Sleek, shiny, and utterly covetable; these slices and chunks of gold and silver by London-based designer Jacqueline Rabun are serious investment stuff.

From the avant-garde and futuristic (like a caged crystal bangle) to the incredibly smooth and minimal (see the solid silver baby rattle for proof) Rabun has a medatative approach to personal adornments, crafting pieces to treasure forever.

Her grey walled Belgravia store (an ex-stable) also has a peaceful museum-like feel, with curated selections of her designs laid out amid delicate antiques and highlighted with soft spotlighting.

Manic Christmas shopping this isn't, but you can bet the gift you give will be most gratefully received.
