Hello Peter

Just dropping you a line to say that my proposal went great a few weeks back in Positano, Italy and my new fiancé loves her ring!  Thanks very much for your help, look forward to catching up sometime down the track to organise wedding rings etc.  Cheers.

Joel Hams

My fiancé’s engagement ring was designed by Peter Bakker. She absolutely loved it! Before purchasing the ring I didn’t know much about diamonds or the exact style of ring I wanted to buy her. Peter was fantastic in talking me through the process and showing me different options that I could take. With his guidance and help a stylish and unique ring was designed. I also really appreciated Peter’s honesty and integrity when discussing different options for diamonds. Peter is fantastic I cannot recommend him highly enough! Absolutely go to Peter.

Dear Peter,

I wanted to write a short note to thank you very much for the beautiful ring you created for my now fiance.  The whole experience was special and your extensive knowledge made it very easy to design the perfect ring.  Sophie absolutely loves the finshed product and is amazed that I could choose (with your help) such an exquisite piece of jewellery.  So much so that she’s requesting earrings to match!   Dealing with you from interstate was seamless and I can’t thank you enough for the magnificent result.  Kindest Regards,

Sam Bell

To the Master Craftsman Peter Bakker,
Jarrod and I wish to thank you for creating an exquisite work of art that is an expression of our love for one another. The time you spent with Jarrod during the design process shows not only your commitment and passion for jewellery, but for the people themselves. My ring affects me in so many ways, it is alluring, dazzling yet elegantly beautiful. I am the luckiest girl alive! Thank you again Peter, and we’ll see you soon for our wedding rings!

Brooke (Marshall) and Jarrod,  Brisbane

Peter – big thanks again for doing such beautiful work on our rings…. everything went according to plan and we have now been happily married for 2 days.. off to Thailand tomorrow for the honeymoon … thanks again…

Liam and Rebecca Culverhouse

Hi Peter,

 Thanks  for the beautiful platinum diamond ring you made for Yianni and myself.  I have had so many positive comments and I just love it.

 Thanks again

Laurel  Lubke

Hi Peter,

I just wanted to thank you for the absolutely perfect ring that you made for my now fiancé Jon Irving… I absolutely love it although I keep running in to things because I keep looking at it instead of focusing on where I’m walking……….Thanks again for your hard work. 

Kristy Gentle, Milton

 

G’day Peter, I proposed to Kim on the weekend and she is absolutely ecstatic with the ring, she can’t stop looking at it! It really is stunning, and the sizing guess was spot on!
 
Thanks for doing such a great job and also being so easy to deal with. Will be back for the wedding rings when the time comes.
 
Cheers,

Dennis Morrison, Perth

Hi Peter, I just wanted to extend a very big thank you to you!  The ring is absolutely gorgeous and I love it to pieces.  It certainly made waiting 10 years for it a very worthwhile wait!! Thank you so much

Susan Rose, Brisbane

Hi Peter,  I just wanted to email you to say Thank You for the ring.   I received it the week before Christmas and I absolutely love it. You have done such a beautiful job – it was exactly what I wanted.  Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas.

Catherine Drahm    Japan

Peter,  Ring and earrings were perfect. Thanks – excellent job.  The wife asked me to pass on her appreciation.

 Adam Rolfe      Warwick

 

Living and working in the Middle East as an expat can pose its fair share of challenges. Being another world away from the familiarity and security of Brisbane was only further highlighted when it can time to have the engagement ring made. From the moment I called Peter from Saudi Arabia I knew that professionalism, honesty, attention to detail and ‘old school’ values were only an email away. Over the next few weeks Peter kept me up to date, and the entire ‘work of art’ evolved via email. The final piece was exquisite, and Sandra said yes. Peter’s workmanship and accolades reflect his passion for the trade, both Sandra and I couldn’t recommend a finer Jeweller. Thankyou Peter.

Trent Bastian & Sandra Barlow
Saudi Arabia

Dear Peter, We wanted to say thank you, albeit belatedly, for your help with the stunning engagement & wedding rings you designed for us.  Fiona has received so many compliments about her rings thanks to you.  It was an easy & pleasurable experience choosing & purchasing the engagement ring through you.  Mark enjoyed being educated about diamonds during the process.

Mark & Fiona Chapman, Brisbane

Hi Peter, just would like to thank you again for helping me think of a beautiful design for my fiance’. Searching for several months for the “right ring” was so overwhelming, and was very hard, as I usually found I had to compromise on something when dealing with store jewellers. You made the experience so much easier, and broke the whole design process down step by step. And I (more importantly my fiance’) got a ring that was far above our expectations. Thanks Again,

Andrew Briand    Brisbane

Thanks Peter,  your final price of diamond and platinum ring came in at the same price we could get the diamond only on the internet, so it really helped to be able to choose from the stones you had.  See you soon for the wedding rings!

