Stunning Jewelry!!

by aurory13 at Citysearch

Eric Trabert's jewelry is one of a kind. Gorgeous rings with detailing unmatched by other jewelers. He does not create the typical cookie cutter rings. My fiance purchased a ring from his shop for me and it is the most beautiful ring I've ever seen. Modern with an antique twist. I have received numerous comments that my ring is the prettiest engagement ring my friends have ever seen. Eric is able to provide you with what you desire, in your budget and is even willing to ship the item if you don't live nearby. Thank you Eric!!

Best service and great merchandise

by BBCity at Citysearch

I signed up for both Citysearch and Yelp just to write this review. I went to a number of places - from other higher end boutiques to the expensive union square staples to the diamond wholesalers - and Eric Trabert was by far the most helpful and lowest pressure place i visited. Eric answered all my questions, related well to me, and never once made me feel obligated to purchase anything from him.

As a Pac Heights jeweler, Eric's diamonds are pretty high end, but I didn't see anyone out there with comparable diamonds priced any lower. His custom ring choices were extremely delicate, and he was able to customize my ring for a little personal touch. The whole staff was friendly and attentive, and they all remember me in the 3 or 4 times i've been in the store since i bought the engagement ring. I couldn't have been happier with my experience with Eric Trabert.

We traveled 3,000 miles to buy a ring here-- it's THAT good

We came all the way from Philadelphia to buy the engagement ring at Eric Trabert. He was kind enough to talk on the phone with my fiancee multiple times to discuss designs, options, and prices. My fiancee bought the diamond separately and proposed with that, then we went to Eric Trabert together to pick the setting. Devon was awesome and helped us pick a beautiful platinum setting, offered great suggestions, and helped us customize it to exactly what we wanted. She was in touch with us every step of the way, and we'll definitely be making the long trip back for our wedding bands. We couldn't be happier.

• Pros: Customer service, personalized attention
• Cons: Absolutely none

Amazing design, terrific service

by jscholt at Citysearch

When my fiance and I were starting to look for an engagement ring, we visited Eric, mostly because of the great reviews on this site. I was skeptical at first, the shop is so small that I figured it was unlikely we would find anything we liked, as we had been visiting larger jewelers without much success. After talking with Eric for a few minutes, though, I knew that this was a great place. Eric made us feel comfortable and relaxed as we talked about rings, which helped us focus on what we wanted. Designing the ring was important to both of us, and we knew that our ideas for the ring were non-traditional, though Eric quickly got the picture. He was able to translate our ideas into every aspect of the deisgn, from the overall arrangement down to the smallest details.

Eric and his staff were very knowedgeable, helpful, friendly, and understanding. It can be difficult for a guy to walk into a jewelry store with his girlfriend and talk about engagement rings before being engaged, though Eric and his staff understand this, unlike a few other places we visited. Eric was patient enough to explain all of the details of the materials, cuts, etc., and he went out of his way to make everything right for us throughout the process.

The ring that we ended up with is spectacular. It is not covered with enormous diamonds, though it is very unique and it is stunning. It took several weeks for the whole thing to come together (it is actually 3 separate rings), and when I went to pick it up, Eric was almost as excited as I was. I could tell he was proud of the result, and I was surprised at how good it looked. The best part is that since my fiance and I were very involved in the design process, we both feel a strong connection to the ring itself, and the ring means more to us than if we had just picked one out.

I can't recommend this place highly enough, especially if you are looking to create a unique piece of jewelry.
