John Miller Design Broome

Bringing it back to Broome! For the first time since 1984, artist-jeweller John Miller returns with his iconic display of Broome inspired jewellery incorporating iconic land & seascapes of the North.

John Miller is regarded as one of Australia’s leading and most original and creative designers of fine jewellery. He specialises in hand-worked, bespoke sterling silver and gold pieces inspired by native flora, fauna and the elements. He opened Broome’s first jewellery shop in 1979, Dampier’s Chest, inspired by the icons of the Kimberley - luggers, pearls and shellfish, seashells, divers and mermaids and was the town’s first resident jeweller . After 25 years living and working in Yallingup in the Southwest, he returns to Broome with an exhibition of his work at Redbill Studio Gallery from end of June through July.

Mr. Miller’s family history also runs deep in the Kimberley region. His mother was best-selling author and historian Dame Mary Durack and his dad was Horrie Miller, pioneering aviator and director of MacRobertson Miller Airlines. MMA was WA’s only commercial air service from 1927 to1993, with Horrie based in Broome as regional director.

40 years on from his last exhibition and into his 50th year of making his unique Australian handcrafted jewellery John is bringing his jewellery back to Broome.
