- ▼What metals do you use in your rings?
-
Beth Millner Jewelry offers a wide variety of unique handmade engagement rings and wedding bands in recycled sterling silver, yellow gold, rose gold and palladium white gold. Certain metals are more durable than others, with palladium white gold being the most durable metal we work with and sterling silver being the softest. Most of our sterling silver wedding bands often have a patina applied to the metal to darken and oxidize the details. Gold items cannot be darkened and will have a little less contrast than our sterling silver wedding bands.
Copper is not recommended for wedding rings, it is a softer metal and is not the most durable for a ring. Furthermore, some variations of skin pH levels can cause an etching to the copper when the copper is paired with sterling silver. Rose gold is a great alternative to copper, our 14K Rose gold is also very close in color to copper and is much more durable.
- ▼What are my stone choices & settings?
- We specialize in setting round stones in tube settings and gypsy flush settings and can also set cabochons (domed top, flat back stones). Tube and flush settings are durable and snag-free, allowing for comfortable wearing for an active lifestyle. We offer a variety of certified recycled diamonds, rustic rose cut diamonds, Michigan greenstone, Lake Superior agates, copper banded agates, and other gemstones. Please contact us for more information on our stone inventory.
- ▼Are your recycled diamonds certified?
- Yes, our supplier verifies and certifies all the recycled diamonds used in our pieces.
- ▼What inspires Beth's designs?
-
Beth Millner Jewelry is designed for the active, modern individual with simplicity and ease of wearing in mind. We make unique pieces that can be worn everyday, in casual or formal settings. Our strong nature themes offer a timeless connection to a more natural lifestyle.
Beth's tree designs often depict a relationship between trees which relate to each like people. A tree couple's love is strong and steadfast, with deep roots and high reaching branches and a family tree is united and rooted as one, even as its branches grow in different directions and reach new heights.
Beth draws inspiration for each design from the beautiful natural landscape of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Lake Superior. Our original line of U.P. and Lake Superior silhouette jewelry is a popular way to show pride in our area. Some of Beth's favorite local places have been direct inspirations in many mixed metal and silver pieces including Little Presque Isle, Wetmore Landing, Picnic Rocks, Presque Isle Park, the Iron Ore Heritage Trail and many others!
