MARLI New York Arrives at Solitaire

A New Expression of Modern Luxury in Riyadh

Riyadh’s appetite for contemporary fine jewelry has found a new home. MARLI New York opened its boutique at Solitaire Mall with a celebration that felt as thoughtfully crafted as the pieces on display. The evening brought together influential guests, leading media, and friends of the brand for a moment that reflected the harmony between New York audacity and the city’s growing cultural refinement.

Guests stepped into a space shaped by fluid forms, textured contrasts and sharply considered lines. The boutique’s interior design echoed MARLI’s aesthetic vocabulary. It felt sculptural and soft at the same time. The atmosphere carried the quiet confidence of a brand that knows exactly who it is and who it speaks to.

The ribbon cutting set the tone. Maral Artinian, Founder and Creative Director, welcomed guests with grace and warmth. She stood beside Nadine Njeim, acclaimed Lebanese actress and the newly appointed brand ambassador for the Middle East. Nadine’s presence perfectly mirrored MARLI’s visual language. Elegant, poised and expressive, she embodied the clarity and modernity that define the house.

Maral paused for a moment of reflection, sharing what it meant to inaugurate the boutique at Solitaire Mall. “This address is where New York’s creative spirit meets Riyadh’s living pulse. It is a space designed to welcome the community, where design is felt, identity is honoured, and self expression is celebrated, making every visit a moment of discovery.” Her words captured the brand’s entire philosophy. Jewelry for MARLI is not an accessory. It is a form of personal storytelling.

Inside, guests explored the signature collections. Cleo, Tip Top, LIFE and Empire revealed themselves through the brilliance of eighteen karat gold and the kind of meticulous stone setting that only a heritage of craftsmanship can create. The pavé and full pavé diamonds felt alive under the boutique lighting. The hand selected gemstones shifted with the movement of each person browsing the cases. Precision and fluidity met in every curve of metal, giving MARLI a voice that is instantly recognizable.

What distinguished the opening was how naturally MARLI translated its New York roots into a Riyadh setting. Nothing felt imposed. The boutique’s teal accents, the architectural rhythm of the room, and the understated elegance of the displays worked together to create an environment that felt immersive and intentional. It invited guests to explore at their own pace, to try, to observe, and to connect.

With its arrival at Solitaire, MARLI brings more than a new retail address. It introduces a viewpoint shaped by three generations of Artinian family expertise and guided by Maral’s belief in liberated self expression. Her global upbringing and life in New York continue to inform the brand’s creative direction, but Riyadh gives it a new stage. There is something compelling about seeing a house built on movement, contrast and individuality find resonance with the region’s evolving style landscape.

The opening marks a milestone for MARLI in the Gulf. As Riyadh continues its transformation into a regional hub for culture, fashion and design, brands with a strong identity are becoming part of the city’s narrative. MARLI enters that story with clarity. It brings craftsmanship rooted in heritage, a modern point of view shaped by Manhattan energy, and a design language built around balance and intention.

The boutique is now open at Solitaire Mall. For Riyadh’s jewelry lovers, it offers a space where artistry and emotion meet, where every piece carries the confidence of a brand that knows how to create beauty that feels both personal and current. MARLI arrives not as a quiet addition, but as a meaningful part of the city’s ongoing creative rise.
