We are thrilled to announce that Beth Millner Jewelry has been selected as the 2020 Woman-Owned Small Business of the year! We were up against all businesses in Michigan of 500 or fewer employees. We were chosen by the Michigan Small Business Administration and Michigan Celebrates Small Business. These awards identify successful growing companies known for their marketplace performance, innovation, philanthropy, and workplace culture.
Our main goal here at Beth Millner Jewelry has always been to provide sustainable, nature-inspired jewelry to our community. We strive to make ethical decisions at every stage of the production process, to choose recycled materials, and to be a company that provides fair wages. We also believe that part of any successful business model should include giving back to the community. Our Fundraiser Pendant and Fundraiser Mask programs are just one way that we have been able to do this. Additionally, we shipped out over 30,000 pieces of PPE for free during the COVID-19 pandemic. We don't do these things for recognition, we do them because it is what we believe in. That said, we are so grateful that our community and state see businesses doing things right, and that they chose to honor us out of the many incredible small businesses in Michigan!
We want to thank our customers, coworkers, and community for the support and dedication to the Upper Peninsula and our business. We truly could not have done this without all of you, and we feel endlessly grateful for our Upper Peninsula family.
