About Greta
The name Greta was inspired by the beautiful river Greta running through the Lake District town of Keswick where you can find our gallery.
Viewpoints Gallery showcases the work of my husband/photographer Pete Tasker. He lets me have a bit of space to display my jewellery!
I mostly use beautiful natural and dyed freshwater pearls, along with gemstones, mother of pearl, Silver and Copper. 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 'silver clay' to make pure .999 silver charms.
Clasps chains and fittings are either 14k gold filled or sterling silver and occasionally 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 .999 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 graded A 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 free to any UK address.
