Set the total budget first
Include metal, stones, fabrication and applicable taxes in each item quotation. The three-group planner can represent, for example, major jewellery, smaller items and gifts. These labels are your planning groups, not seller packages.
Keep quantity and assumptions visible
Use the budget-to-gold tool to explore how the same budget changes with a different rate or making charge. It assumes no stones and no fees beyond those entered. Set aside any contingency outside the maximum-weight result rather than treating it as a purchase commitment.
Save and revisit
Saved estimates retain your inputs, not a locked offer. Before buying, obtain an updated quotation and compare the full bill. Promotions and festival timing do not guarantee a lower all-in price.