Tony Davidson. Chevron Island

Hi Peter,   I’d like to thank you again for creating such a beautiful engagement ring for me. I still catch myself looking at it throughout the day – the novelty hasn’t worn off yet.

Pauline Arnold   Rockhampton

It’s been 6 months now since Roz received your creation and not a day goes by without a compliment from a friend or complete stranger.  I have seen women stop and stare!  Anyone in the market for a ring I have pointed in your direction.  Not just for the final product, but the painless journey you took me through to get there.  

Stephen Vincent  Brisbane

During the search for the right diamond, I communicated frequently with Peter via email from Hong Kong. He was able to locate a magnificent cushion cut in a cutting factory in Europe that suited our budget and he personally made it to our design. Now we have an eye-catching ring with breath-taking diamonds. Peter’s hand-on approach gave us great confidence and we would not hesitate to use his services again.  

 Mark Thompson      Central    Hong Kong

Hi Peter,   Thank you so much for the lovely ring that you have created. It was worth the wait!   I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the final product.  

Amy Ritson.  Brisbane

Peter, wanted to let you know the ring has been an absolute unmitigated bonanza of a success….everyone completely loves it most of all the special girl herself……Penny has actually achieved notoriety at the hospital where she works and is now referred to as Dr Diamond.  I’m pretty happy with that outcome!   Many thanks and we all look forward to the next big purchase.  

Dr Rupert Templeman. Gilberton  SA

Hi Peter,  Just emailing to say thanks for making my engagement ring and wedding ring. They are perfect and look just as i imagined. Also thanks for your honest opinion when we were picking the diamond and working within our budget.   Thanks again.

Celeste Stallard.   Brisbane

Hi Peter, I have now recovered from the shock of seeing the gorgeous ring you have designed for us.  And I now want to say thank you, it trully is stunning!!!  I LOVE it.  You really have captured what I was after, which made me realise that this was definitely what I was after!!!  It just takes me that much longer to open any doors as I keep looking at the ring!  There’s even cases where I have actually walked into them!!!  I love the way the diamond is visible from all angles and the way it catches so much light!  It actually manages to shine in the dark!  I Love it!  Thank you again!  

Sophie Guinguard, Sydney

 

Peter,  I just want to thank you again for all of your effort in creating such a beautiful engagement ring. From our unhurried initial meeting discussing what I had in mind, through to picking up the completed ring, the entire experience was a pleasure. The detailed sketch you supplied was great and gave me confidence that the end result would be superb.  The completed ring was even more stunning than I imagined it would be. I really appreciate all of your advice and your pressure-free approach, we will enthusiastically recommend you to friends and colleagues.

Lance McGarva    Brisbane

Peter Bakker has made many one-off jewellery pieces for my family and friends. We enjoy his personal service and always know we are receiving great value. We can happily recommend him.

Terry Peabody     Brisbane

We visited Bakker Diamonds with a range of wedding ring ideas, however no clear concept of what it was we really wanted.  Peter walked us through several options.  His manner was open and supportive, the advice he offered was informed and had great depth and we felt no pressure.  The decision was ultimately our own.  A family heirloom had been passed down the line in the form of an antique engagement ring. We were touched by the significance of the gesture, however we also wanted to ensure that any ring that we were intending to keep for the rest of our lives was our own.    Peter was able to add new life to the antique ring and artistically crafted a beautiful wedding ring that matched the original  down the to the hand engraved finish with the addition of plenty of sparkling diamonds. The finished product is extremely tasteful, a beautiful artistic piece and best of all feels like it is now our own!

Charlie Cush   Brisbane

Hi Peter    I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love the engagement ring that you made for Matt and I.   I’ve been wearing it since Friday and I love the design. It somehow manages to look contemporary yet classic at the same time which is exactly the look I was after.   So thanks once again Peter and thank you too for making it so quickly for us. Now I just need to stop looking at it all day!!     ps I’ve had so many wonderful comments about it!       

Trish Smith

Hi Peter.    Bronwyn absolutely loved the ring, in fact she’s going to ring and thank you herself. She couldn’t wait to show it off to all her friends over the weekend.   Unqualified success.    Thanks once again   

 Gary Mulcahy   G.M. Formal Hire   Red Hill   Brisbane

Peter, I have to say I was very surprised and impressed with Charlie’s new found knowledge of diamonds when he proposed to me with what is now sitting on my finger!
It means so much more to me knowing that Charlie put the time and care into choosing a special diamond just for me and was able to do this thanks to you. Thank you also for all the advice you gave me when I was virtually clueless about what setting I wanted! I absolutely love my ring and thank you so much for the fast turn around to get it onto my finger. We are both delighted with the result will be back soon to get started on the wedding band!    

