Rock Star Jewellers

Talented jewellery designer John Miller has been making stunning, original pieces in WA since 1973. He started off working in Cottesloe when silver jewellery was hot property and has continued in the field pretty much ever since; forging a successful acting and singing career in his spare time.

John has a studio in Yallingup where he works with the finest metals and gemstones available and is renowned for his hand-carved sterling silver and gold pieces which depict parts of the local landscape including vineyards, ocean and wildlife. He has also recently opened a shop in Margaret River.

There’s something to be said for changing locations and therefore changing your perspective.

Which is exactly what award-winning jeweller Barrie Lander did when he relocated his family from Broome to Busselton a decade ago. Barrie has more than 30 years of experience in the industry and says he is as inspired by the beautiful coastline and tranquil waters of Geographe Bay that he now calls home as he was the dramatic landscapes and wildness of WA’s North West.

“I moved to Busselton in 2006, from the Pearling town of Broome where I was very inspired by the more irregular shape of the Keshi pearls,” Barrie says. “The heart of the Kimberley reflects those beautiful mauve hues as the sun sets on Cable Beach, but in the South West we have the turquoise waters of Geographe Bay. “They are both stunning natural landscapes I’ve been lucky to call home.”

Barrie is a master jeweller who transforms gold and silver into stunning pieces that will become cherished family heirlooms. He was a finalist in the 2015 Jeweller’s Association of Australia (JAA) competition, hand-crafting an exquisite Argyle diamond and pearl pendant.

Fusion Jewellers stock an extensive range of white and yellow gold pieces including rings and necklaces, sterling silver and custom pieces made to order. They can also re-model old treasures if you have a piece that’s been sitting in your jewellery box, unloved for way too long.

Nina’s ethos is pretty simple. They want to make pieces for their customers that will quite simply take their breath away. And they want their customers to feel like part of the family.

Owner Steve Turner says Nina’s is passionate about what they do. “When someone buys a piece of jewellery from us, we want them to be happy, we want to see them again,” he said. “They really become part of the Nina’s family. We’re passionate about what we do and that shows in our service and attention to detail.”

The Nina’s story began in Kununnura in 1965 with a vision of creating unique designs infused with the brilliance of pearls from the Broome region, diamonds and Western Australia’s own pure gold. Nina’s designs are a reflection of the extraordinary natural landscape and its aweinspiring beauty; from the miles of stunning coastline to lush forests and the wilderness of the Kimberley region.

And if you want to be pretty in pink then you’ve come to the right place; Nina’s is one of very few Argyle Pink Diamond Select Ateliers in the world today.
