We came in looking for an engagement ring with minimal expectations.  We had just recently started the process of looking and I am typically very indecisive, so I explained from the start that we were only looking.  Eric was great - he was very personable, didn't push anything on us, was respectful of our budget and actually found many ways for us to get more bang for our buck.  We ended up designing our own ring which allowed me to get exactly what I wanted.  Eric was so knowledgable, kept us updated and informed each step of the way, and made the process so fun (even for my fianc\u00e9).  I just got the ring and couldn't be happier.  I would definitely return here in the future and I recommend Hyde Park Jewelers (Eric specifically) to any of my friends.
