About

Cecilia Taibo Rahban

Cecilia Taibo Rahban

Founder | Designer

Growing up surrounded by art and classical music at home in Uruguay, Cecilia Taibo Rahban studied piano full time. Upon arriving in the United States her career path took a turn toward photography, exhibiting in Los Angeles, most notable in a show supported by the consulates of Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and her native Uruguay.

But the freedom of expression and innovation she found in the Los Angeles art scene led her to explore art making with different materials and techniques, resulting in her bold and elegant stainless steel jewelry designs. Again she received accolades and exhibitions including Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, the Museum of Latin American Art, World Art Dubai, Orange County Center for Contemporary Art and M.A.D. (Moda Arte Design) Gallery Milano in Milan, as well her Art Story being featured at the National Endowment for the Arts website.

“I have chosen stainless steel, chain maille in particular, as the medium for my latest creations, as it embodies the qualities I wish to inspire: elegance and boldness, fluidity and strength, for my jewelry to be grounding yet airy, delicate yet steel strong.

I wanted to create a symbol of the resilience and strength of spirit, as well as the sparkle we all have, but sometimes life’s challenges make us forget or neglect to nourish. Wearing my jewelry pieces is meant to not only beautify your look, but to connect you with your inner strength while bringing some fun into your day.”
