LONDON — Sister duo Dima and Tania Nawbar are bringing Lot 93, the latest collection from their 134-year-old family-run Lebanese fine jewelry brand L’Atelier Nawbar, to the 2025 Couture Jewelry Show in Las Vegas.

Fourth generation in the family business, the Nawbar sisters said the new collection represents the latest chapter in the brand’s ’90s revival direction, highlighting the period’s confident, expressive, and slightly nostalgic spirit of bold gold with nods to symbols like the evil eye and karma.

“This range draws from a very personal place. Our family has always been immersed in the world of jewelry, not only as designers but as lifelong collectors. Lot 93 reflects that journey: nostalgic yet fresh, expressive yet timeless,” they said.

“It celebrates the legacy that inspired us to collect, curate, and ultimately, create. We drew from our own family stories, uncovering bold gold treasures in Beirut, and discovering rare finds at auction houses in Paris, New York and London. These moments shaped our creative lens and breathed life into this collection,” the sisters continued.

Since taking over the family business, the two have not only been updating the offerings, but also implementing modern ethos such as traceability and ethical practice.

The gold used in the Lot 93 collection is all of single-mine origin, a concept created by the Birmingham, England-based AIM-listed gold company Hummingbird Resources. Single-mine origin gold is sourced from one of Hummingbird Resources’ mines in Mali, as well as a mine in Côte d’Ivoire, controlled by Endeavour Mining.

“Traceability is about integrity. We believe in knowing the full story behind every component we
use. Single-mine origin gold is a core part of our sourcing, but beyond that, we work
closely with partners who share our commitment to transparency, ethical labor practices, and
environmental care,” they added.

Another big move to promote transparency was to relocate the workshop to the center of its two flagships in Beirut and Riyadh.

It’s a way of honoring the artisans behind the pieces, and deepening the relationship people have with jewelry, making it more accessible, more wearable, and deeply personal,” said the Nawbar sisters.

This year will mark the third time L’Atelier Nawbar will participate in Couture.

“Each year feels more energizing than the last. It’s been instrumental in elevating our brand presence in the U.S. The exposure, the feedback, and the connections have all been invaluable, and we have grown our U.S. retail footprint as a direct result of showing there,” they said.

In addition to its two flagships, the brand is stocked at over 50 retailers worldwide, including Nordstrom, Moda Operandi, Neiman Marcus, Harrods, and Net-a-porter.

A top-selling triangle heart 18-karat yellow gold necklace, as seen on Shawn Mendes, retails at $1,295, while a playful 18-karat yellow gold Milky Way necklace inlaid with stones and encrusted with round white diamonds is priced at $15,925.

The Nawbar sisters said that while the brand has fully embraced digital storytelling and vibrant, expressive designs that reflect today’s customer since they took over, the commitment to craftsmanship, the love of storytelling through jewelry, and the strong family values behind the scenes remain at the core of L’Atelier Nawbar.

“It’s the same heart, but with a louder, more colorful voice,” they added.
