About GretaJewellery

GretaJewellery

I make classic and fun jewellery using freshwater pearls gemstones and sea glass to make unique and wearable pieces.

I'm Amanda Tasker, also known as Greta Jewellery. I have been making jewellery from my home studio in North Cumbria for the past 13 years. I borrowed the name 'Greta' from the beautiful River Greta which runs through the Cumbrian town of Keswick, where we run our business - Viewpoints Gallery in St John's Street.

I mostly use natural and dyed freshwater pearls gemstones and tumbled sea glass to make individual pieces for easy everyday wear. I love the unique look of freshwater pearls - there are no two pearls exactly the same and many are 'perfectly imperfect'.
I have recently introduced sea glass into my collection - found on beaches on the coast of Cumbria, Northumberland and North Yorkshire. I tumble the rough sea glass to enhance its appearance before drilling or wrapping. If I'm not in the gallery or studio - I might be found at Mawbray beach with my dog, beach combing for treasure!

I prefer to use 14k gold filled and rose gold filled clasps chains and fittings for elegance and durability, but I also love the look of sterling silver and gold vermeil (gold plated sterling silver) and pure copper.

All items are designed and made exclusively by me. I can often rework a design on request, if for example you prefer a different size, clasp or colour. Please contact me with your enquiry and I will endeavour to help.

Thank you so much for browsing.
