First-time walk-in shopping a single-diamond engagement ring with marriage planned for February. Liked several centre-stone looks (≈14–40¢, white/rose/yellow gold, round preferred over pear) but ready sizes repeatedly ran one size small; order lead time was quoted around 38–40 days. Full breakdown on one piece reached ~₹74,472 with 18kt rate ₹11,360, fixed making ₹7,500 (later discounted to ₹3,500 in calc), and IGI / GH clarity talk. Left without buying after photos were kept on the store phone; invited to the 3rd-floor wedding exhibition (Friday–31 Jul) and asked for a Google review.
