The expansion coincides with the launch of their new collection, Lot 93, inspired by the golden glamour of the 1990s.
'Lot 93 is a tribute to the woman who curates her world through meaningful finds … It's about rediscovery, like rummaging through your mother's jewelry box,' they explained.
'It was about curating, not just creating. Each piece feels like a rediscovered gem, part of a larger narrative that invites the wearer to make it their own,' explained the duo.
Despite the pressures of co-leading a growing brand, Dima and Tania say working together is their superpower. 'Of course, we clash, we take different paths to the same goal, but there's a deep trust that grounds us,' they said.
The sisters said their jewelry combines emotional stories and skillful craftsmanship.
'Jewelry is how we wear history and emotion. It's timeless, layered, and meant to evolve with you,' they explained.
As they enter the Saudi market, the Nawbar sisters see this not just as an expansion, but as a continuation of their brand's journey.
'This isn't just about selling jewelry, it's about connecting with women who see their own stories in our pieces,' they said. 'We're honored to be part of this evolving creative landscape in the Kingdom.'

Aramco resilient despite volatility thanks to low costs, financial strength: CEO
Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Saudi Aramco) has demonstrated strong operational resilience despite the recent market volatility, supported by a low-cost structure, strong financial position, and disciplined execution. Addressing the H1 2025 earnings call attended by Argaam, Nasser said Aramco's adjusted net income reached $50.9 billion, with free cash flow at $34.4 billion, maintaining a robust performance in the face of global turmoil. Additionally, the Saudi oil giant's net debt stood at 6.5%, while return on capital employed hit 19%, according to the top executive. He also pointed out that global oil demand averaged 105.3 million barrels per day (bpd) from January through August. The rate is expected to continue growing and rise by more than 2% in the second half of this year, driven by seasonal factors and improving economic activity in China and the US. Separately, global inventories remain tight at 3.6 billion barrels, supporting continued demand momentum through 2025, the CEO further stated. Aramco maintained 100% reliability in crude and product deliveries in H1 2025, with the second-quarter production amounting to 12.8 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), up by 475,000 boe/d from Q1 2025. Executive VP and CFO Ziad Al-Murshed said Aramco achieved $3.5 billion in operational savings through SABIC integration, with ongoing portfolio restructuring across the group amid industry overcapacity. Aramco continues to shift capital from low-return assets to higher-yielding opportunities, including infrastructure projects that have drawn investor interest despite modest returns. Al-Murshed added that Aramco expanded its retail footprint with 250 new branded stations since 2024, and maintained H1 2025 capex at $25.5 billion, in line with its full-year target of $52-58 billion. At present, the Saudi oil giant is exploring multi-currency bond issuances, domestic sukuk, and secured export credit financing to support strategic growth, he underlined.
