Sumer Sayan, co-founder of Harlin Jones custom jewellery designers

Harlin Jones is a unique jewellery brand founded by Australian designer Sumer Sayan, renowned for crafting exquisite bespoke pieces. Sumer's journey began with an internship in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1998, where he honed his skills under master jewellers. This foundational experience led him to complete a four-year jewellery design apprenticeship upon returning to Sydney, igniting his passion for innovative design and craftsmanship.

Sumer draws inspiration from various artistic influences, including graffiti art from his youth, the vibrant 80s New York art scene, and intricate architectural designs from around the globe. His diverse interests encompass ancient cultures and the music of the 60s and 70s, all of which contribute to his eclectic style.

In 2014, Sumer launched Harlin Jones, embracing his creative vision. Following a successful period in New York City, he returned to Sydney, where the studio focuses on concierge custom appointments, specialising in one-of-a-kind engagement rings and unique custom jobs. Sumer crafts every piece in our studio, ensuring that each creation embodies his mastery and understanding of jewellery-making, designed to last a lifetime.

In addition to bespoke items, Harlin Jones offers a ready-to-wear collection available in the studio and online. This collection features one-off and limited edition pieces that showcase a unique and edgy style, perfect for those seeking something truly special. With an innovative mix of styles and inspirations, Harlin Jones pieces are exceptional in their design and craftsmanship.

Sumer's work has garnered attention in esteemed publications including Vogue, The New York Times, Financial Times, Vanity Fair, Forbes, Harper's Bazaar, JCK, Russh, and Marie Claire. He has been commissioned to create unique pieces for some of Australia's biggest entrepreneurs and figures on the Fortune 500 list, as well as for celebrities such as Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. Additionally, ready-to-wear pieces from Harlin Jones have been loaned for countless celebrity events and photoshoots, showcasing the distinct artistry and appeal of Harlin Jones jewellery.
