Standing highly
out
is
As spring begins, it’s time to put the coats away and
get the jewellery out to play. And what better way than
with contemporary statement pieces by Sydney-based
jeweller, Fairina Cheng.
Fairina’s modern designs are created for the girl who
prides herself on being a little bit different. Traditional
materials combine with contemporary processes
to produce fashion-forward jewellery that crosses
boundaries and defies expectations.

Each piece is created with the
attitude that in jewellery – just
as in life – there are no rules.
“I have always felt a certain
affinity to things
that
appear one way but are
actually another,” Fairina
says. “It appeals to the part
of me that secretly (or not so
secretly) enjoys challenging
assumptions. Standing out is
highly recommended.”
Each and every piece that
leaves the studio is made by
Fairina herself. Her signature
Negative/Positive collection
features
statement
silver
bracelets, earrings, pendants
and rings created using
3D-modelling
technologies.
Designs are drawn on a
computer, brought to life on a
3D printer and cast in molten
silver.
Other
collections
subtly
subvert
the
expectations
of conventional jewellery.
Gemstones are angled, bezels
are offset and key features are
hidden until closer inspection.
The result is striking, high
quality jewellery with a
distinctly unique aesthetic.
Fairina has recently launched
a brand new website and
online store, bringing her
unique designs to collectors
all over the world. Shop at
