About Greta

The name Greta was inspired by the beautiful river Greta running through the Lake District town of KESWICK.
Although semi retired, I still make jewellery in my home studio in North Cumbria.
I mostly use good quality natural and dyed freshwater pearls with gemstones. I also use sea glass found on beaches in the North West and North East of England. These have been tumble polished to make a beautiful and unique piece of jewellery.
I've recently been experimenting with 'Art Clay Silver' to make pure 99.9% silver pendants.

Clasps chains and fittings are either 14k gold filled or sterling silver and occasionally brass or copper.

14k Gold Filled - is usually stamped '14k 1/20' meaning 14 karat gold makes up at least 1/20th of the total weight. It is made by bonding gold to a base metal (often brass) and is much more durable than gold plated.

Rose Gold Filled - has a bonded layer of 14k gold alloyed with copper.

Sterling Silver - is usually stamped ‘925’ meaning it is 92.5% silver alloyed with 7.5% base metal.

Silver Clay - is made from recycled powdered silver with an organic binder and water. It can be moulded and modelled, dried and torch fired to make a piece of pure 99.9% silver.

Freshwater Pearls - also known as cultivated pearls may be natural or dyed and come in many colours shapes and sizes. I mostly use baroque pearls, nuggets and rice pearls 'A Grade' or higher.

Sea Glass - my sea glass is found on the beaches of North England and polished in a rock tumbler to enhance it.

I recommend storing Greta Jewellery in a soft bag inside a case away from the atmosphere. It is advisable to avoid contact with soaps, perfumes, chemicals and make up.
To clean your Jewellery - wipe with a soft dry cloth and occasionally restore sterling silver by rubbing with a silver cloth.

All my Jewellery is presented in a smart grey card box with GRETA logo and foam interior - posted via Royal Mail to any UK address. There is a postage charge of £3.00 per order.
