Jacqueline Rabun Reimagines Cave Collection with Inverted Design and Spiritual Focus

Jacqueline Rabun, the American jewellery designer known for sculptural, sophisticated pieces, has launched Cave, a reinterpretation of her 2002 collection originally released with Georg Jensen. After years in London, Rabun now lives and works in Los Angeles, where her practice has expanded with a retrospective at Carpenter’s Workshop Gallery and high-jewellery commissions. The original Cave, inspired by her yoga and meditation practice, featured a ring, pendant, and earrings in silver with oxidized interiors and polished exteriors, later in gold with pavé diamonds. In the new iteration, Rabun inverts the design: interiors are polished and exteriors matte, symbolizing inner light shining outward. The collection includes the Charm ring, Cave round-drop pendant referencing ancient priestly pectorals, and Cave torque. Rabun’s travels to Nigeria, Ghana, and Senegal have influenced her, emphasizing jewellery’s talismanic and cultural roles. She views her work as both artistic and accessible, drawing on personal biography. Previous collections include Offspring and Black Love. The new Cave prompts wearers to seek their highest selves. Rabun continues to champion collectible, transformative jewellery.
