HARAKH 1 5/8 CT Colorless Diamond Cascade Cluster Flower 18 KT White Gold 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.
