Trabert Goldsmiths

I noticed many dealers are buying their jewelry from isaybid and reselling on craigslist for 10-20 times the amount. Check isaybid for quality jewelry for pennies on the dollar! more

I believe the best prices on jewelry are at\r -\r http://www.isaybid.net\r -\r many companies are buying over at http://www.isaybid.net\r and trying to resell the jewelry at incredible mark ups, sometimes 500% check isaybid.net first before making a purchase.\r \r Engagement,Necklaces,Rings,Bracelets,Earrings,Watches,Sunglasses,Gifts,Baby,Jewelry,Vintage/Antique,Fine Art,Amethyst,\r Emerald,Garnet,Gold,Metallic,Opal,Pearl,Peridot,Ruby,Sapphire,Silver,Tanzanite,Topaz,Aquamarine,Citrine,Diamond more

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!! more

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. more

Experts in the world of diamonds. Excellent diamond, quality/siz. Extremely impressed by the final product. I highly recommend Eric's store. more

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 more

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. more

I have visited the jewelery store several times this year and each time I walk away feeling like I was their only customer. Eric provided me such personalized service I thought the store was there for me only. He took the time to get to know me and was able to create the perfect custom design for me (and I would have never found anything close to it at any other jeweler). His knowledge of stones and designs is impressive. The quality of his work is amazing and impeccable. I will continue to go back to Eric Trabert Goldsmiths for all my jewelery. Pros: Extremely knowledgeable staff more

I had done a lot of shopping around from online to on foot and but when I walked in and was greeted by Devon and Eric I felt right at home. Pros: Low key, great prices, beautiful stuff, great people Cons: Parking can be tough. more

I was researching for over 6 months while saving my dollars. I did everything from blue nile to jewelry exchange, with many others in the middle. After all of that research I discovered Eric's location. I went by a few times and asked people after leaving the store about their experience and items purchased - everyone had positive and encouraging things to say. Finally, I went in with a ready to buy mentality. Eric still took his time to educate and help me make my decision between round and ascher cut and crafted me the perfect band with pavee diamonds. I walked out spending the exact amount i wanted to spend. He even rushed the order in 2 weeks to ensure I was able to follow through with my engagement plans. All in all incredible! I have referred a few friends, but told them they cant get the same ring i got -- it is custom and only for my girl :) Pros: Great Service Cons: Good question - i couldnt find one more

It felt like switch & bait at Eric Tabert's. I have been shopping for a unique custom made engagement ring and saw the reviews about custom designs and thought this would be the place. When I went on their web site "all" their links take you to mass produced brand names. Still believing the reviews about custom work I went to the store thinking there would be more to select from in their store only to find a "very tiny" store with the same jewelry I have seen in other jewelry stores but with a somewhat smaller selection. This was a waste of time. Pros: easy to find Cons: small inventory more

I spent a long time researching rings and looking at the well known retailers (T, C & HW) for my then girlfriend (she said yes!). Pros: Amazing service, excellent taste, delivered beyond expectations Cons: Be sure to look at the custom pieces, not just the displayed work more

My fiance worked with Eric on my engagement ring and we could not be happier!! I can hardly do my ring justice with words. **I hear almost every day that it is the prettiest ring people have ever seen, and I have to agree. ** We looked for months and months all over New York and San Francisco at rings, and my ring is more beautiful than anything we saw at any independent jeweler, Cartier, or Tiffany. I honestly felt my fiance almost did too much, as it most closely resembles a ring I loved at Tiffany that cost over $100,000. Pros: made for me the most gorgeous engagement ring I've ever seen! Cons: none - I couldn't recommend him more, although the rings in the store don't always do him justice more

If you are a guy out there looking for an engagment ring...read here first. I was the typical guy who wanted to surprise my girlfriend with an outstanding engagement ring. You know, not too bling, but not a ring that people would look at and say, "oh, that's cool, congratulations." Eric Trabert is ABSOLUTELY the place to start and end and here's why... Pros: The review sums up all pros...and there's a ton of them! Cons: NONE more

