Patrick Mavros

Top choice in Harare


His clients may include Bruce Springsteen, Kate Middleton and the king of Spain, but Patrick Mavros' stunning handmade silver jewellery is very affordable. The shop has a spectacular setting, overlooking a picture-perfect valley with wildlife. All silver is from Zimbabwe and you can arrange a behind-the-scenes tour in the workshop.

It's very much a family business, with Patrick running the place with his sons. They also have a shop in Chelsea, London, but prices are cheaper here, plus 10% of proceeds goes to charity. To get here, follow the signpost to the studio and gallery at the end of Haslemere Lane, 1km off Umwinsidale Rd.
