Checkerboard Citrine Necklace
Each rose cut citrine measures just over 7 mm and was mined in Brazil. The yellow gemstone has been bezel set with an open back, so the stone's energies touch your skin, a direct line to its warmth and light. The chain hugs the rose cut citrine without actually touching it, moving and flowing just like best friendships and relationships do.
The chain wraps around the citrine like an embrace, moving freely but always staying close. Just like real connections: space to breathe, with a bond that holds.
Citrine is the stone of joy, confidence and abundance. It's for sunny souls and those who need a little light. It brings warmth to your day and reminds you to show up as your brightest self.
This checkerboard citrine necklace is available in your chosen chain length, with a secure lobster clasp. Your rose cut citrine necklace will look similar to the photos.

Recycled sterling silver
We work with a local refiner who recycles silver from post-consumer sources, like old jewelry, silverware, and even silver recovered from x-rays and other medical waste. This doesn’t stop new silver from being mined (most silver is a byproduct of other metals anyway), but it does cut emissions by about 8x compared to newly mined silver. And it keeps what already exists in circulation, instead of letting it go to waste.
Want to join in? If you have old silver jewelry or silverware gathering dust, you can bring it to our showroom. We’ll recycle it and give you shop credit in return.
Citrine
Citrine is a November birthstone. The zest that brightens your day. Citrine shines yellow with health and abundance. It gets the art of living, that it is full of prosperity, joy, and everything in between.
When in doubt, hold on to it. As citrine is the magnet of manifestation, what you wish, you will, so you do and then you be. Citrine would tell you, “You got this,” but really, it reminds you that actually, you had it all along.

How to care for your jewelry
Over time, silver tends to tarnish, reflecting its personal journey with you. Depending on your environment, exposure to air, moisture, chemicals, and sebum, this process can speed up. Many find that this natural aging adds charm and character to their jewelry.
If you prefer to keep your silver shining, a little care goes a long way.
Please care for your ring using the soft cloth included in your purchase. For a gentle, natural cleaning option, consider adding soap nuts to your order.

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!” ❤️

Best experience EVER ![User picture]()
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

The perfect engagement ring! ![User picture]()
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!

Easy process and good advice ![User picture]()
I have only the best to say about the company and the special piece for myself that I created with them. It is every bit so special and beautyful as I could hope and expect. And the customer-service is flawless with quick and easy contacts and good advice (especially since I got second thoughts about wich size to choose).

The most unique wedding set ![User picture]()
![User picture]()
![User picture]()
I dreamed of owning a hexagon diamond ring by Gardens of the Sun, years before my proposal. When it became my time to design my custom set, the team could not have been more helpful in creating a unique piece of wearable art. Maharani suggested a silver wedding band with blue sapphires to compliment my hexagon salt & pepper diamond ring set in gold - and while I had not originally envisioned my gold ring with a silver band, I was truly blown away by the end result! The rings just fit together so perfectly, and compliment each other in the most gorgeous way. I get compliments daily on how beautiful my ring set is! I've never seen another set quite like mine, and I love it even more knowing that it was designed specifically for me. Thank you to the Gardens of the Sun team for creating such a magical, dreamy set of jewelry that I will cherish for a lifetime!!

Two rings, a story, and a lot of heart. ![User picture]()
Like every good love story, we wanted our wedding and engagement rings to be unique and true to the love that inspired them. That's a lot to ask of jewelry, and I truly believe that Gardens of the Sun is the only company that could live up to that lofty vision. Friends and family are sick to death of us talking about our rings, but every time I look at my finger I smile, and what kind of value can you place on that? The entire experience was a delight. Thank you GOTS team. We love your impeccable work!

20 times and counting! ![User picture]()
![User picture]()
I have been thrilled again! I have bought no less than 20 times from GOTS, and seriously never been disappointed. I've ordered several custom rings and they have been amazing at bringing my dreams to life.
Now we can't believe in that many orders (probably 50 items!) That everything has been perfect? Once, and only once, did I describ my custom ring in an unclear way. For that, I am so thankful that GOTS send a preview photo for your approval before shipping! I saw the photo and realized I explained my concept in a confusing way. After I clarified my dreams (with a drawing) they actually took the ring apart and reset it in the way I had really hoped! Thank you a million times over! For caring about my desires, your quality, your staff, and the planet. I will purchase another 50x without a hesitation!

Beautiful ![User picture]()
This necklace was a must have to for me. It’s my husband/love of my life/best friend birthstone. And my lucky stone! I’m a very indecisive person when I log on to this site. But while browsing, I saw this necklace and fell in love. It’s absolutely beautiful. I love the clever way the chain is designed on the pendant. And the citrine is just lovely.
I’m so happy with my purchase and with this company. If I could give 20 stars I would.

I’m obsessed ![User picture]()
Gardens of the sun is top tier! I love this ring so much. The green sapphire and green garnet! Are you kidding me! I didn’t even know they came in green. I love it so much! I am a sucker for anything green so of course I was drawn to this ring and it’s the perfect size. I’m so happy thank you :)

I am absolutely blown away by my ring! ![User picture]()
![User picture]()
I'm very happy with how my ring turned out and the excellent customer service at Gardens of the Sun. I'll give some context on why i chose Gardens of the Sun. I had gotten married and my husband and I bought each other simple wedding bands. The entire process of getting married was very simple and happened fairly quickly, we had no engagement and thus no engagement rings and our ceremony was a quick solemnisation witnessed by 50 of our closest friends and family members. My husband wanted to gift me with another ring, this time with a diamond or gemstone topping it. And because of my picky nature, he let me choose the shop and design myself. Of course I wanted a gorgeous ring but what was equally important to me were three additional requirements: I wanted the ring to come from a small company, not large brands like Tiffany; I wanted the ring to improve and support the community it operates it and not just profiting the owners; and I wanted all the components of the ring to be sourced ethically. It was mightily difficult to find a company that meets my requirements and falls within the budget so I was very much over the moon when i found Gardens of the Sun on instagram!
I can't emphasize enough how beautiful the ring in person, I gasped when I first saw it. The gemstone is a 2.44 carat sapphire sourced from Tanzania. I love its details like the minor inclusions and how in different lights, it could look mossy-green or verdant green.
Thank you to the team, especially Rissa for patiently answering my numerous queries! If you're considering getting a custom ring, do it! My only advice is that it does take quite a long time (at least 10 weeks) so do factor that into your timeline!

Such a beautiful surprise ! 🤗 ![User picture]()
Making a choice was hard ! Those rose cut Montana sapphires are so gorgeous ... 😍
So here is my new ring, and I absolutely LOVE it. The gemstone looked nice on the Website, but it's so much better in person !
The wonderful Gardens of the Sun team sent me several photos before posting the ring, just to make sure I was satisfied 👍
Shipping was super fast.
I am totally delighted 😍🤗
I also received an adorable box as you can see on the picture !

Beautiful Mystery! ![User picture]()
![User picture]()
I absolutely love my mystery bundle. I never would have ordered these items myself but somehow they are perfect! I feel joy every time I look at my glowing heart ring. The necklace is so tender and is also strong. All of the other items are precious and somehow felt necessary! I highly recommend all Garden of the Sun items but there is something extra magical about taking the risk to gift yourself with a Mystery Bundle. We live in uncertain times & being willing to allow surprise is healing! Thank you fabulous humans for increasing my hope! ❤️
