Internationally acclaimed artist and designer Benjamin Shine’s, distinctive pieces sit harmoniously alongside our own one-of-a-kind jewels in a beautiful partnership of artistic direction.

Coloured gemstones are experiencing a remarkable rise in popularity in 2025, transforming the way clients think about fine jewellery, personal expression and long-term value. From shifting consumer preferences to growing investment interest, several powerful forces are placing these vibrant jewels firmly in the spotlight.

Mathematics and fine jewellery rarely share the same stage, yet some of history’s most captivating art forms are grounded in geometry, symmetry, and pattern. Tessellations are a perfect example: repeating shapes that fit together seamlessly, seen in architecture, ceramics, mosaics and increasingly, in contemporary jewellery.

This festive season marks a meaningful milestone for Fairfax & Roberts as we unveil our first Holiday Collection from our new showroom. Thoughtfully designed and expertly crafted, each piece reflects our enduring heritage and the next chapter of our story. Explore a curated selection of rare gemstones, bespoke creations and timeless treasures—each one designed to be a gift with lasting meaning.
