More about Brooke:

What are your favorite Beth Millner Jewelry pieces?

"I f I had to pick my two current favorites it would have to be the new bear pendants with the stone bezel set to the bottom and the agate bracelets. I love the placement of the stone on the bear pendants along with the shape of the stones. What I love about the bracelet is that the agate is the star of the show, the texture applied to the metal pairs nicely with the piece's simplicity."

What is your favorite part of working at BMJ?

" The creative and positive atmosphere is my favorite part. We all share an appreciation for nature and art which I think allows us to enjoy work in a unique way."

What is your favorite way to enjoy nature?

" I love to look for beach glass and rocks in the summer but in the colder months I more enjoy observing and taking inspiration from the changing landscape. I have found that channeling my attention towards the beauty of the cold and using that inspiration when creating pieces distracts me from the brutality of winter."

What do you like to do when you're feeling creative?

" When I am feeling creative I have to draw or write down whatever is in my brain. If it’s an idea for an illustration then I make a rough draft just to make sure I don’t lose the idea. I just love to bring whatever idea I have at the moment to life, no matter the media."

What's your favorite thing to read or listen to?

" My favorite podcast right now is Morbid which is all about true crime. The song I am listening to on repeat right now is The Color Violet by Tory Lanez. I don’t have a book I really enjoy at the moment but The Book Thief is one I want to read again."

Stopped in to your store.

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...

Spring Robin

This charm is very nicely made and a very beautiful design.

Beautiful ring

This ring for me gives me a peace of MQT summers, of the lush greens and full trees. Beth is able to share so many of her local experiences into her jewelry which I can appreciate. Leaves me peaceful...

Braided Copper Lake Superior Agate Drop Pendant

I was raised in the U.P. and have a deep love of Lake Superior and agates, and many of my family members on my mother's side worked in the copper mines. (Plus Beth and I are both alums of NMU.) When I saw this pendant, I realized that not only did it look beautiful, but it represented so much of who I am.

When it arrived, I was stunned at how beautiful it is.

I have a number of other Beth Millner pieces, all of which I love, but this one is particularly special. I have a chain from the shop, but can't help but think that a braided copper chain would be a perfect match.

Just Stunning

Every time I look down at this ring on my hand, I feel transported into a favorite place, the rustic U.P. woods: surrounded by green leaves & branches galore. The double band combined with a twig-like appearance really catches my eye, with a natural greenstone front & center. Well done BMJ team!
