Founder and Chief Creative 

Meri is the founder and creative force behind Gardens of the Sun. She has a big vision for the impact our jewelry will have on the world. She’s on a mission to meet every single person in our supply chain, so we create jewelry that makes you feel better than before and that supports everyone involved in making it.

Co-founder and Brand Strategist 

Annisa turns our jewelry into poetry. With her words, she gives them wings. Annisa is the co-founder, making Gardens of the Sun a true women-owned enterprise. She’s a feminist and a true global citizen: born in Indonesia, raised in Canada, married to an Australian and now living in Bali.

Chief of Operations 

Ferris is the Chief of Getting Things Done. She's here not only to help you find that special piece, but works her tail off to go above and beyond to make you happy. She's got your back (and mine, when she tells me again to slow the F down and just focus on one thing first instead of a 1000)! 

Sustainability and Sourcing Specialist

Evi is on fire to make sure that Gardens of the Sun becomes increasingly ethical and responsible in its sourcing and operations. She improves transparency in our supply chains, implements our sourcing policy and helps communicate this to everyone who needs to know.

Quality Control and Systems Manager

Martina is actually a doctor's assistant, rolled into Gardens of the Sun with Pinterest ninja skills and turned out to be a rockstar in smoothing our daily operations. She sets up the systems and directives necessary for ADD visionaries to be creative without letting everything else slip through the cracks. 

Administrative Assistant 

Yudi helps take care of all those things that creative minds tend to forget. From making sure all our employees have health insurance, to financial administration to get every single one of your orders in our signature jewelry box. 

Visual Branding Officer

Those drool-worthy photos on our website? The fun birthstone stories on our Instagram? The little photo albums we secretly put into your custom ring package? That’s all Hanum’s talent at work. She’s our in-house graphic designer and photographer. 

Junior Photographer and Videographer 

Dodik is responsible for the visual database of all our diamonds and gemstones. He’s a pro at taking videos of slow dancing salt and pepper stones, colorful sapphires and lightning opals.

PR and Marketing Assistant

A fresh grad from Sorbonne in Paris, Arya is our most fashion-savvy team member. He’s most excited about growing our presence on Youtube. You should really join our newsletter and see all the fun things he’s doing there! 

PR and Marketing Assistant

Fira helps you find us all over the Internet. She’s our pro Tumblr blogger, and supports our social media marketing. She’s your point of contact for returns and exchanges. She wants to give you 120% loyalty and service and then some!

Shipping Assistant

Sogi gift wraps every single order you place with his loving hands and attention to detail. He ensures all packages are shipped out timely. We recently discovered he’s got epic jewelry design skills, so who knows what’s next?

Visual Branding Strategist

Dod is a senior photographer, videographer and graphic designer. He documents our partnerships and milestones in artful documentary style videos.

Master Goldsmith
Afrianto has been working with Meri from the very start, turning her designs into instant heirlooms. His family has been working as silversmiths for four generations in the city of Yogyakarta, and is proud to continue his heritage. With Meri's support, he has set up his own workshop in 2016.

Goldsmith 
A safekeeper of a time-honoured smithing tradition and precious know-how. He proudly continues the old fashioned way of metalmithing and forging metals, with his own two hands.

Goldsmith 
Born and raised in Kota Gede, a maze of narrow streets, lined with mosaic-tiled houses and family-run silver workshops. Suyatman uses traditional goldsmithing skills to transform a piece o  gold into a work of art, much the same way as it was millennia ago.
