50-year-old jeweler turns to Monetary Metals to grow its Dubai and Sharjah footprint

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Monetary Metals, the global Gold Yield Marketplace® platform, announces that it has completed a gold lease financing transaction for Kavitha Gold and Diamonds, LLC. ("Kavitha"). The lease finances Kavitha's jewelry inventory for its expansion in the UAE, with further expansion planned through 2027.

Kavitha is a well-established regional jewelry retailer founded in 1976 in South India. It operates 12 showrooms across India and 2 showrooms in Dubai and Sharjah, with plans to expand its retail presence across key UAE locations through 2027. 

Monetary Metals' innovative true gold lease structure enables a physical gold-denominated lease facility, where clients retain title to their metal throughout the term.   Every ounce is protected by tamper-evident RFID tracking and daily inventory reporting from TJS Inc., the asset assurance leader recently acquired by Monetary Metals.

Because Kavitha leases the gold rather than buying it or borrowing it, the company avoids gold price exposure and the burden of traditional debt financing, unlocking fresh capital to open new locations.

The lease simultaneously adds to Monetary Metals' growing roster of premier UAE jewelry clients and advances the company's mission of putting more of the world's idle gold to work. Rather than sitting in storage and accruing fees, gold owned by Monetary Metals' clients earns a compounding yield, paid in gold.

Keith Weiner, CEO and founder of Monetary Metals, said:

"Kavitha has spent five decades building its name in jewelry, and now it is bringing that experience to the UAE. A gold lease lets them stock their new showrooms with physical gold without tying up cash or taking on price risk. At the same time, our clients put gold that would otherwise sit idle to work and earn a yield on it, paid in gold. This is the future of gold. We are proud to bring Kavitha onto our gold yield marketplace platform."

Prasad Thozhuthu Parambil, Director of Kavitha commented:

"When it came to financing options for our new Dubai showrooms, Monetary Metals was at the top of our list. They have demonstrated a deep understanding of our industry and have proven themselves to be a reliable financing partner for the region. We are excited to close this deal and look forward to doing more as we fund our expansion plans into 2027."
