I heard from an SA at the store that they never offer discounts—is that true? If so, wouldn't buying from the official website be the same as buying in-store?

If the online and in-store prices are the same, shouldn't the focus be on after-sales service like warranties and free cleaning?
No discount doesn't mean there's no difference—some mall promotions or credit card cashback can help you save indirectly, but you need to check whether they stack and whether there are thresholds. Don't force yourself to add items just to chase a small perk.
First, check if your credit card has any cashback offers for jewelry purchases.
Sales tax rates vary from state to state. Some states have no sales tax on jewelry, but if you buy across state lines, you'll need to factor in shipping costs and how convenient the warranty will be to use.
Look at it from another angle: what really matters to you—spending less, or buying with peace of mind? If you just don't want to overpay, you can watch secondhand platforms or tax-free states, but you'll need an eye for authenticity and be prepared to accept no official after-sales support. If you'd rather keep things simple, buying through official channels at the same price actually saves you the effort of comparing prices.
SA said the official website is the same as in-store — so can the store help with engraving?
