Each piece is reminiscent of a time of great happiness, allowing you to look back in fondness. For many, starting a jewellery collection can be daunting.  Our team at Gerard McCabe provide some useful tips and tricks as you start collecting these precious pieces. --- At Gerard McCabe we don’t have a particular collection that suits everyday needs, as it relies on an individual's preference. Our range leaves you spoilt for choice with what you find most appealing. Gerard McCabe takes care in the design and thought that goes into each and every piece, spending years determining the size, look and feel of the jewellery in the eyes of the wearer. We had a chat with Belinda from our [Adelaide Arcade boutique](https://www.gerardmccabe.com.au/store-locator/), and she shared a few designs that express beauty and pair together stunningly.) When working with customers, our team usually discuss colour preferences, personal style and current jewellery in their collection. We suggest including an [engagement ring](https://www.gerardmccabe.com.au/engagement-rings/), [wedding band](https://www.gerardmccabe.com.au/wedding-ring-collection/), [a watch](https://www.gerardmccabe.com.au/watches/), and a [necklace or pendant](https://www.gerardmccabe.com.au/jewellery/?product-category=necklet,pendants).

The [Celeste Engagement Ring](https://www.gerardmccabe.com.au/collection/celeste/) holds an exquisite diamond that provides a youthful look, making it the perfect start to her collection. It has long been believed that the vein in the left finger runs to the heart, and as the diamond within the Celeste touches the skin, it's all connected. This symbolises a personal connection from the diamond of a loved one, to the heart of the receiver.  --- Building a collection means not shying away from stacking different golds and gemstones, it's about gradually building up with pieces of variety and individual personality.
