Arasely Rios

Arasely is a business owner with over a decade of entrepreneurial experience, and twenty years experience as a corporate executive. Her current company, Seraphym Inc, where she introduced the first high quality Heirloom Rosary collection in the United States, has grown from her life long hobby of making rosaries, to an international business in which her product collections are being sold in over 300 retail outlets. Her work received local and national attention in 2015 when Serpahym was commissioned to design a ceremonial canonization rosary for Pope Francis during his visit to the United States. The Seraphym Heirloom Collection is curated from revived ancient medal castings, intricate and elaborate components, and manufacturing processes that make each design
divinely beautiful and long lasting. The first Seraphym flagship Sacred Art Boutique and Gallery opened in 2018 in Santa Fe, NM where she features her Heirloom collection of Rosaries and Jewelry, as well as a carefully curated Sacred Art from all over the world, and works with artisans from different countries to
design Sacred Art collections that are sold exclusively at her boutique. Arasely is a public speaker and has been featured on media outlets such as Fox news, NPR,
Immaculate Heart Radio, and EWTN. She facilitates retreats about the Rosary, and Our Lady of Guadalupe, as well as speaks at women’s conferences about her faith story that took her from Lipsticks to Rosaries. She has earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business and Marketing, and Master of Arts degree in Andragogical studies. She is a fellow of Stanford University and USC through an invitation only business school program for Latino entrepreneurial studies. She is currently on the board of Spanish Colonial Art Society, and President of the Santa Fe Carmelite secular community. Her love of the Rosary was nurtured by growing up in a family that prayed the rosary every night. She learned how to make a rosary at 8 years old and it fast became her hobby. Her rosary designs have evolved into intricate works of art designed to last for generations. She aligns with Dostoevsky’s concept that beauty will save the world, and everything we offer as Christians should be the ultimate example of beauty. She also believes that prayer is the key to peace and happiness.

“Prayer, this intangible yet quite palpable whisper comes from an untouchable core that’s
situated somewhere deep inside…somewhere between your breath, your mind and your heart. It
is found in a place almost beyond reach where small dosages of courage to believe in the world
we live in are subconsciously stored. Prayer costs nothing yet delivers everything… generously,
abundantly, and just at the right time.”
