There’s a moment each year when the festive season suddenly feels so much closer. Christmas lights go up, shelves start filling with chocolate collections, and conversations inevitably turn to gifting. For those considering something truly special this year, now is the time to begin. For the past few weeks, we’ve discussed our bespoke creations and limited-run luxury pieces, which take time, care and a steady hand. At Grant Macdonald London, the process is never rushed - and that applies to our perennial pieces, too. Discover our curated collections, celebrating British silversmithing at its finest.
Silver is our speciality, but we’ve never neglected her cousin. Warm and timeless, gold has long been associated with Christmas. Across our Gentlemen’s Accessories, Gifting and Homeware collections, you’ll find pieces that pair sterling silver with 24ct gold plate, to beautiful effect.
Luangwa Lion Cufflinks for Tusk
For a gentleman who values craftsmanship with purpose, the Luangwa Lion Cufflinks are a meaningful choice. Named after the Zambian region where lions are under acute threat from poaching, these cufflinks support the vital work being orchestrated by Tusk. The charity’s patron, HRH The Prince of Wales, champions conservation across Africa, and has helped Tusk fund anti-poaching and community programmes for more than twenty-five years.
Each pair is made from solid sterling silver, finished with finely chased details that bring the lions to life despite their miniature form. Hallmarked in London, these cufflinks aren’t just exquisite in form - they carry a legacy of protection. 20% from every sale goes directly to Tusk, helping safeguard one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich regions.
Keyring in Gold Plated Silver
Often, it’s the most understated gifts that become the most cherished - and our gold plated silver keyring is a perfect example. Designed using state-of-the-art technology that allows for more ornate and intricate forms than would have been possible a decade ago, this elegant sphere offers a satisfying weight in the hand. Crafted in sterling silver, and finished in 24ct yellow gold plate (but also available in silver or rose gold plate), it’s the perfect gift for those who appreciate simplicity, refined to its most polished form.
This is a cut above the usual stocking stuffer - and makes a thoughtful token for a special occasion - beautifully made and discreetly luxurious, it’s the result of taking an everyday item and turning it into something personal and enduring.
Pair of Silver Paragon Candlesticks.
For a gift that transforms a room, the Paragon Candlesticks are hard to rival. Hand-made in our London workshop, each pair blends classic proportions with a modern silhouette. The sterling silver forms - again, so intricate that they wouldn’t have been possible without the help of our cutting-edge technology - are accented with 24ct gold plate, designed to catch light.
Whether you’re selecting from our collections or commissioning a bespoke creation, early planning is essential. Our workshop dedicates time to every detail, ensuring each piece meets the standard that has defined Grant Macdonald London for more than fifty years. If gold is on your mind for Christmas, now is the perfect moment to begin. We’d be delighted to guide you toward the right piece or explore a bespoke idea shaped entirely for you.
