Not sure if Im typical, but before I got engaged, I knew very little about rings. I visited a lot of shops and never saw a ring that I truly liked. I couldnt really describe it, but I wanted something classy, but unique. In addition, I really wanted to surprise my girlfriend (I know very risky).
On a recommendation, I went to Erics shop and showed him a bunch of magazine photos of rings with notes about what I liked and didnt like. He took these notes and together we came up a beautiful design for a custom ring.
Pros: Excellent custom jewelry with incredible service
Cons: Long lead times for custom jewelry (but worth it)
