Hello all! My name is Paige Courtney and I am thrilled to be a Beth Millner Jewelry ambassador for the next few months. My pitbull mix, Zia, and I live on the UP shore of Lake Michigan where I work as a Geological Engineer. We both enjoy the outdoors and you’ll usually find us next to the lake (Superior, Michigan or any of northern Wisconsin’s inland lakes!). I love to hike, camp, paddleboard, wakesurf, beach comb and practice yoga. And in the winters I enjoy snowshoeing, snowboarding, ice fishing, cross country and telemark skiing, and doing even more yoga.

I am passionate about the outdoors and learning and implementing changes that are sustainable. I also hope to become a yoga teacher one day.

I discovered Beth Millner Jewelry on Instagram while I was living in Marquette for a summer internship and I fell in love with her work right away. Before becoming an ambassador, I was gifted a Greenstone Summer Twig ring for graduating from the Geological Engineering program at Michigan Tech. I tell everyone it is my college “class ring” because Greenstone, or Chlorastrolite, is Michigan’s state gem and represents my love for geology.
Wearing my “class ring” on a post-graduation camping trip all the way around Lake Superior. Does this spot look familiar? (Hint: That’s a person climbing up the steep sandy slope just below my hand!)
I wanted to become an ambassador for Beth Millner Jewelry not only for the UP and Lake Superior inspired designs, but also because their business ethos resonates with me. I am proud to represent a woman-owned and crafted (2020 Michigan Woman Owned Small Business award winner!) and sustainability conscious brand and I can’t wait to share it all with you!
