I spent a long time researching rings and looking at the well known retailers (T, C & HW) for my then girlfriend (she said yes!). Let me start off saying that the #1 thing you need when building a ring for your loved one is someone you trust to help find the right diamond. It is not just about the 4Cs (believe me, I had a spreadsheet to analyze pricing versus 4C characteristics). You need someone to help you assess which diamond is high performing and simply looks amazing. And that is hard to quantify. So that leads me to this - Eric is that guy. He is trustworthy, has great judgment and excellent taste. He is never pushy, listens extremely carefully, and will look very hard for the right diamond. I was very specific and he found an absolutely amazing stone. But gentlemen, that is only half the battle. You need to trust someone to craft a beautiful ring that highlights the stone and would look just right on your fiancee to be. And that is the other thing that Eric delivered on -- even beyond my (admittedly very exacting) standards. He did such a fantastic job -- I would recommend him to anyone (regardless of budget, including those willing to pay the upper ranges of what you would pay at any of the well known retailers). To sum up, he can help you whether you are a hedge fund monkey or a PhD student.
Pros: Amazing service, excellent taste, delivered beyond expectations
Cons: Be sure to look at the custom pieces, not just the displayed work
