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!!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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. Eric had a small selection of very nice stones in the range I was looking for. Every one that I looked at was high quality and after previously comparing prices versus internet sites like Blue Nile I found they were very well priced relative to online and much better priced than other local stores. Plus after seeing of variety of stores and seeing stones of all sorts of different ratings I can tell you seeing a stone in person is important. Additionally he has amazing selection in bands so really your options are huge there. For me though the most important part was how I felt with he and his staff were amazing and really made this purchase simple for me. I'll be going back there again for wedding bands and any jewelery onwards. Pros: Low key, great prices, beautiful stuff, great people Cons: Parking can be tough.

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 :) Thank you Eric and team...his assistant is another great asset and helped me out and was a special part of this once in a lifetime experience. Pros: Great Service Cons: Good question - i couldnt find one

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

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. The stone is truly gorgeous and hasa quality to it that surpasses what you would expect from simply knowing the 4Cs - it has a radiance and "whiteness" that I've never seen in even a perfect D color diamond (and this one isn't a D, although girls will ask me if it is because it's so amazing), and the ring itself is set so gorgeously, in a dainty, classy way (it is a pave setting, with little diamonds in the platinum band). Eric completely understood what we were hoping for, and nailed it. **He understands things about the diamond as well as the setting that require taste and judgment.** I wouldn't trust anyone else more. And do be careful, as many jewelers judge rings only by the 4Cs and give you clunky settings, both of which are HUGE missed opportunities to make the most of your money and of your ring. I will leave my fiance to write about the process, but I've heard him rave about how patient Eric was, how he never felt pressured to choose a stone - they went through order after order, but Eric gave him his honest opinion on each and they continued to send off for more stones - until they found the very perfect one. No review could do Eric justice more than seeing my ring - it is truly the most gorgeous I've seen on anyone! Definitely see Eric if you are looking for very classy, elegant, high quality jewelry! His taste and judgment are unsurpassed!! 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
