Why book a bespoke jewellery consult
The custom jewellery design process
Let's start with your story, infuse your values and create something different
Step 1: Discuss
Whether online or in-person, we start with a chat about your story, style and what matters most to you.
Our process is a little unconventional. Rather than asking what size diamond you want, we explore what makes you unique.
Within an hour, we usually have a clear direction for a custom piece that’s anything but ordinary.
Step 2: Design
This is where your ideas take shape. We’ll sketch initial designs and introduce you to a curated selection of gemstones from our treasure trove.
Together, we’ll refine your custom design until every detail feels just right.
Step 3: Create
This is where your jewellery comes to life. We craft your piece with love and precision, and keep you updated throughout the process.
From the first spark of an idea, you’ll see your story transformed into a one-of-a-kind keepsake, ready to be loved for years to come.
"Fairina is amazing to work with and super talented. She has a very unique take on jewellery design."
"She completely nailed the colour brief when sourcing the stones, sketched a design that I fell in love with right in front of me and communication was superb from start to finish. She gave me options and valuable advice, worked within my budget without compromising on design, and I loved that I was dealing directly with the person that would be designing and making my ring. Her customer service is exceptional, she is a dream to work with and I highly recommend her."
Eunice Ku
"I had no idea how to explain what kind of ring I was after but somehow Fairina captured everything and made a perfect ring for us."
"From the start of the custom engagement ring process Fairina was helpful, attentive and supportive. She took the time to get to know us, suggest options at multiple price points and send through helpful reference photos. Thank you SO MUCH Fairina, the ring you created is truly stunning and better than I could have imagined. People constantly compliment how stunning it is."
Veronica Norman
"Fairina was great at helping me develop a narrative around the design that was true to my partner, myself and our relationship."
"She helped me understand all the possibilities available to me but more importantly helped me narrow it down to the perfect ring."
Greg Clarke
"Better than how I imagined it."
"After what felt like endless research I found Fairina and instantly fell in love with her unique style. We worked together for over a year to create my dream wedding/engagement ring. Fairina took my chaotic ideas and brought my vision to life. [She] created the most beautiful ring I could have ever asked for."

It all starts with a consult - online via Zoom or in the Sydney Showroom.

Our jewellery is proudly designed and made in Sydney. We have a Sydney-based workshop and collaborate with skilled local jewellers and trusted suppliers across Australia. Gemstones are sourced locally where possible, and internationally if required, to find the perfect stone for your design.
