One of the incredible joys of life is celebrating milestones and important events. Weddings, anniversaries and birthdays...we all leap to honour them in our own special ways. They are such magical times, filled with love, laughter and those you care about the most.
The question is, why do we reserve celebrations for only the big events? Sure, they are absolutely worthy of it. But does that mean you can’t enjoy the smaller events in life? Of course not!
At Gerard McCabe, we believe that a great many of life’s events deserve cheer and praise. In 30 years as Adelaide's premier diamond jewellers, we have been a part of our fair share of celebrations.
“It’s important to mark those certain special times in our lives.” - Cassandra, Gerard McCabe
Here are some of our favourite smaller, but just as momentous, occasions to celebrate.
GETTING A NEW JOB OR PROMOTION
Being awarded a promotion or finally getting your dream job are big occasions - ones that have the potential to make significant impacts on your life. People spend most of their adult life in the workforce, so why not take the opportunity to celebrate it?
A diamond pendant is a perfect way to commemorate such an event. Stylish, dainty and expertly crafted, it is the ideal addition to a professional wardrobe and can be worn proudly every day.
GRADUATIONS
University and high school graduations are a positively giant occasion in a person’s life. After all, you spend 12 years in school, and years in University as well. When they come to an end and you are awarded your diplomas and degrees, it marks the end of one stage of your life and the beginning of another.
This occasion calls for a gift (or treat for yourself) that can be cherished forever, a constant reminder of what you have accomplished.
What better way to do that than with Bloom diamond earrings? With its delicate heart-shaped accents, the diamonds are perfectly set so that more light is able to pass into the gem and achieve the perfect sparkle.
BUYING A NEW - OR YOUR FIRST - HOME
Be it your first home or your dream retirement villa, buying a new home is an experience like no other. Finally, you have a place that’s completely yours, one that you and your family can create everlasting memories in.
As you pop the champagne, immortalise this moment with a Linea ring from Gerard McCabe's Classics collection. Made from glowing 18ct white and yellow gold, these classically designed rings are encrusted with brilliant white diamonds, an eternal reminder of this wonderful time in your life.

THE BIRTH OF A CHILD
When it comes to moments that you’ll never forget, it’s hard to top the birth of a child. And, as a new life enters this world, it’s a beautiful opportunity to reflect and celebrate the achievement of the mother.
A 9-month journey has just finished, making way for a life-long joy.
Capturing the connection between mother and child is this gorgeous Luminosity Embrace South Sea Pearl & Diamond Pendant. The adjoining design of the leaves signifies the bond between them, making it not only a thoughtful gift for the mother but an elegant piece that can one day be handed down from mother to child.

RETIREMENT
After years of hard work and commitment, the decision to retire can be a difficult time in someone’s life. They have spent decades dedicated to their careers, however, the time has now come to down tools and relax. For some, the shift in the norm can be challenging to come to terms with.
It’s important that this occasion is supported and promoted by friends and family because though one chapter of their lives is ending, a new one is beginning.
Whether you want to show your loved one how proud you are of them, or want to get a special gift for yourself, this bracelet from our Classics Collection is sure to please.
With delicate strands of 18ct gold and superb white diamonds, this Adelaide jewellery piece is an ideal gift for the newly retired. Dazzling yet subtle, it can be worn with anything, a constant reminder of all that has been achieved and the joys yet to come.
At Gerard McCabe, we encourage everyone to celebrate the joys of life, no matter how small they are. As premier Adelaide jewellers and Adelaide diamond experts, we can help you to find jewellery pieces that will help you to signify the joyous gravity of these events.
