Buying jewellery & watches in Purnia
Purnia is the commercial centre of the Seemanchal region and a major trading point for jute and maize, sitting on the routes towards the north-eastern states. It has grown substantially as a regional market town.
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.
What to check in person
Examine the settings closely and press each stone gently to feel for movement, since a loose one is easily lost. Look at the shank of a ring for thinning where it has been worn, and check any solder joins where a repair has been made.
Collecting it in Purnia
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 market area and the station are the two landmarks everyone knows. Goods traffic is heavy on trading days, so allow more time than the distance suggests.

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.
