Broome Opened 27 June 2026

Broome's original jeweller, back after 47 years

John Miller was Broome's first resident jeweller back in 1979, when a standalone jewellery shop in a pearling town raised eyebrows. He shut it down decades ago and walked away. In June 2026 he brought the name back to a small space on Carnarvon Street in Chinatown.

Inside you'll find his own designs alongside loose pearls, the same trade he started nearly fifty years ago. It's one room, no showroom gloss, closer to a working studio than a shop.
