Lampwork jewelry from Hager Studios is designed and constructed with only the finest materials, including Softflex heavy weight wire, sterling silver or gold-filled findings and wire (unless otherwise noted), Austrian Swarovski crystals, and freshwater pearls. All lampwork beads are created by Susan Matych-Hager at Hager Studios. Because each bead is individually made, no two beads are ever exactly alike. Although the artist sometimes works in series, each piece is a unique, one-of-a-kind, artistic expression. Hager Studios wearable art is proudly tagged with the artist's mark. You can be assured of the finest, outstanding quality if your jewelry is made by Hager Studios.
