We’ve meticulously recreated its grandeur through delicate designs, ornate Mughal patterns, and perfect symmetry,” says Varma.

More than just an aesthetic indulgence, Mehr carries profound emotional significance, serving as a talisman of self-worth and empowerment. “Jewelry, to me, is a language of the soul. Mehr is my personal dialect, a collection designed to resonate with your deepest self. It’s a love letter written in semi-precious gemstones, each jewel a reminder of your inherent brilliance,” shares Varma. Every piece—from dawn-like pearls to paradise-green aquamarines—tells a story of warmth, beauty, and confidence, making Mehr an intimate companion in one’s journey of self-expression.
The partnership with Aulerth brings an added dimension of conscious luxury to the collection. Known for its dedication to sustainability, Aulerth’s use of reclaimed metals and ethical sourcing aligns seamlessly with Varma’s design philosophy. “For me, design must possess both beauty and depth. Aulerth’s commitment to sustainability elevates jewelry-making to a new level. This collaboration, a fusion of artistry and responsibility, is truly special. Mehr embodies this ethos, offering opulent designs imbued with self-love and conscious living—jewels that transcend fleeting trends,” he explains.
The collection features a diverse range of jewelry, including chains, earrings, necklaces, rings, bangles, maang tikkas, and bracelets, with prices ranging from INR 4,000 to INR 55,000. Each piece stands as a radiant symbol of inner beauty, a tribute to individuality, and an homage to love in its purest form. Designed to be cherished for generations, Mehr reminds us that true love—whether for another or oneself—transcends time, much like a masterpiece carved in eternity.