My fiancee and I found Eric Trabert on Citysearch thanks to other positive reviews. We were not disappointed. Eric listened to what my fiancee was looking for, provided excellent recommendations and then designed a beautiful engagement ring to match an heirloom wedding band. The attention to detail throughout the entire process was exemplary. Eric listened to our budget and desires in terms of the center stone and provided us with a wide range of beautiful choices at competitive rates. Once we chose the diamond, he then prepared a wax casting of the new design which we were able to view and approve in advance. Eric was able to put a slight rush on the construction for us; I had a particular proposal date in mind and he delivered on time. The final result was stunning and pairs perfectly with our existing piece. Overall, we were extremely pleased with our experience with Eric Trabert Goldsmiths and highly recommend him to others! Pros: Customer Service, Quality Cons: Parking more

My fiance and I found Eric through the internet when we were looking for a jeweler who could create a very specific design we had in mind. We had worked with a custom jeweler before and the experience left us a bit nervous because the ring had come out 80% the way we wanted but we reached a point with the jeweler where he just insisted what we wanted couldn't be done. When I asked Eric about his revision process he told me he did not have one, "I get it right the first time". I had trouble believing this but after picking up our new ring yesterday I can say with complete certainty that he does indeed "get it right the first time". Our ring looks amazing. My fiance is very detailed oriented and knew exactly what she wanted and Eric delivered perfectly. Before undertaking the project we were able to sit with Eric for quite some time going over every single detail. He really listens if there is something that is difficult or can't be done he doesn't just leave it at that. He really explains the process and the limitations so you know why something won't work. We asked him to do something more difficult than he had ever done before but instead of talking us out of it he stepped up to the challenge. If you are looking for a custom jeweler you really must visit Eric. He'll make you very comfortable and his work is unmatched. Right after picking up our ring we headed to Tiffany & Co. to look at bands and the store rep actually stopped to examine the ring and said that he thought the milgrain on their rings were fine until he saw ours. more

Our first experience of Eric Trabert Goldsmith's was dropping in on a rainy Sunday to browse the display cases. Eric was there and was very friendly and welcoming. When I needed an engagement ring, I immediately thought of that visit and went back to Eric for a consultation. He had some really great ideas and was very flexible, taking into consideration our design ideas. The whole experience was a real pleasure and was the start of a great relationship with ourselves and Eric & Kristy. We went back for our wedding rings, my bridal gift for my wife on our wedding day and subsequently, other gifts for family members. Pros: Unique design, customer focused, warm and welcoming store, a great finished product Cons: None at all more

Before he proposed, my fiance and I did a little ring browsing. I had an inkling that he was thinking of proposing, but didn't really know, so it was just a casual stroll from time to time when we happened to see a jewelry store. We browsed through many different jewelry stores in the city and when we visited Eric's store, my fiance knew he found the right one. The store has a wide array of rings to choose from no matter what your style or preference. I like the antique look, but wanted something new, and didn't find too many stores that carried that style, however, I found a ring I fell in love with at Eric Trabert's. Not only are there rings, but also other custom made jewelry, like necklaces and earrings. I must say, the stuff in that store is gorgeous! Kristy and Eric are both very helpful, friendly and down to earth. They made the experience of just browsing fun and easy. No pressure. Two weeks after our browse through Eric's store, my fiance popped the question. I was really surprised! I think if it wasn't for them, my fiance would still be searching for that perfect ring buying experience. I think it is really important to feel comfortable buying an engagement ring because it is a big step and my fiance has mentioned time and time again how much the experience was enhanced because Eric and Kristy were both honest, nice and personable. We went back to look at wedding bands and highly recommend their store for excellent service and beautiful jewelry. more

My advice to any guy getting started in the engagement process: Do your homework on diamond characteristics/prices, have at least a vague idea of what you want for a band, know what you're willing to spend, and go talk with Eric. He is very straight about what he can do for you. I ended up buying a diamond from ET, but he was equally willing to help me through the process had I brought one in from elsewhere. After discussing the option of ET fabricating a custom band for me, I ended up finding a great band in one of the collections that he features. more

Eric will work with you to design and hand-build the most beatiful rings and jewelry you have ever seen. Given that for most the purchase of an engagement ring is one of largest and biggest decisions of your life, you really need to know you are with an expert and artist you can trust. more
