As the children of generations of jewelers, Dima and Tania fondly remember growing up playing dress-up with and adorned in their father’s and grandfather’s designs, which created a strong love for jewelry and the longing to design as their family has done for four generations. Today, they are the first female jewelers in the Nawbar dynasty, and carry their legacy with pride as they continue their family tradition.
