This is how Greta is born

Greta was born in July 2019 thanks to Juan and Vanessa's desire to explore epoxy resin. In principle, everything was focused on creating pieces for the home with wood and resin, we made tables and decorative objects. This experimentation with resin gave way to the creation of smaller amulets-type pieces; necklaces and bracelets, resin has always allowed us to create thanks to its versatility and of course our curiosity. After creating pieces with wood, she began experimenting with flowers, photographs and encapsulations in general.

amazing pieces

Greta has allowed us to create pieces with a very special meaning for us and for many people, one of the most significant is the creation of a bracelet with wood, resin and ashes of the parents of a boy from Santa Marta who unfortunately lost his parents during the pandemic, the special thing about this bracelet is that he wanted to evoke the sea by replacing the sand with the ashes of his parents, it was quite a challenge but above all it was too special for us to make this bracelet. We also had the opportunity to create wedding rings for several couples in different places in Colombia. Here I want to give all the credit to Juan David for his talent, dedication and for leaving his soul in each piece of wood he made.

Hard decision

In the year 2022, all our efforts were focused on experimenting with everything we found around us. Today I look back and I know that it was the most difficult and most enriching thing we did because this constant experimentation involved a very high investment, trial and error, failures and learnings that also did not allow us to define a style or a specialization in Greta, that is why I made the decision to choose only one path for Greta, and this was to specialize in jewelry with precious metals, that is why I studied jewelry in the Seine and later 3D modeling.

Greta today

I can say that with all the steps we have taken, we have been able to find a clear purpose, that of making jewelry that tells stories. Currently Greta specializes in creating necklaces and bracelets that contain photographs of memorable memories, those photographs that we carry tattooed in our souls because they always take us to places, people and times of infinite happiness.

Gratitude

Greta would be nothing today without the tireless support of my family, without my father's voice of encouragement and my mother's words of admiration and what could I say about my brothers who never stop supporting us every day. Thanks to my family for being the fundamental pillar of this story that is just beginning to be written.
