"The stone is so much more complex than I expected. Every single time I look at it it looks different and so sparkly! Who wants diamonds when sapphires are so full of personality!"
"You are a super talented person and I am so grateful to have come across you somehow! I don’t know if there is a more ultra patient and super understanding person in the world! Thanks again for making the process so special and easy."

Nell Jeandet, Melbourne
"Fairina put in so much time and dedication to source the perfect gems, and no small feat of craft to turn my imagination into reality."
'I loved seeing the process of jewellery making along the way and got so excited every time she sent through updates and photos! I chose Fairina to custom make my wedding ring because of her love for the unconventional and beautiful gems, as well as her ethical and sustainable practices. She was 100% the right choice!!"

Shannon Bell, The Gap
"Fairina took this beautiful tourmaline and brought it to life."
"The colours come to life in different light, sometimes I see pink & golden tones, other times honey tones. Thank you again Fairina, this ring captures the beautiful, happy & vibrant energy of my Mum, who I love & adore."

Rachael Mistry, Sydney

Purchasing loose gemstones
You can purchase a gemstone in one of two ways - Reserve or Gift.
Reserve a gem to save it for a future custom project. We'll securely hold it until you're ready to start designing.
Gift a gem to turn it into a luxe gifting experience, complete with a custom design credit towards a special piece of jewellery. It's a thoughtful way to say, “I want to create something special with you”, without having to design the ring straight away.
Find out more about Gem Gifting.
Want help choosing the right gem? Book a consult and we’ll walk you through it.
Gem Gifting is for people who care about meaning.
As a gifter it's perfect if you:
- Love the idea of a deeply personal, one-of-a-kind gift
- Aren't sure what design your gift recipient would love
- Want something you can gift now
- Need the peace of mind of being able to return or exchange your gift (terms and conditions apply)
For a gift recipient it's perfect if they:
- Love thoughtful jewellery that reflects their story
- Enjoy experiential gifts, but also love having something to unbox on their special day
- Value craft, character and personalisation over big brand names
- Appreciate expert guidance during their custom design process
Gem Gifting gives you the best of both worlds: Something tangible to unwrap now and something meaningful to create later.
Find out more about Gem Gifting.
Gem Gifting is for the moments that deserve more than flowers, chocolates or a stock standard gift card.
Here’s where it shines:
- Engagements: Don’t know their ring size or dream design? No problem. Gem Gifting lets you propose with a gemstone and design the ring after the “yes”.
- Milestone birthdays: Perfect for birthdays, including big ones like 30th, 40th and 50th celebrations. It says “you deserve something one-of-a-kind, not off-the-shelf".
- Anniversaries: Celebrate with a gem you can gift now, then collaborate on a piece that marks how far you've come.
- Graduations: Commemorate their hard work with a piece that’ll carry their story into what’s next.
- Memorial jewellery: For honouring a loved one or a life chapter. Choose a gemstone for its meaning, then co-create a piece that holds space for memory, grief and celebration.
- "Just because" moments: For the person you love who never treats themselves. For the mum who’s always wanted a custom piece but hasn’t taken the leap. For the partner, sibling or best friend who deserves to know you're thinking of them.
Gem Gifting turns the occasion into an experience - from the moment it’s unwrapped to the day it’s worn.
Your gift comes beautifully presented with:
- Your gemstone in a handcrafted, sustainably-sourced hardwood jewellery box
- A set of metal ring sizers
- A credit for a custom design experience
- A handwritten card
- A branded gift box
- A guaranteed position on our design calendar
- Complimentary standard worldwide shipping
Inclusions may change from time to time. Check the listing of the gemstone you purchase for the most up-to-date inclusions.
Happy customers are why we’re in business. If you purchase a gemstone and it doesn’t look like what you expected or just doesn’t feel right, contact us within 14 days of receiving it to organise a refund.
Gemstones and design credits are covered by the Happiness Guarantee, subject to the following conditions:
- The case containing the gem must not be opened
- The gemstone, jewellery box, gem case, gift box, gift packaging and any other inclusions in the product listing must be safely returned in the same condition they were sent in
Refunds are issued to the original payment method. To cover payment processing fees and the original shipping cost of the gift to your recipient, a 3% restocking fee of the gemstone and credit amount will apply to returned orders paid via credit card or PayPal. An 8% restocking fee will apply to returned orders paid via Afterpay.
