It’s part of the Nirav Modi empire.

A. Jaffe, a jewelry supplier that is among the holdings of jeweler Nirav Modi, is being sold for $5.2 million, Rapaport News reports.

The buyer is Paramount Jewels.

A. Jaffe was part of a U.S. Bankruptcy Court filing in February. Modi’s Firestar Diamond Inc. and Fantasy Inc. were also included.

The bankruptcy filing came amid news that Modi was being investigated by Indian authorities in connection with a massive bank fraud case.

In May, Paramount Gems, an affiliate of Paramount Jewels, had been set to purchase A. Jaffe after placing the winning bid of $8 million, but the deal was canceled. A judge had delayed that deal, saying he needed more information about the value of A. Jaffe and the firm’s relationship with Modi, Rapaport explains.

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson

When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy. Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision." The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
