Nice to meet you! My name is Kris Goymerac, and I’m a UP resident, world traveler, and a self-proclaimed Yooper Ambassador. I don’t have many chances to spread my love of the UP, “the 906,” to other countries these days, so I feel very grateful that I’m able this summer to instead spread my love of Beth Millner Jewelry while exploring all of the secret little niches of the Hiawatha National Forest, and other UP places I haven’t gotten around to discovering yet.
I have been a fan of BMJ since before she had a storefront in Marquette, and my first and favorite piece is the one my girlfriends gifted me recently for my 50th birthday.
I had been talking about buying a pendant forever, but I kept getting stuck in “analysis paralysis” because I just couldn’t narrow down my favorite to one single piece. Now every time I wear it, whether I’m traveling to the grocery store or across the ocean, I can always carry a little piece of the 906, and my dear friends, with me wherever I go.
The world may have had other plans for my traveling this year, but the good news is that the outdoors is never closed! I’ve visited dozens of countries, but none of them have ever tugged me back like the place where I grew up. I plan on spending as much time as possible this summer kayaking that lake, hiking that path, foraging in the woods, taking oodles of photographs, and breathing in all that wonderful fresh air!
May you all be connected this summer by the people, things, and experiences you love.
Be happy, be well.
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...
