Sometimes people ask us what makes Beth Millner Jewelry successful, and while there are many factors involved, one huge one is our incredible staff. Every person on our team brings something unique to the table.
Nina, Beth's studio assistant manager, has been working here for over 5 years. She graduated from Northern Michigan University with a degree in Ceramics and learned metalsmithing from Beth.

Lex is our assistant manager. They are like a human encyclopedia - if you have a question, they can probably answer it! They graduated with a degree in Painting from Northern Michigan University and started working for Beth about two years ago. They are involved in local theater, particularly at the Historic Vista Theater, where they have been integral to the revitalization efforts that are happening for the historic building. They also have an awesome sense of fashion. Find out more about their favorite pieces here!
Jane is our full-time Senior Sales and Office Assistant. She does most of the writing for the shop and has recently forayed into photo editing. She just graduated with a degree in creative writing from Northern Michigan University.

Alexa is our graphic designer. She graduated from Northern Michigan University with a degree in Graphic Design and recently moved back to the Upper Peninsula. She has an eye for design, an easy-going personality, and always has something thoughtful to add to any conversation. Plus, she has some really cute kitties. She’s got married on Halloween, which might be the coolest thing we’ve ever heard. Check out Alexa's favorite pieces here.
Last, but certainly not least, is Beth! She brought us all together with her amazing artwork. She truly lives by the mission she set for this business and is always looking for ways to be a better boss, a better ambassador for the environment, and a more socially conscious human. She has a killer sense of humor, a talent for thrifting, is a straight talker, and a nature lover. It’s awesome to work for such a genuine and talented person.

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...
