At IIJS Premiere, Shah is presenting lightweight bridal jewellery &#8212; a feat that, he believes, is difficult to accomplish given that his nature-inspired designed bridal lines are generally on the heavier side in weight. &#8220;It took me six months to conceptualise and work closely with my artisans to gauge ways we could cut down on the metal weight without compromising on high design,&#8221; says Shah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-9-img.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-9-img-1024x690.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16375 lazyload\" width=\"457\" height=\"307\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-9-img-1024x690.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-9-img-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-9-img-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-9-img-450x303.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-9-img-225x152.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-9-img-900x607.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-9-img-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-9-img-142x96.jpg 142w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-9-img.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Here\u2019s a bridal necklace with more negative space.

One of the chokers is assembled with an assortment of textured triangles, while the other has two rows of sharp antique gold leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-11-img.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-11-img.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16376 lazyload\" width=\"369\" height=\"479\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-11-img.jpg 769w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-11-img-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-11-img-450x585.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-11-img-20x26.jpg 20w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-11-img-225x293.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/anand-shah-11-img-74x96.jpg 74w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Organic and structured forms in antique gold make this long pendant necklace a statement piece.
