It all started with Mr. Manilal Chandulal Mehta (Harakh Mehta’s great grandfather) decided to give a professional direction to his passion for diamonds – he was one of the first Indians to travel to Antwerp to set up a diamond office in Antwerp. He used to purchase loose stones and then supply it to the royal and noble families of South India.
Mr. Rasiklal Manilal Mehta – Continuing the tradition set by his father, Rasiklal set up agencies for the import of tools and machinery and started a small workshop and polishing diamond unit in Pondicherry.
After completing his engineering degree and with a keen eye and interest in diamonds, it was a natural progression for Mr. Samir Mehta to expand to diamond trading and operation. He is enamored by the energy of Bombay (now Mumbai) and looking at the booming diamond market, decides to settle and start his business.
Mrs. Nayna Mehta, Mr. Samir’s wife lays the foundation for what will become the family’s first foray into jewelry designing. She starts a small workshop and quickly becomes a known name in the elite circle.
