Advent International Set to Acquire Controlling Stake in Orra Jewellery for Rs 1,750 Crore
US-based private equity firm Advent International is in advanced talks to acquire a controlling stake in Orra Fine Jewellery, a brand previously owned by India’s Rosy Blue Group, according to multiple sources familiar with the deal. The transaction, valued at Rs 1,500-1,750 crore (approximately $174-203 million), highlights the growing interest from investors in the jewellery retail sector.
Advent is expected to take a 51-75% controlling stake, with Dipu Mehta, Orra’s managing director, retaining a minority share. The private equity firm plans to take Orra public within a few years, and as part of the deal, it will assume management and voting rights.
Orra, founded in 2004 by the Rosy Blue Group, sells diamond, gold, and platinum jewellery through a network of stores across India. With design centres in global cities like Antwerp, Tokyo, New York, and Hong Kong, the company has carved out a niche in the premium jewellery market. The deal is now in the final documentation stages, with an official announcement expected soon.

Precious Metals Rebound As Fed Rate Fears Ease
Recent Volatility In Technology Stocks Pushed Investors To Seek Shelter In Traditional Safe-Haven Assets
Gold and silver surged on Saturday, June 27, building on recent gains after cooler US inflation data alleviated worries about potential Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. This rebound follows a sharp downturn last week, which had dragged bullion down to its lowest levels since November 2025.
Spot Gold: Advanced 1.6% to settle at $4,089.80 per ounce in New York. Spot Silver: Climbed 2.2% to reach $59.15 per ounce. Other Metals: Platinum and palladium also posted gains.
Beyond the macroeconomic data, broader market anxiety fueled the rally. Recent volatility in technology stocks—largely driven by shifting sentiment around Artificial Intelligence (AI)—pushed investors to seek shelter in traditional safe-haven assets. Despite a 1.7% intraday surge on Friday, gold remains on track for its fourth consecutive weekly decline, marking its longest weekly losing streak since August 2023.
Meanwhile, Indian domestic retail prices held steady on Saturday, maintaining their elevated positions. In Mumbai, prices closely mirrored national trends: 24K Gold: Rs. 1,44,300 per 10 grams.999 Fine Silver: Rs. 2,22,850 per kilogram
