Anand Shah – Nature’s Goldsmith 💛✨
There are jewellers who create for the season, and then there are those rare visionaries who design for posterity. Anand Shah, Mumbai-based maestro and one of India’s most original jewelry voices, belongs to the latter. His pieces are never mere ornaments; they are sculptures in gold… textured, fluid, and charged with imagination.
From his celebrated series, where nature was immortalized in metal, to , where he blurred the lines between color and craft, has always treated jewelry as art.
Yet, it is his newest endeavor that feels the most profound.. his revival of , the centuries-old Rajasthani technique of fusing 23k gold on colored glass. Once fading into obscurity, this intricate craft is finding its way back into contemporary consciousness through Anand’s hands, reframed for the modern collector without losing its ancestral soul.
Each year at , I make it a point to stop by his booth. Not just to see the jewels… though they always surprise me.. but to reconnect with the man behind them. Quietly innovative, deeply respectful of India’s traditions, yet endlessly curious about what jewelry can become, Anand Shah represents the kind of designer I will always cherish showcasing in my work.
Because some jewels sparkle. His, however, speak. Thank you for this series 💛✨
