2kt Waterfall Ring

With a focus almost exclusively on creating diamond confections, Harakh produces exquisite and breathtaking luxury jewelry. Each piece is a work of masterful expertise, from the firm’s elegant diamond stud earrings to its elaborate drop necklaces. 

Harakh Mehta — a fourth-generation jeweler — founded the company when he was 38. Having been immersed in diamond cutting and gemology since childhood, Mehta sought to elevate his family's reputation for excellence to new heights.

Harakh’s great-grandfather, Manilal Chandulal Mehta, began the family journey in 1916. As one of the first people of Indian heritage to establish a diamond office in Antwerp, he began supplying the royal family of South India with loose diamonds. Manatil Mehta's son Rasiklal Manilal Mehta opened a workshop to cut and polish diamonds in 1945. In 1972, Harakh's father Samir Mehta carried on the family tradition by opening his own business in Mumbai, and in 1980 Harakh's mother Nayna Mehta opened her workshop to begin designing diamond jewelry.

Harakh Mehta studied in the United States at the Gemological Institute of America. He moved back to Mumbai to learn all he could from his mother and father about grading diamonds and designing jewelry.

Mehta dreamed of creating exquisite jewelry that also represented the spirituality of his home country. His family encouraged him to pursue his passion, and Mehta opened his firm in New York City in 2017. Today Mehta is a partner in the family business, Bombay Jewellery Manufacturers, and operates an atelier in Mumbai — where he is based. There are also four Harakh boutiques in the United States. The firm’s founder frequently draws on nature in his designs and sets diamonds in platinum or 18-karat gold. The atelier produces less than 200 pieces annually.

In 2019, Le Bal, Paris named Harakh Mehta the official jeweler for that year's event, and in 2020, the designer won the New York Rising Star Award for fine jewelry.

Antique and vintage cluster rings are timeless accessories. While they might have been considered more popular in certain eras than in others, they’re versatile and belong in any jewelry box.

Featuring a diamond or other central gemstone surrounded by smaller stones, the cluster rings’ distinguished look makes them a popular choice for engagement rings or, for a fancy night out, an accent piece for jewelry lovers everywhere.

The style of cluster rings has changed over time even if the defining attributes have remained intact.

Georgian-era jewelry — named for the monarchies of the four King Georges — features cluster rings that are often characterized by a grouping of central stones into rose-like shapes. (The stones are set off by the setting’s blackened metal.) Diamonds came into fashion during the late Victorian period, and late Victorian cluster rings were most often set in yellow gold. Jewelers of the Art Deco period embraced geometric shapes, and Art Deco cluster rings feature emeralds, sapphires and other colorful stones.

Cluster rings for future brides have been in and out of the spotlight, but cluster-style engagement rings have been experiencing a consistent revival of sorts since at least 2011, when Kate Middleton began wearing Princess Diana’s sapphire and diamond ring, which was made by Garrard in the 1980s. For your special day, whether you prefer vintage engagement rings or contemporary pieces, a cluster ring can deliver some sparkle if a diamond solitaire is out of your budget.