 Dimity Powell (soon to be Holland)     Brisbane

Peter, Thank you for making a daunting purchase easy and enjoyable. Your ability to inform me about the ins and outs of diamonds and the endless possibilities of settings made me feel comfortable and confident in purchasing a beautiful diamond. Your suggestion of giving Dimity just the diamond for the proposal and then creating a setting together was perfect. Secondly your no fuss attitude while we went back and forth with the actual ring design made the experience for both of us again enjoyable. The result for me is a beautiful ring and more importantly a beautiful wife to be!  

Charlie Holland.  Brisbane

Hi Peter,  I LOVE IT!!!!   You got the ratio between the band and centre stone absolutely perfect.  I LOVE the way the setting sits away slightly from the band…..I didn’t know it was going to do that and I love it!! Its delicate and classic while being contemporary and clean.  The Asscher diamond just looks superb. I really can’t thank you enough…..the whole process was just so easy and the result has exceeded my expectations….which were very high!  See you in a year for the matching wedding band.  

Jane Hill       Brisbane

Nick and I wanted to say a huge thank you for all the time (and extra
time) you spent on creating and crafting our beautiful wedding ring masterpiece. Three months on I still receive comments on how beautiful and unique the ring is and the combination of the wedding ring and engagement ring makes my finger sparkle as the light hits the diamonds from all angles and looks absolutely brand new every day!  Thank you once again, we have passed on your details to friends and work colleagues and we will definitely be back for another ring in due time. 

Regards, Renee Bajic (neeAshdown)        Brisbane

Peter was recommended to me by a close friend who advised me that the guy was amazingly talented and a really good bloke.  It seemed like a good combination to me, but I was even more impressed once I met him.  He designed Jodi’s engagement ring which started with me having no clue about diamonds or design, I just knew I wanted a ring that would make her say yes.  After the first meeting I felt like we were old friends as Peter educated me about diamonds and we worked on a design.  The choice of rocks was amazing, he really understood what I was looking for and he was upfront and comfortable discussing costs. He blew me away with the finished product which was elegant and timeless – and of course got an overwhelming yes from Jodes.  Thank you Peter for such a fantastic job, I look forward to employing your craftsmanship again and highly recommend you to all my friends and colleagues.

Dr. Tom O’Rourke, Brisbane.

Dear Peter, Thankyou for your help with the design and creation of our beautiful engagement and wedding rings; they are exactly what we wanted!

Damon and Jeanette Cox,  Brisbane

Hi Peter,
I have had it on my finger for nearly 48 hours now, and think i’ve only stopped looking at it for about 2 minutes, seriously, it is just sooooo beautiful.  I didn’t want to see it beforehand, so it sat in the bottom of my hand bag until friday night until I got out to Chippenham. Then, FINALLY!!! I got to see it. It is truly magnificent. I absolutely love what you have done. You are very talented.   It is the prettiest ring I have ever seen.   Thank you so much, it is seriously stunning, we cannot thank you enough. You have a fabulous job of making women very happy. Well done!!   Take care and look forward to meeting you when I’m next in Oz.   

Honor Bowman London / Goondiwindi

Hi Peter
Thanks; Sue is very, very happy.  By far better than anything I had seen in the shops.   Thanks again.    

Martin Lee     Brisbane

Peter,  I bloody love it.  You’re a genius.  

Anna Musson (nee McPherson) Brisbane

Hi Peter,
Catherine and I want to thank you once again for providing us with our wedding rings.  You did an amazing job with our engagement ring and so we were delighted to have you make our wedding rings as well.  Once again you have made the perfect rings for us!!
We would have no hesitation in recommending you to all our friends and family, and will look forward to future dealings with you.  Thank you for being involved in a very special part of our day in providing such beautiful rings we will wear and cherish forever more.

Michael & Catherine Knowles     Brisbane

Peter, the ring looked fantastic on Louise’s finger, I proposed to her on Saturday night, and she accepted!  It was at Brett’s Wharf Restaurant in Hamilton, and we shared our 2004 reserve Shiraz from Seville Estate Yarra Valley. I had roses for her as well.  Once again thankyou for being a part in this journey, she had no idea, and she was really gobsmacked! Your service was great, as was the feedback.  The quality of the ring is excellent (stone & band).  I would certainly recommend you to my friends.