When you gift a gemstone, you’ll choose your design credit from the dropdown menu. Design credits start at $500 and can be upgraded to suit your gift budget.
Credits are valid for 3 years from the date of purchase, for use towards a piece of jewellery made with the gemstone purchased.
If you choose a credit above the minimum value of $500, any remaining amount, after the credit has been applied to a piece of jewellery made with the purchased gemstone, will be re-issued as a voucher to your gift recipient.
The re-issued voucher is valid for any custom or ready-to-order piece. A re-issued voucher has the same expiry date as the original design credit, which is 3 years from the date of purchase of the gemstone.
Absolutely. When you reserve a gemstone, we’ll hold it for 3 years until you're ready to turn it into a one-of-a-kind piece.
You don’t need to have a design in mind. When the time is right, we’ll pick up the conversation and start crafting your bespoke piece together.
Reserving a gem is perfect if:
- You’ve fallen in love with a stone but aren’t ready to design just yet
- You want to lock it in before someone else snaps it up
- You’re planning ahead for a birthday, engagement or anniversary
When the time’s right, you’ll have the perfect stone waiting.
Technically, yes. However, these gemstones are offered with the intention that they’ll be part of a custom piece, now or in the future.
That said, there’s no lock-in. If you'd like the gem sent to you, choose the Gift option and select your custom design credit. The gem will be beautifully boxed and delivered, with no obligation for you to create a custom piece of jewellery.
If you choose to reserve a gem, we’ll hold it for up to 3 years, giving you time to create something when the moment’s right. Reserved gems don't come with custom design credits, nor are they sent to you.
Got questions? We're here to answer them now or anywhere along the journey.
We’re based in Rosebery, Sydney, at an appointment-only showroom. Book a consult to start the conversation about your dream gem or custom piece.
Yes we do! We've got you covered, no matter where you are.
Check the Shipping and Processing information in each gemstone listing for the most accurate delivery timeframes.
Once your gem is on the way, you’ll receive tracking details so you can follow its journey from our studio to your doorstep.
Gemstones are one-of-a-kind and first come, first served. If your gemstone is no longer available, we’ll do our best to source something just as beautiful for you. Because our gems are chosen for their incredibly individual characteristics, the replacement may not be the same as the original gem you fell in love with. Purchase your gem as soon as possible so you don't miss out.
If you have reserved a gemstone and decide not to move forward with a design, you can:
- Purchase a design credit and have the gemstone sent to you, or
- Request a store credit equal to the value of the gem
If you have any questions, we're here to answer them.
Designing custom jewellery
Pricing depends on a few factors, including your choice of gemstone(s), metal, design and any additional elements.
As a rough guide, designs typically start from $3,500, with most sitting between $5,000 and $20,000.
As part of your design journey, we’ll provide an accurate quote so you know exactly what you're investing in before you begin.
Book a consult to start the conversation.
Absolutely. Whether you know exactly what you want or have no idea where to start, we can guide you through the process step-by-step.
Book a complimentary consult and let’s find the perfect gem for your story.
Yes! In fact, most of the gems we use are sourced specifically for our customers.
The loose gemstones you see here are just a small glimpse of what’s possible. If you’re after something specific (or totally unexpected), we can source stones to match your vision, vibe or values (subject to availability), including:
- A particular gemstone size, shape or colour
- Something with meaning (like a birthstone or favourite hue)
- A gem with a story (unusual inclusions, colour change, wild patterns)
- A match for an heirloom piece or existing jewellery
- Ethically sourced options, including Australian sapphires and traceable stones
If you're not sure what you're looking for, that’s okay too. We’ll help you figure it out. Book a consult to chat about what’s possible.
The gemstones in our collection are natural (unless otherwise stated) and hand-selected for their character.
We do work with lab created diamonds and gemstones and can source them for custom designs.
Learn more about how lab created diamonds compare to mined diamonds (ethically, environmentally and aesthetically).
We sure do. We can source gemstones - including custom cuts - from both Australian and international gem cutters. Whether you’re after something specific or just want a stone that’s a little left of centre, we’ll help you find (or cut) the one that fits your story.
