On Friday the 23rd of February, the team at Gerard McCabe was proud to present the Festival of Sapphires: a one-day-only exclusive shopping experience that showcased one of the largest offerings of sapphires Adelaide has ever seen!

Our Rundle Mall Plaza boutique was transformed into a paradise, filled to the brim with sapphire jewellery. As an ode to the beautiful colours of Australian sapphires, our boutique was decorated with a balloon garland and floral arrangement in brilliant shades of blue, green and yellow. Guests enjoyed delicious sapphire-coloured macarons from Just Bliss and Chateau Yaldara sparkling wine as they tried on jewellery and marvelled at the largest collection of sapphires under the one roof in Adelaide.

Amongst an extended offering of ready-to-wear Sapphire Dreams jewellery, our Rundle Mall Plaza boutique also showcased several prestige designs, Ceylon sapphire pieces and a collection of incredible loose sapphires in practically every colour of the rainbow. Attendees were spoilt with sapphires for choice, whether they were searching for a diamond alternative for an engagement ring, a unique gemstone for a bespoke design or the perfect gift for a milestone anniversary,

Upon arrival, pre-booked guests were granted an entry into a draw to win a pair of beautiful Sapphire Dreams Toi Et Moi Earrings valued at $1,250 RRP (T&C’s apply). As the event drew to a close, the lucky winner was drawn at random and contacted directly to receive their prize. 

From the whole team at Gerard McCabe, we feel incredibly honoured to have been able to share our love for these extraordinary gems with everyone who came along to our Festival of Sapphires. If you were unable to make it this time, rest assured this event is the first of many more yet to come! For future sapphire events, keep an eye out on our website and socials!

As always, our range of ready-to-wear sapphire designs are available to view both online and in-store.