Jerry Pavihi,   Brisbane

Thanks mate .  The ring just arrived.  It looks great and the twinkle factor is quite amazing. She will love it   

Andy Harris, Sydney

Thank you again for the great job you did on the ring. Virginia had a good old cry when I gave it to her. She has had so many compliments. Particularly it seems when it captures the light and increases the wow factor. Elegant and timeless what more could you ask.  I look forward to it resting on her finger for the next 50 or so years.  Thanks again and will be in touch we look for our next addition.  best wishes.

   Andy Harris, Sydney

We were mid Pacific Ocean, sailing from the UK back home to Australia, when I emailed Peter about an engagement ring. I wanted something simple yet sophisticated. Shortly after docking in Brisbane we finalised the design with Peter, and weeks later it was ready.  I was on the bus the other day and the man sitting next to me apologised for continuing to look over, as he was just admiring my beautiful ring. Thank you for the ring Peter.  It is perfect!     

Sophie Drum, Brisbane

Peter rang me from Brisbane about a vehicle we had in the yard here in Sydney.  After many phone calls I revealed to him that I was approaching a time where I would be in the market for an engagement ring.  I forwarded Peter the designs that Lisa preferred and he sourced a beautiful cushion cut diamond and made the ring for me. I am yet to meet Peter but his business approach has been impressive and he delivered great design and what I believe from my research, excellent value for money. I would have no hesitation in recommending him. Unfortunately I never sold him the car, but I will endeavour to get him next time!   

Chad Egan    Balmain Prestige Cars, Sydney

I went to Peter with some design ideas and budget for a platinum diamond engagement ring.  He guided me through the diamond selection and ring design process with professionalism, patience and expertise.  No question was too much trouble for Peter to answer, he explains everything so I understood, and this approach gave me the confidence I needed from a Jeweller to give Peter my business.  The end result is an utterly stunning, exceptional quality diamond engagement ring that my fiancé is thrilled and excited to wear on her finger.  Peter’s workmanship and the overall design experience far exceeded my expectations.  I thoroughly recommend Bakker Diamonds to anybody.                       

Martin Cardier, Brisbane

Hi Peter,  the stones you found for us are perfect. It was great to receive them loose, and have the opportunity to ponder the different ways my engagement ring could look. It makes a very special piece of jewellery even more meaningful. The mock-ups you provided were exactly as requested and helped me decide which style to go for. The finished product is beautiful, in fact better than I imagined. You’ve done a fantastic job!

Tracey Lowe   Brisbane

Peter has made my engagement, wedding and eternity rings.  All of them are fabulous.  Peter is always a pleasure to talk to during the design process, and keeps us updated on how the work is going.  We will certainly be going back to see him in the future.  I think I am going to need more fingers!              

Sarah Lane     Brisbane

Thanks Peter, she loved the diamond earrings, everyone does. A great job, on time and on budget!                                                            

Jonathan O’Brien  CBRE    Brisbane

Peter   It is an absolute work of Art!   We can’t believe it’s ours. Everyone, both new and old generations, are over the moon.

The ring is AMAZING Peter.  Couldn’t be happier.  My fiancee is chuffed with it.  He keeps telling me how beautifully crafted it is!  I keep getting so many compliments…surprisingly alot from men (telling me their wives would have loved a ring like mine!).    It is a real work of art, and exactly what I asked for.  Thanks again.             

Helen Conomos     Brisbane

I have used Peter Bakker for both my engagement and wedding rings.  The engagement ring is spectacular and draws comments everywhere.  I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted so I had Peter make it for me.  He is prompt, professional and personal.  I have no hesitation in recommending his services.

Peter Josephson    ABN Amro Morgans
St Lucia

Spending the amount of time I do travelling, I don’t have the time or inclination to walk the streets looking for jewellery.  Peter has been a trusted and professional option.  Peter has individually made several gold and diamond settings for me over the last five years- all of which are timeless and stunning.   I will be calling him again soon.

Greg McCarthy    Bronte     NSW

I have had 3 rings made through Peter over the last few years and I get asked all the time where I got them from.  Peter has had a perfect understanding of what I was looking for in a ring.  In my work my hands are always on view, customers always comment on how unique my jewellery is, especially men.  I could not be happier with each design.

Stephanie Seaby
National Australia Bank
Brisbane

Thankyou very much indeed for manufacturing Kathryn’s engagement ring.  I was absolutely delighted with the design and the quality of the workmanship and, I think it is fair to say Kathryn was ever more thrilled.  The quality of your service and the value for money that I received were excellent.  I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone.  Once again, my thanks for a job well done.

