Welcome, Highwater Studios is a husband and wife team who have fallen in love with making lampwork beads and jewelry. All of our items are handmade by us here in Oregon. We use sterling silver or natural copper and to make ourselves a little more green we use reclaimed brass-we don't use silver plated materials because we want our jewelry to be something you can hand down to future generations proudly. Silver plated tends to be thrown in the trash after the plate rubs off. We put tender loving care into all of them. Have fun looking and feel free to convo us with any special requests or comments! We ship your order the day after we receive payment. We ship in a gift bag. We are members of ISGB and SRA #H110, and SRAJD. We can also be found on the site www.lampwork.gotop100.com. Like we weren't busy enough. All contributed content is copyrighted and all bottles and jewelry are signed by us.
