Although we come from different artistic backgrounds (mine being graphic design, and hers painting, drawing, and metalsmithing), Beth’s eye for composition and detail are incredibly inspiring to me. She’s mastered the materials she works with and knows just how to showcase them in her unique designs. Below are just a few of my favorites!
As soon as this ring came out in June, I knew I had to have it. The design is simple: a brightly polished wave peaking over a subtly textured background. It’s the perfect piece of jewelry to convey my love of water and Lake Superior. The tapered double band makes it super comfy to wear every day and it sits close to my finger so I don’t have to worry about it catching on anything. This is a ring I’ll be wearing for many years (and many adventures) to come.
Starry Greenstone Forest Wonderland
Some of my favorite Beth Millner pieces have stamped details like the stars, leaves, and flower blossoms in this stunning pendant. Did you know that Beth carves her own metal stamps from roofing nails? It may sound crazy when you can just buy metal stamps online, but it’s features like this that make Beth’s work truly unique. I also love how the copper wire squiggles across the pendant to form an abstract landscape. But the real treasure of this pendant is the Michigan Greenstone below. Its natural shape fits perfectly into the bottom of the oval, and its greenish-blue hue complements the copper beautifully.
These copper dots get their vibrant color from enamel, a pigment that starts as a powder and melts into a glass when fired. If I could wear every color of these earrings at once, I would. How perfect are the red ones for a sultry summer evening? Or the yellow earrings with a cute floral sundress? But if you held a soldering gun to my head, I think I’d have to choose the deep cerulean blue. Whether they’re paired with a cocktail dress or blue jeans, this color will turn heads all the same.
Everyone who stops in our store seems to notice and compliment this mixed-metal pendant. It’s one of our most popular designs, and it comes in two pendant sizes and a pair of earrings. So what’s the big deal? It’s all in the layers! The Picnic Rocks island sits back in the distance with tiny trees and birds floating above, but the pebbles at the bottom are up close and full of texture. Looking at this piece feels like standing on those smooth, cool stones and staring out at the endless lake under a clear sky. I’ve never seen a piece of jewelry that draws me in quite like the Picnic Rocks pendant, and I think most of our customers would agree!
The silver leaf earrings I recently received are lovely!
Love drawings of birds, these are very nice and indicative of Beth’s range in artistry.
Love my paw ring! Sunny’s name engraved on the backside means so much to me. Thank you…. Excellent craftsmanship!!
I wanted a paw print pendant to honor my beloved Sunny who just passed away and to support UPAWS. The UPAWS pendant is perfect! I love incorporating the outdoors with the paw print. Perfect for my Sunny who loved exploring everyday .
This pendant surpassed my expectations. Nina did an outstanding job creating and crafting this beautiful piece. The mushrooms, snail, star moss and gorgeous turquoise make this pendant incredible. I absolutely love it.
I love my mushroom earrings! They are the birthday gift that I wear almost everyday.
I love, love, love my wedding ring. They also resized it for free even though I needed to send it in slightly after the 30 day window. Their customer service was also great and communicative. Wonderful experience.
Honestly it's like Nina looked into my soul for this one. The bracelet is beautiful, adaptable to different sized wrists, and subtle. The detail in each charm is excellent, and they're small enough you can wear it year-round without someone telling you what month it is like you can't love Halloween outside of October.
Perfect for the minimalist. Smells great. Takes a minute to break in. Fits in small pockets with my small phone, too. Made wonderfully.
My wife picked out the ring while on vacation in Marquette area. Had it “put aside” while she thought about how bad she wanted it. Gonna surprise her on Sweetest Day—
Every thing is great so far-I’ll let you know the outcome...
