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 engagement ring 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 engagement ring design until every detail feels just right.
Step 3: Create
This is where your engagement ring 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.
Shop curated gems and ready-to-wear engagement rings

What our Sydney engagement ring lovers say
"I was determined to find a local Sydney jeweller...It was so special to see the ring transform."
"Without a doubt, Fairina is the most talented, creative...and patient jeweller I have ever met! It was so special to see the ring transform and to get an understanding of the huge amount of work involved in creating it. And the finished product - ABSOLUTELY stunning!! In fact, words can't really do justice to how excited I felt when I saw the finished ring for the first time, because I was so in love with it."
Amy Burton (St Peters, Sydney)
"Thoughtful from start to finish, Fairina incorporated our family heirlooms into rings that felt deeply personal."
"Fairina was so thoughtful at every step of the process, she took the time to know us and work with us in designing the perfect engagement rings. Rings that incorporated some of our family heirlooms and new pieces she found that matched us perfectly!"
Mary-Ellen Pegley (Marrickville, Sydney)
"With Fairina’s help, our rings became unique and meaningful, beautifully tied together yet distinctly ours."
"We had a very vague idea of what we wanted, but with Fairina's help, she made us very individualistic rings, that had key elements that bind them together. Not only did the rings turn out GORGEOUS, but the process of fine-tuning the design and choosing the stones made them oh so personal – it’s precious! We highly recommend Fairina if you are looking for a truly personal piece of gorgeous jewellery."
Nicolena Lim (Rockdale, Sydney)
"Fairina guided me to the perfect ring, making the process effortless."
"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 (Darlinghurst, Sydney)

Frequently asked questions
Custom design process
Expect a consult that feels less like a transaction and more like a conversation.
A Fairina Cheng consult is a relaxed, one-on-one session where we dive into your story, explore gemstones and bring your vision to life. By the end of the hour, you’ll walk away with a solid direction for your engagement ring - even if you came in with no clue where to begin.
We keep things stress-free, welcoming and human. Because jewellery should feel personal, not prescriptive.
Book an online consult or book an appointment at the Sydney Showroom in Rosebery.
All visits are by appointment only. This ensures every customer gets the time, space and undivided attention they deserve.
If you’d like to explore gems, chat design ideas or see what’s possible for your custom piece, book an online consult or schedule your visit to the Sydney Showroom in Rosebery.
Absolutely. If you’re not in Sydney (or just prefer to chat from the comfort of your couch) we offer virtual consults via Zoom.
We’ll walk through your ideas, explore gemstones together and take you through the process step-by-step, no matter where you are in the world.
Book your virtual consult and let’s start designing.
Absolutely. Custom is what we do best!
We specialise in engagement and wedding rings that are anything but ordinary. Forget cookie cutter settings and stock standard styles. Each custom piece is designed from scratch around your story, your style and your values.
Book a design consult to turn your ideas into a piece that feels like you.
We sure can. In fact, some of our favourite pieces have lived prior lives before finding their new form.
Whether it's your grandmother’s diamond or an old ring that’s not quite your style, it deserves better than a lifetime in a drawer.
Remodelling is a thoughtful process that respects the story behind your piece, while transforming it into something that feels unmistakably you (with a whole lot of meaning baked in).
Breathe new life into your heirloom jewellery in a custom design consult.
Custom pieces typically start from $3,500 AUD and range to $20,000 AUD and up. Final pricing depends on your design, choice of materials and any gemstones we use.
Here’s what the custom design journey includes:
- An experience that’s as memorable as the piece itself
- Ethical sourcing, transparent guidance and expert craftspersonship
- A piece of jewellery that actually feels like you
We can either start with a budget in mind, or quote on your dream jewellery and refine if necessary.
Not sure what your budget can get you? Get in touch for a personalised estimate.
A custom project has two phases - design and making.
The design phase can take an hour to a few weeks, depending on the design and any gemstones we're sourcing.
Once your design is confirmed with a deposit, the making phase begins. You get updates along the way and most pieces are completed within eight weeks.
If you have a proposal, celebration or flight to catch, let us know early. We'll always do our best to make it happen.
Book an online consult or book an appointment at the Sydney Showroom in Rosebery.
We have a small selection of jewellery and gemstones available to view. However we don’t operate like a traditional jewellery store with cabinets full of ready-made pieces. Our consults focus predominantly on the custom design experience.
At a custom jewellery consult, you’ll view a curated selection of unique gemstones, see past designs and watch your ideas come to life through live sketching and storytelling.
It's fun, stress-free and by the end of the hour, you should have a clear idea of the direction of your piece.
Book an online consult or schedule your visit to the Sydney Showroom.
In some cases, yes! We can bring in gemstones for you to view with no obligation to purchase. A shipping fee may apply for certain gemstones, but we’ll always ensure you approve of any costs upfront.
Some gems may not be viewable in person before purchase. In these cases, we’ll provide detailed photos and videos to help you make an informed decision.
Book online or in person to chat about the options.

At Fairina Cheng, we believe in breaking the rules of traditional engagement ring design. Our pieces are unapologetically bold and intensely personal, crafted for those who value the story behind great design.
This is not your typical shopping mall jewellery. From custom made wedding and engagement rings to bespoke jewellery keepsakes, we guide you through every step of the design journey in a refreshingly different way. The result is high quality, locally made, ethically crafted jewellery with a distinctive twist.
Most importantly, we love celebrating love. Whether it’s a surprise engagement, a micro wedding, an elopement or lost love, we work with all-round amazing humans to create rule breaking, storyworthy jewellery.
If this sounds up your alley, we'd love to chat. Book a chat online or in person.

Book online or in person to start the conversation.
We don’t work with everyone - and that’s a good thing. Because the best jewellery stories start with the right connection. When our values align, the whole process becomes more meaningful, collaborative and fun.
We design for rule breakers, story makers and couples in love.
We might be perfect for each other if you value ethically sourced gemstones, creative design and an experience that’s collaborative, quirky and unapologetically different to one you'll find in a traditional jewellery store.
We proudly welcome LGBTQIA+ and non-binary couples. Honestly, it shouldn’t even need to be said. But in an industry still clinging to outdated traditions, we think it’s worth stating loud and proud.
