Stanley Hagler began designing and crafting jewelry in the 1950s. His hand-manipulated work comprised of simulated pearls and Swarovski rhinestones are desirable collectibles today, although he didn't personally make every piece of jewelry that bears his name.

His jewelry was marked Stanley Hagler with a cartouche similar to that of Miriam Haskell until the early 1980s when he moved to Florida. His brand reportedly changed to Stanley Hagler N.Y.C. at that time, and his workshop began marking his designs with that designation. Mark Mercy, who was hired by Hagler in 1979, made the move to Florida with him. Hagler hired Ian St. Gielar to work for him as a craftsman after the move. When he passed away in 1996, the two apprentices continued making jewelry under the Hagler name.

After Hagler's death, both men continued using his name on jewelry claiming they had the right to do so.

A number of different marks have been used on both pre-1996 Stanley Hagler pieces and those produced by Mark Mercy and the St. Gielar workshop dating after Mr. Hagler's death. There are a few subtle differences to note in these marks when identifying and dating this type of jewelry.

Stanley Hagler N.Y.C. – This mark was found on an older pearl piece made pre-1996 by the original Hagler workshop. The jewelry made with these identifying plaques is usually smaller in scale than later Mercy and St. Gielar pieces, although some of the same types of elements were used in original Hagler and later pieces.
