Hi I’m Grete,
I am a goldsmith and I have a small studio in a mountain village in the Dolomites, in Andalo in Trentino
About
Me, the artisan
Since I was a child I have loved creating. I always loved jewels but I ended up studying architecture and engineering, suppressing my creative spirit a little.
While I was working as an engineer, I started taking goldsmithing courses on weekends in Vicenza.
I became more and more passionate about jewelry and I left my job as an engineer in Trento to enroll in a full-time school in Florence.
Thanks to the knowledge I acquired from my talented teachers in Vicenza and Florence I was able to open a small studio in my hometown in the Dolomites, Andalo, here I create jewels inspired by the mountains and nature.
About
Metal & Grete
Metal and Grete jewels are inspired by the Dolomites, the beautiful mountains that surround me.
I have collections that refer to many aspects of the mountain environment: snow, rocks, branches, streams, animals…
All my pieces are handcrafted. I use many different techniques: castings, wax modeling, chisel, bench fabrication.
A Metal and Grete jewel makes you wear a memory of the mountains.
Do you have any questions or curiosities? Is there anything else you want to know about Metal and Grete?
