Emily - Alabama Customer 06/08/06 Hi Gretta, It is amazing that you only started working with wire in 2002. When I was looking at your work earlier this evening, I was thinking that sooo many people call themselves artists (who make jewelry), but very, Very few people would I consider to be artists. You definitely top the list. - S.S., United States 05/14/06 Browsing A Shasta Rose site and you site was recommended on her links.  I love your jewlery.  Great work! - A.F., North Carolina 05/12/06 I received my Pineapple Quartz necklace and I love it! - Georgia Customer 05/12/06 I too design jewelry so spend time looking and finding what others do..

I was so happy since I happen to be a big fan of your work! The other day I spent all morning admiring your pieces. I got so absorbed, and guess what, I was late for work again! Keep inspiring us all! Best wishes Maria Apostolou - www.dreamaway.gr/maria - Maria A., Greece 03/18/06 i love your site! i am artist and bead designer angela foreman from http://www.freewebs.com/eternal77518/ and please come visit my site sometime too! ty - Angela F., TX 02/13/06 Gretta, Hi!  Thanks again!  My multi-gem bracelet is fantastic- it coordinates with everything and feels wonderful on! - GA Customer 01/28/06 Hi There Talented Lady!      I have been hard at work changing jewelry boxes this afternoon and what an experience it was.  Wanted to tell you that you have changed my perception of jewelry Gretta.  For many years while working, wearing a pair of earrings was about as far as I got when trying to embellish an outfit...no motivation to wear matching pieces and it seemed like too much work to put it on. However now, since discovering your work, the jewelry goes on first and then I find something to wear to compliment the jewelry! Your unique style, eye for color combinations, mixing textures etc., is unsurpassed.  I find myself anxiously awaiting your new pieces :).  I look at jewelry in an entirely different way now, finding most of what I owned before yours to be simply plain, dull and boring (for lack of another word). Thanks again! - Teri C., NY 01/10/06 Hello Gretta, You are the awesome one woman . [edited for privacy of customer]You would laugh at me if you saw how I play with your jewelry - like a little kid in a candy store.  . What surprises me is how good I am at keeping it business pieces, because most everything I want to wear myself. In fact, a few days ago I got rid of a lot of my old jewelry, it's all so boring. You might have experienced something similar  when you began making your jewelry. I was browing in your Gallery a bit more and girl, let me tell you, you have created  a lot of exquisite pieces!!!!  Have a great evening and thanks so much for everything Gretta. Best Wishes, - New York Customer 01/09/06 Hi Gretta, Just wanted you to know that I received my beautiful multi gemstone necklace--it is such a happy feeling to know how well jeweled my neck is when I am wearing one of your creations!  Thank you AGAIN!!! - Georgia Customer 01/07/06 Good Morning Gretta! Just ordered three of your new pieces, gorgeous work & your ideas are simply amazing. You certainly have been blessed with many talents, and I know it's a lot of hard work and determination too. - New York Customer 12/20/05 Hi Gretta, Things came in the mail yesterday!  Gorgeous as always.  I just love the center stone on the necklace for my daughter, I can't wait for her to open it Christmas morning.  Thanks also for the gift certificate.  You know I am going to have to use it to complete the pearl set.  So, try to steer people away from the necklace and bracelet unless they are going to my mom.  :) Am I terrible or what?!?!?!?!  Just say something along the lines of, ohhh, you don't want that necklace/bracelet, it makes you look far to washed out, pale, grey, dead, hideous.  Whatever adjective works.  :)-  Good thing you don't have me around for all your sales events!!!  Nothing would leave the studio!  That would be horrible, you would have all this stuff waiting around for me to be rich, and that is going to take a long time!! - WI Customer 12/07/05 Hi Gretta! The necklace you created is exactly what I envisioned!  I love the hints of blue, green and gold in the pendant - it looks so royal!  This is yet another fine example of your ability to use my ideas and create a fabulous piece of wearable art - my sincere thanks to you, Gretta! - GA Customer 11/21/05 Hi Gretta,   I wanted to personally thank you for the jewelry you donated to our Holiday Auction.  The bracelet and bracelet/earring set were both a hit with our viewers!  We are happy to say that the auction was a success!  Thank you so much for supporting KTEH, the PBS TV Station for Silicon Valley.  I hope you have a wonderful Holiday and New Year!  And I hope we can do this again. Until next time, take care and best of luck.  I love your designs! Sincerely, Stephanie - Stephanie K., PBS TV Station; Silicon Valley 11/20/05 Hi Gretta - thank you so much for your wonderful, customer-oriented response.  Thanks also for the gift certificate!  You didn't have to, but I'm certain I can find some magnificent item to purchase!  I wear one of your necklaces and bracelets ALL THE TIME.  It's an amazing piece that matches practically everything I own.  Anyone who compliments the pieces, is automatically referred to your website, so, I'm trying to do some word-of-mouth marketing for you!  Hope you have a great Thanks and Have a Great Thanksgiving. My Kindest Regards, Mary - Mary C., WI 11/20/05 It looks like you've been very busy... I wish my jewelry budget was "unlimited" so I could buy everything I want.... I get so many compliments on the things you make for me, today I'm wearing the one you just made me with the dusty purple, gold and cranberry.... I absolutely love it, it goes with alot more than I originally thought... anyway, just let me know when you have the blue necklace done and I'll stop by next week. Hope that's ok. Have a great thanksgiving and don't work too hard. - J.J., WI 11/17/05 Beautiful earrings! Thanks for the prompt delivery!

I will look into your wholesale pricing, as I do buy pieces for resale. Keep creating...I will be back to your site every time I need inspiration. Thank you and Best Wishes. - Teri C., NY 10/28/05 Hi Gretta, Just want to thank you again for rushing that awesome necklace and earrings for me last week, I really appreciate it. It's perfect and looked great with my shirt! As usual your tempting me with your recent additions. Do you know if you'll be doing a necklace to match the B5-J6 Red Paintbrush Jasper bracelet? [edited for privacy of customer] There are a couple other items I'm thinking about too. - Jacki J., WI 10/27/05   I just want to thank you for rearranging your schedule and letting me come over to pick up my bracelet and ring today.

Angel blessings, Adrienne - Adrienne Szabo, NY 03/09/05 I am starting my own Jewelry business to supplement my meek income. I received an e-mail from Preston Reuter and got hooked.

I'm still browsing your beautiful selection. What I've seen so far is simply stunning!! I especially love your bangles.
