I have been looking to buy my girlfriend something nice for her birthday, so I dropped by the Kenwood Towne Center in search of a nice necklace at one of the jewelry stores. I didn't see much that caught my eye, so I headed down to the Hyde Park area and found William Effler Jewelers, which was a nice change in pace. In general their items seemed to be of higher quality then much of what was at the mall, and they were friendly but not too pushy like at Kenwood, which can be very annoying. While I didn't end up getting anything there, I did find it to be a great store.
