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.
