Buying jewellery & watches in Darbhanga
Darbhanga is the cultural centre of the Mithila region, with a palace complex from its princely past and a painting tradition that is known internationally. The district is also the country’s main producer of makhana, the fox nut, which is a genuine local industry.
Ring sizes and chain lengths are simple to state and surprisingly easy to get wrong, and an alteration afterwards can cost a fair share of the purchase. Trying a piece on before money changes hands avoids that entirely.

Collecting it in Darbhanga
It fits in a pocket, so the handover is the easy part and the only real question is where. Somewhere busy and public in daylight suits both sides better than either home, and no reasonable seller minds being asked for that.
The station and the area around the palace are the landmarks everyone uses. The older parts of the city are dense, so agree a main-road point for anything large.

Bring any box, certificate or receipt along, as documentation is worth real money in a category nobody can verify for you. Lifts sharply before Christmas and again around Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.
UPI has largely replaced cash for in-person handovers and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. Cash on delivery is still widely expected for anything posted, and it is worth deciding your position on it before you list.
