Haggling, deposit paid. Beaverbrooks.

Hi guys, I'm just wondering whether I could now haggle with Beaverbrooks.
I paid a deposit of just under half for a lovely ring. £1000 paid, £1100 left to pay.
I obviously have the receipt and was to pay the rest on picking the ring up.
However, I feel after looking some more that I didn't try to haggle at all, and obviously I already know they're making a massive mark up on the ring already.
Do I have some good grounds to haggle on now? seeing as I have them wanting the rest of the money? or will they just prefer to refund me or get their knickers in a twist as I committed a deposit?
Thanks..

I doubt that they would haggle because you've agreed to a price, but there's no harm in asking!!0
