128 HARAKH Peacock Collection has been crafted to reflect the dance and vibrancy of their gorgeous feathers. Harakh Mehta, Founder of Harakh says, “I come from a large community of diamond merchants and jewellers, who have their origins in Gujarat and Rajasthan. While growing up, I remember our many visits to these regions on family gatherings and festival holidays which would give us a chance for visit the beautiful countryside. It was quite a treat for a city boy like me especially in the monsoons complete with the peacocks and the vibrant rain dances that I would still love to escape to”. Harakh continues, “Whenever I need to lift my spirits, all I have to do is to think of a peacock in its full bloom. It’s not just the vibrant colours of its beautiful feathers that instantly transform my mood or its graceful gait that personifies charm and nobility – it’s something much deeper. To me, the peacock is a manifestation of the power of integrity and honesty, and the beauty we can achieve from within when we show our true colours”.
