One year ago, we opened the doors to our new showroom.
While the space itself is new, the story behind it stretches back 168 years. Since 1858, Fairfax & Roberts has been part of life’s most meaningful moments, creating exceptional jewellery, crafting bespoke pieces, and building a reputation founded on artistry, craftsmanship and trust.
As we celebrate the first anniversary of our showroom, we are reflecting on the journey that has shaped us, the people who continue to define us, and the future we are creating together.
THEN
The Fairfax & Roberts story began in Sydney in 1858 and has endured through generations of master jewellers, designers, gemmologists and artisans.
For more than a century and a half, we have created pieces that celebrate life’s most significant milestones. Every creation is a reflection of the expertise, dedication and craftsmanship that have long distinguished the Fairfax & Roberts name.
While styles and tastes have evolved, our commitment to exceptional quality and personal service has remained constant. The values that guided our founders continue to shape our business today: an unwavering pursuit of excellence, respect for traditional craftsmanship, and a belief that jewellery should be created to endure for generations.
NOW
Over the past year, our showroom has become a home for creativity, craftsmanship and connection.
We have welcomed clients into our world through intimate gatherings and collaborations, including celebrating International Women’s Day alongside Carla Zampatti and to hosting an intimate Mother’s Day soirée. Each occasion has reflected our belief that craftsmanship, artistry and meaningful relationships extend far beyond jewellery.
Yet the true story of this year has been told through the extraordinary pieces created within our workshop.
From bespoke commissions to one-of-a-kind masterpieces, our artisans have continued to push the boundaries of design and craftsmanship. Among them stands Aurora, a remarkable necklace centred around a rare sugarloaf emerald and brought to life through countless hours of design, gem sourcing and handcraftsmanship. Created as both a collector’s piece and a future heirloom, Aurora embodies the creativity, technical mastery and pursuit of excellence that define Fairfax & Roberts today.
Every piece we create today honours the generations that came before us while contributing to the next chapter of our story.

Looking ahead, we remain inspired by the world around us.
Throughout our history, Fairfax & Roberts has drawn influence from art, architecture, culture, science and innovation. We believe some of the most compelling ideas emerge when exceptional craftsmanship intersects with unexpected disciplines.
That spirit continues to guide us today. A recent example can be found in our Einstein collection, inspired by the groundbreaking discovery of the Einstein Pattern. As the first jewellery designs to interpret and bring this mathematical phenomenon to life, the collection transformed a complex scientific concept into wearable art, demonstrating how curiosity, creativity and craftsmanship can combine to create something entirely new.

As we look to the future, we remain committed to honouring traditional techniques while embracing new ideas, technologies and sources of inspiration. We will continue to seek out extraordinary gemstones, create exceptional jewellery, foster meaningful collaborations and evolve with the changing world around us.
Because evolution has always been part of our story.
For 168 years, Fairfax & Roberts has looked forward while respecting the foundations on which it was built. The next chapter will be no different.
THEN. NOW. NEXT.
Honouring where we’ve come from.
Celebrating where we are today.
And looking ahead to the moments still to come.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
