Harlequin Market - Our Story

Welcome to Harlequin Market, an eclectic treasure chest where the past and present beautifully converge.

With over 30 years of experience, Bruna Harrison specializes in sourcing rare and collectible high-end costume jewelry. Each piece is personally curated by Bruna from around the globe, selected for its beauty, history, and uniqueness. Our collection includes vintage signed pieces from renowned names such as Lea Stein, Chanel, Monet, and Trifari, many of which are one-of-a-kind.

Through extensive research into Europe’s great design houses, Bruna has established a partnership with a renowned atelier known for handcrafted pate-de-verre jewelry (hand-poured molten glass). The artisan behind these exceptional pieces honed his craft for 45 years under the house of Gripoix, creators of exquisite jewels for iconic couture houses like Chanel, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Hubert de Givenchy, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Balmain, Jean Paul Gaultier, Lanvin, Christian Lacroix, and Marc Jacobs. By sourcing original pieces from these houses, Bruna aims to preserve the legacy of vintage costume jewelry while introducing new contemporary lines.

In addition to original early Bakelite, galalith, lucite, and celluloid collectibles, Harlequin Market proudly produces handmade crystal pieces designed by Bruna herself in our Sydney studio. These stunning designs feature Austrian, Czech, and vintage crystals. Our Double Bay store also offers a carefully curated selection of vintage bags and accessories from Chanel, Hermes, and Gucci, sourced meticulously from Europe.

Bruna and the Harlequin Market team warmly invite you to visit our boutique to experience the beauty of these pieces in person. Enjoy trying them on and reveling in the joy of discovery! We have recently relaunched our online store, showcasing our complete range of jewelry and accessories.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any inquiries. We look forward to sharing the stories behind our cherished jewels and exciting new contemporary lines.

A NOTE FROM BRUNA

 "Hello to all of you who know us and for those of you embarking on our journey of discovery for the first time.
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our Harlequin Market/HQM world of unique jewels.
For over 10 years I have been sourcing for our small boutique first in Paddington and now in our more recent location in Double Bay. Our reputation has been well documented over the years; our unique jewels regularly featured in top publications such as Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Instyle and Marie Claire, to mention a few, and seen on many celebrities and high profile people.
For all of this I am humbled and thankful.
However, the thing that gives me the greatest pleasure is sourcing and finding those ‘special’ pieces for you, our loyal clients, and the fun we have when you visit our store. To all of you we say thanks"
