Michelle Miller is a contemporary jeweller whose work is rooted in the quiet beauty of imperfection and the enduring resonance of the past. Drawing inspiration from ancient relics, weathered surfaces, and the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, her pieces explore themes of metamorphosis, erosion, and the understated elegance of things left unfinished.

Each work is handcrafted using traditional techniques, often featuring organic textures, raw edges, and asymmetrical forms that echo the patinas and shapes of archaeological artefacts. The result is jewellery that feels both timeless and intimate—inviting the wearer to connect with the notion of flawed beauty and transience.

Michelle studied jewellery and object design at the Design Centre Enmore, where she developed her approach to craftsmanship and material exploration. Based in Melbourne, she creates jewellery that feels unearthed rather than made: quietly powerful, deeply personal, and steeped in a sense of history.
