the handwritten tags and informational inserts. The box was also lovely and I love that it's made of recycled banana leaves!

Custom Montana Sapphire Ring in Gold
Customer (Nevada, United States)
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!

Custom Australian Opal Ring in Gold
Justin G. (Lisbon, Portugal)
Amazing personalized service for custom

I chose Gardens of the Sun for my, now fiance's, engagement ring because of their ethical practices and unique desings. There were a few things I wasn't sure about on the custom page, so I reached out to them. From the very beginning, Maharani was quick to respond and very helpful in the highly personalized design process. I could tell she was eager to help me create the perfect ring and had absolute positive vibes the whole time. As for the ring, well it turned out to be perfect for us and my fiance can't stop looking at it! We will definitely be returning to Gardens when it comes to the wedding bands and I can't wait to see what they help us come up with next.

Amazing!!!!

I have a few gardens of the sun items now and I love them all, so beautifully made. I have also given as gifts and they have been loved by the recipients too. Will continue to buy from gardens of the sun❤️❤️❤️ Thankyou for making such amazing jewellery ☺️

Tourmaline 4 ever 😍

Making a choice was so hard ... but oops, I did it again 😋 Those two candy babies have been adopted ! 💍 As usual, super fast shipping, and my new treasures came into a cute box.
I'll be back for more, I'm afraid Gardens of the Sun cast a spell on me 😅💖🌈✨

I'm in love 🤩

This is my 5th purchase 😃
I had the chance to find a stunning Kornerupine ring thanks to a VIP sale. After purchasing it, I received my order quickly.
I am absolutely delighted 😍 The ring looked gorgeous on the photos I saw on the Website, but when I opened the little box ... Wooowwww !! 🤩💫🎇 It's beautiful, so beautiful !!! ❤❤❤ I didn't expect it to be so amazing, so much better in person !
Well ... I'm in love 😁
Congratulations to the fabulous Gardens of the Sun production team for this fantastic creation 👏👏👏 I don't know how to translate this, but in France, when someone creates something beautiful, we use to say that this person has magic ( or fairy ) fingers ! 🧚‍♀️
Getting my jewelry from Gardens of the Sun is always a huge pleasure.
Thank you so much ! I'll order again, for sure ! 👍
