Pat Miller's Jewelry on display at Mero Gallery

Patricia Bogert Miller is a silversmith and jewelry designer who uses native Mexican opals in much of her work - opals mined in Querétaro by independent lapidary artists. The rich varied colors and shapes of these and other stones used in her jewelry are an inspiration and focal point of her designs. Patricia and her husband have had studios in San Miguel since 1989, and moved here full-time in 2005. She began studying silversmithing at that time but previously she sculpted large copper garden art and, with her sculptor husband, developed a successful wholesale jewelry line in the U.S.
