Owner/Artist, Doug Mitchell's knowledge of his craft is only surpassed by his passion to share that knowledge with others.  A native of Southwest Michigan, Doug is driven to play an integral role in revitalizing downtown Three Rivers because he sees the promise of the good that it can bring.  His love of gems and jewelry is complimented by his love of antiques, good times and surrounding himself with extraordinary people.

Robin Burpee

Robin works both on the sales floor at 33 North Main Street and behind the scenes with Doug to add new technologies and ideas to the day to day operations of UniQ.  As a child her grandpa was an amateur "rock hound" so recalling the lessons that she was taught when she was younger is fun and brings back fond childhood memories.  Having a design background herself, Robin also enjoys seeing the various custom designs come to life from the sketch pad to the finished jewelry pieces.  Her sons love the gems that are in Mr. Mitchell's cases and they always seem to have just one more question for him to answer. A moment doesn't go by when they don't ask ... "Mr. Mitchell" a question.
