Australian sapphire platinum rose gold leaf ring

A Sydney jewellery designer who breaks all the rules

Hi, I'm Fairina.

You’re here because you’re sick of seeing the same old jewellery on department store shelves. Because you aren’t satisfied with stock-standard, mass-market accessories. And because you recognise that the world is lacking bold, story-worthy jewellery.

I’m here to create striking designs for fiercely independent individuals who don’t care about other people’s “perfect”.

It’s lovely to meet you.

In jewellery – just as in life – there are no rules. I'm passionate about bold keepsakes and unconventional jewels that are completely your own.

YOU DON'T WEAR MUCH JEWELLERY

You love jewellery and own a few sentimental keepsakes. But haven't found a piece that truly tells your story - till now.

"TRADITIONAL" DOESN'T SPEAK TO YOU

The jewellery you see in movies and shop windows makes you feel uninspired, unheard and unrepresented.

YOU WANT SOMETHING SPECIAL

You’re searching for a piece of storyworthy jewellery that couldn’t have been made for anyone else but you.

Jewellery is about more than diamond size and dollars

I love working with rule breakers and story makers: those who forge their own path and aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo.

You’ll never hear me say that a piece of jewellery has to look a certain way or has to feature a diamond.

This jewellery is for you if you cringe at the thought of stepping into a high street jewellery store, if your eyes glaze over at the mention of the “4 C’s of diamonds” and if you want an authentic, meaningful piece that truly captures who you are.

Growing up, I never really liked jewellery

The jewellery that I saw in shops, and the rules I heard about engagement rings made me cringe. You know the ones:

  • That an engagement ring always has to have a diamond
  • That a bigger stone is always better
  • That it should cost the proposer (generally assumed to be a man in a heterosexual relationship) three months’ salary

None of it felt right. And to be honest, fancy jewellery stores intimidated me. So I created something different.

Sound up your alley? Let’s chat.

"We wanted to do something really special, and with a little help from Fairina, we managed to create the best birthday celebration our mother could imagine."

"She absolutely adores her new ring, and she is already thinking about getting matching pieces. I strongly recommend Fairina to others considering one of a kind jewellery. The service is impeccable and you get to be a part of the design process – not that you need to, Fairina manages excellent on her own."

Ane Bakken-Simso, Norway

"I LOVE THIS RING, like I am obsessed. I cannot stop looking at it."

"It’s the most beautiful thing I’ll ever own and is by far the most special and sentimental. The stones underneath have made everyone cry when we tell them what they mean and why. This is everything I didn’t realise an engagement ring stood for: a visual symbol of our everlasting love and hopes and dreams for our future together."

Kelly and Chrissie engagement ring review

Chrissie Bernasconi, Brisbane

"Our rings are beautiful and quirky and everything we wanted."

"We were really keen to have rings that were intensely individual and unusual. Working with Fairina for our custom engagement rings was amazing. She helped us to visualize our (very wafty) ideas and kept us in the loop the whole way."

Jacinta Kelly's engagement ring testimonial

Jacinta Kelly, Sydney

"I had so much fun imagining and brainstorming jewellery with Fairina."

"Finding a jeweller and a designer can be intimidating. She is creative, honest and generous with her knowledge of jewellery design and making. I can’t recommend her enough to help you with your special piece. My ring design was sentimental and personal and turned out perfectly. High quality, wonderful design and stunning quality."
