Bluestone, a jewellery brand, is in talks to negotiate an investment of around Rs 830 crore from Peak XV Partners, Steadview Capital, and Think Investments.

The pre-IPO round will combine share sales by early investors with new capital, aiming to value the omnichannel retailer at approximately Rs 7,500 crore ($900 million) before the infusion, as per the report.

Venture capital firm Peak XV Partners will reportedly invest around Rs 415 crore in the round. A source speaking to the Economic Times said, “Peak XV is in talks to lead the funding amid a wider inclination for venture funds to tap domestic brands and offline retailers.”

Further, some family offices via special-purpose vehicles might also reportedly participate in the round. The round is expected to be closed in the next few days.

In September 2023, Bluestone raised $65 million from a group of investors at a valuation of $410 million.

VBJ, Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers, India’s most trusted heirloom jewellery brand, has announced its Divine Diwali offer, running until 8th November 2026. The festive campaign brings a range of benefits across gold, diamond, platinum and precious stone jewellery, along with silverware, offering customers greater value as they prepare for the festive season.

Customers can avail 20% off on making charges and value addition (VA) on gold, diamond, platinum and precious stone jewellery and silverware. The campaign also includes 10% off on silver jewellery and Rs 125 extra per gram on exchange of old gold. In addition, customers can avail instant discounts of up to Rs 10,000 on purchases made using HDFC Bank credit cards.

Commenting on the campaign, Amarendran Vummidi, Managing Partner, VBJ, said:

Amarendran vummidi

“Diwali is a significant period for jewellery purchases. Through our Divine Diwali offer, we aim to provide added value across our collections for our customers. The campaign reflects our continued effort to make the festive shopping experience rewarding while offering a wide selection across all jewellery categories.”

Jithendra Vummidi, Managing Partner, VBJ, added:

“Jewellery often carries meaning beyond the occasion for which it is purchased. It can become part of a family’s celebrations and traditions, passed down and worn across generations. At VBJ, our design approach draws on 126 years of experience, bringing together traditional influences, contemporary preferences and close attention to detail. As customers explore jewellery for Diwali, we remain focused on offering a range of designs and standards of workmanship that reflect our legacy while meeting the needs of today’s buyers.”

As a fifth-generation family-run brand, VBJ takes immense pride in its legacy as the creator of the historic Sengol (sceptre) – a sacred symbol of India’s democratic journey. Rediscovered after 72 years through meticulous research by the VBJ team, the Sengol was reinstated beside the Speaker’s chair in India’s new Parliament building, Sansad Bhavan, by Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marking VBJ’s enduring bond with India’s cultural and national heritage. Continuing a legacy of trust and tradition spanning over 126 years, VBJ is now set to unveil its largest jewellery showroom on Coimbatore’s 100 Feet Road.

The Divine Diwali campaign builds on VBJ’s commitment to bringing together its heritage, design expertise and a broad selection of jewellery and silverware for customers during one of the year’s most important festive shopping periods.
