Alexandra founder of Queenie's Bazaar Vintage Jewellery

Hi, I’m Alexandra, the founder of Queenie’s Bazaar. My love of vintage jewellery began at a young age while helping in the family antiques business, and that passion eventually led me to create Queenie’s Bazaar in 2010, I’ve been sourcing pieces for collectors ever since.

Some of my favourite moments have included supplying jewellery to theatre and film studios and being chosen as a winner of the Theo Paphitis Small Business Sunday Award. I have a particular fondness for pieces by Sarah Coventry and Exquisite.

I love sharing vintage finds and jewellery history through the Queenie’s Bazaar blog, and I’m always happy to chat about jewellery, so please feel free to reach out any time.
