A few life-changing conversations later, she decided to pursue her dream of being a jewelry designer. Halle took courses in wax carving, silversmithing, and design, and then left her career to become a full-time student at the Fashion Institute of Technology. While at FIT, Halle studied under master jewelry designers from Tiffany, Harry Winston, and Van Cleef \u0026amp; Arpels. After FIT, Halle worked as a designer for licensed brands under Liz Claiborne and at a leading sterling silver designer. In 2015, Halle accepted a position at Fossil, to help develop the aesthetic, marketing, and narrative design for the Michael Kors, Skagen and Fossil jewelry brands, where she currently serves as Associate Creative Director. She is also the creator of Heart The Stones, a fine jewelry line that celebrates bravery in unexpected ways. Halle lives in Dallas, Texas with her husband and two young sons.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e“Inspired by meaningful fabrics and patterns from the African Diaspora, each piece is designed to celebrate personal milestones as your story unfolds.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHalle Millien, Heart the Stones\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0333\/8892\/0967\/collections\/NDC049_Heart_the_Stones_Stills_Group_Shot_Gold_F.jpg?v=1672367729","url":"https:\/\/marissacollections.live\/collections\/designers-heart-the-stones.oembed","provider":"Marissa Collections","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
