We had the honour of being part of the beautiful wedding of Chad Cross and Gabi Sallivan. Their special day unfolded at a stunning private estate in the Swan Valley, a location blending Italian Renaissance Revival and Neoclassical architecture. Surrounded by natural beauty, this elegant venue perfectly framed the couple’s love story, creating a romantic and luxurious atmosphere as they exchanged vows.
Chad and Gabi radiated timeless elegance, their presence enhancing the breathtaking surroundings. The groom, Chad, wore a classic, custom-made Oscar Hunt black tuxedo with a crisp bow tie, while the bride, Gabi, dazzled in a sleek Vivienne Westwood gown. The gown, featuring a stunning off-the-shoulder neckline and a gently flowing veil, wrapped her in delicate beauty. Together, they embodied the essence of modern romance and refined style.
Their love was celebrated in a beautifully classic and elegant way, surrounded by cherished friends and family, enveloped in the soft whispers of love and the promise of eternity.

Our Role in Their Special Day
At Peppermint Grove Jewellers, we take great pride in crafting timeless pieces that celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. It was an honour to create the groom’s custom wedding band and the bride’s bespoke earrings, each designed with care to reflect their personal styles and the love they share.
The Groom’s Custom Wedding Band
We designed a custom wedding band for Chad that embodied sophistication and strength. This bespoke piece blended modern aesthetics with timeless charm to symbolise his commitment. The band is an 18kt yellow gold signet ring featuring a square face, set with two asscher-cut stones: a ruby and an amethyst, representing Chad and Gabi’s birthstones. The engraved parallel lines down the sides added a distinctive touch, highlighting the modern elegance of the design.
The Bride’s Custom Wedding Earrings For Gabi’s wedding day, we had the privilege of crafting a few pairs of bespoke earrings that would beautifully complement her timeless gown. She envisioned a classic yet elegant design, and we brought that vision to life with a pair of drop earrings featuring pearls, each adorned with a brilliant round diamond for a touch of sophistication. To enhance the overall look, we designed matching diamond hoops featuring a delicate arrangement of tapered diamonds that created a graceful, descending effect. These pieces were designed to sit perfectly on Gabi’s earlobes. When worn together, they formed a stunning stack that radiated elegance and effortlessly captured the essence of her special day.
Our Jeweller’s Process
Chad's Vision
When Chad approached me to create his wedding band, it was clear he wanted something truly personal and unique—far from traditional designs. We collaborated closely, sketching ideas and discussing elements that would reflect his style and the love he shares with Gabi.
Chad was particularly drawn to the idea of a signet ring with a sunken stone, inspired by reference images he provided. We decided to incorporate their birthstones into the design, choosing asscher-cut stones for their modern elegance. Chad envisioned the ring as a bold statement piece, so I crafted it with wide borders and substantial weight, ensuring it felt significant. Subtle feature lines were added to accentuate the birthstones, drawing attention to the heart of the design.
It was a privilege to bring Chad’s vision to life and create a piece that not only symbolised his commitment to Gabi but also celebrated their unique bond.
Gabi’s Vision
When Gabi shared her vision for her wedding earrings, I knew I had the opportunity to craft something truly special for her big day. She envisioned a look that was both timeless and elegant, with pearls and diamonds as the centerpiece.
To bring her dream to life, I designed a pair of exquisite drop earrings featuring luminous pearls, each crowned with a brilliant round diamond for added sophistication. To complement the earrings, I created diamond hoops with a delicate arrangement of tapered diamonds that descended gracefully, designed to sit snugly on Gabi’s earlobes. When paired together, the earrings formed a stunning stack that radiated effortless beauty.
It was an honor to design pieces that became part of such a meaningful moment, capturing the elegance and joy of Gabi’s wedding day. These exclusive pieces added the perfect touch of sparkle and grace, enhancing her natural beauty and creating an unforgettable look on her special day.
