Upper Peninsula & Lake Superior Post Earrings

When you live so close to an enormous body of water like Lake Superior, it's easy to take its beauty and power for granted. A few weeks ago, we were reminded of the immense force and unceasing energy the lake can produce. An awe-inspiring storm moved across Upper Michigan with such ferocity that it generated record setting waves along Superior's shoreline. The largest recorded wave was measured at 28.8 feet off the coast of Munising in the Upper Peninsula. Here in Marquette, the city is still hard at work recovering from the extensive wind and rain damage.

For better or worse, humans are often at the forefront of shaping our environment. Yet, in moments like this, we are humbled by the ferocity of the natural world. Through these common experiences and struggles, we establish our roots and identity in the local region. Yooper Pride is no flimsy thing, after all.

To honor the relationship between lake and land, between Superior and the Upper Peninsula, we will soon be releasing the Lake Superior and Upper Peninsula Post Earrings. Made from recycled sterling silver, these petite pieces will feature the silhouette of the U.P. and the largest of the Great Lakes as a combined pair.

This gorgeous pair could be yours and they are brand new. If you want to stay in the know about all important Beth Millner Jewelry updates, stay tuned to our Facebook and Instagram pages!
