About me

Hi, I'm Gretta and I am your happy artist and jewelry artisan.

Two names, one brand

My ethnic name is Yuman and my daughter's name is Kaili. Together our names form my jewelry brand, Yuman Ka-ili.

Just like with my art, I pour my heart and soul into creating beautiful things that you can wear. I infuse all of my work with my artistry and celebrate creativity in every piece I make and design.

Nature and culture inspire me every day and in every way.
