Rebecca Hallam was raised in Austin, Texas, but feels a strong spiritual connection to Mexico, where she was born. Since she was a young child, Rebecca spent her summers in San Miguel de Allende, a picturesque colonial town in central Mexcio that is known for its bohemian arts and culture. Her experiences in San Miguel helped shape her aesthetic influences as a jewelry designer and much of her work today is reflective of the time she spent living there.

Rebecca dabbled in fashion and design since graduating from college, but it wasn't until after giving birth to her daughter that she started to get serious about pursuing it. As a young mother, she could not afford the beautiful jewelry that she loved. Then she met a local family of artists while summering in San Miguel with her family. She took them some pieces of her great grandmother's jewelry that had been made in Mexico and asked them to redesign it to make it more current, yet maintain its classic style. From there she started designing pieces for herself and her friends. Friends began asking to buy her work and Rebecca Hallam Designs was born.

Part of the appeal of Rebecca's work is how she merges current trends with a unique eclecticism and timeless style. The result is luxurious yet affordable jewelry that embraces the mood of each trend, while maintaining a sense of history. Rebecca explains it best herself, "My business started out of a desire for beautiful things. Although I'm influenced by current trends, I'm drawn to classic pieces that could have been my great grandmother's. I believe jewelry can affect your attitude- like a beautiful dress, it changes the way you feel in your clothes."
