  • SPARK Women in Business Grants Round Seven $5k Winner

    Congratulations to Fairina Cheng, Fairina Cheng Jewellery Founder and winner of the Round Seven $5k Women in Business grant. 


    I am a Sydney jeweller who creates bold, story-driven designs for those who say no to "engagement ring rules". Where big brands push tradition and flashy diamonds, I design pieces for rule-breakers and story-makers that celebrate their individuality. Using ethically-sourced, personality-filled gemstones, I aim to reshape the Australian jewellery industry by celebrating what makes your love story special. The Spark Grant will make it possible to amplify this vision, empowering more people to design jewellery that speaks to their values around individuality, sustainability and love. 


    Round Eight opens on 1st May 2025: https://sparkbusiness.global/spark-women-in-business-grants
