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.
