Lonely Planet review for Patrick Mavros
At the end of Haslemere Lane, 1km off the Umwinsedale Rd, is this place; it is signposted. It's set atop a spectacular hill, overlooking a picture-perfect valley complete with giraffes and buffalo - a visit is a must. The studio and gallery sells designer silverware from jewellery to tableware and whimsical paperweights (collector items or presents for the person who has everything). Mavros's signature style in his jewellery is the ndoro shell, the original currency of Zimbabwe. He also has a shop in Knightsbridge, London, though this one is cheaper!

Silver jewellery & sculptures African-style at its finest!
gypseegirl recommends this,
Patrick Mavros' workshops out in Umwinsidale, some 20 mins out of Harare, are laid into a breath-takingly beautiful African bush valley and will surprise you as a real treasure trove when it comes to silver jewellery and sculptures which are beautiful in detail and a little take-away piece of African spirit.
Take your camera with - and your credit card, you'll need it both!
The pieces are quite pricy, however not as expensive as in Patrick's London shop, but he has developped Mavros pieces to an internationally known brand that even Juan Carlos of Spain buys.
Try your luck and ask the staff whether Patrick is around to give you a personal tour or to share some of his amazing bush stories with you!Good for: majestic scenery, unique silver jewellery, silver tableware, wedding lists