John S Miles
Barrister-at-law
Brisbane

Peter designed my engagement ring for me 2 years ago.  To this day I still get complimentary comments on the quality of the design of my ring.  He was very helpful compared to other jewellery stores who were not terribly interested in what I wanted.  Peter always does what he can to deliver what you want, whether it is looking for certain stones or redesigning.  He listens to what you want and doesn’t force his ideas.  I will always go back to Peter because I know I’m getting quality as well as value for money.

M Musial
Hill End

I used Peter to design and manufacture a ring to match my wife’s engagement ring. The result was a spectacular success. The new ring is very beautiful and much loved. I can certainly recommend Peter’s skill as a manufacturing jeweller, his taste as a designer and his ingenuity in putting the whole thing together.

Douglas J Campbell Barrister-at-law      Brisbane

I have purchased several pieces of jewellery for my wife from Peter. They are sturdy, elegant, eye-catching, beautiful and pleasing to me and my wife. She wears every piece every day and loves them. We tell everyone Peter made the pieces for us. I am already thinking about my next jewellery project – a diamond necklace.

John Hamilton, Lawyer, Brisbane

My friendship and business association with Peter goes back 20 years. I have commissioned several pieces over the years (including an engagement ring) and have always been delighted with the handcrafted results. He is gifted in design and a professional in every sense of the word. With sincere thanks!    

Mitchell E. Bouldin Corona del Mar, California

Peter has been looking after all the jewellery needs of myself, my family and some of my friends for many years from designing intricate pieces to beautiful engagement rings. With no middleman Peter’s prices are always second to none, along with his service and quality of work.

Paul Gleeson, Gleeson Lawyers, Brisbane

Thankyou for the wonderful engagement ring you made for Tony and myself. You made the whole exercise so much easier than we imagined.        

 Sarah Martin, Brisbane

Peter Bakker has produced several fine pieces of jewellery for me over the last ten (10) years including engagement, wedding and eternity rings for my wife. Peter has never completed a piece for me without having my complete satisfaction with the finished product. I have and continue to recommend Peter to friends and acquaintances that may require a special piece of jewellery that cannot be found off the shelf from a jewellery outlet.

Scott Lawes, Paylink, Brisbane

After having engagement and wedding rings made by Peter, we would have absolutely no hesitation in talking to him first for any jewellery in the future. His personal service and assistance was greatly appreciated, and he was able to turn our ideas into something that receives countless compliments.  We have already recommended him to a number of our friends.

Drs. Brett and Cath Collins, Gold Coast

Dear Peter

Many thanks for the beautiful ring. I am thrilled with it. It has come up georgeous. Many thanks for your advice re:- the stones. Hope all goes well with your new shop/ store. Will see you again in the future. Thanks again   

Thanks to Peter Bakker we have an engagement ring that is original, beautifully crafted and universally commented upon. We will be returning to Peter to have our wedding rings designed, and we have recommended him to all our friends.

Peter,
Thank you so much for the creation of such a beautiful engagement ring. It is absolutely stunning and we have received so many wonderful comments on how gorgeous the diamond is and the individuality of the ring design. We can’t speak highly enough of your personal and friendly service, and also the extra effort you put in to have the engagement ring finished within the tight timeframe we hoped for. This ring for us both, is a breathtaking reminder of how special and perfect our marriage proposal was and we really look forward to creating our wedding rings with you.  Thank you again        

Peter,  my ring is absolutely stunning.  Everyone who sees it asks me where did I get such a unique piece.  Thank you so much for your efforts. 

Hi Peter,   Tas and I would like to thank you for the amazing job you did with my engagement ring.  It is absolutely perfect.  I constantly get comments from people as to how beautiful it is.  We really appreciated the way in which you were honest and open in regards to helping us select the diamond for our setting and the regular updates in regards to its progress.  We are so happy, and yes I haven’t stopped staring at it yet!   Thanks again Peter.

Peter, the ring is utterly divine!  

Thanks so much Peter,  you certainly have a satisfied customer in me!   I had a challenging design I liked so I spoke to Peter. He then showed me his design interpretation, working to my budget and tight timeframe. He created a spectacular platinum, pink diamond and white diamond piece that simply blew me away. The quality and workmanship is faultless and the ring is truly beautiful; far better than the finished product I had in mind – I couldn’t be happier!  

S White,  Brisbane

Last year when we were overseas I bought a fabulous bling cluster ring which I loved so much that my husband said why don’t I have a “real’ one made !    I did a little homework and found Peter’s ad in the Brisbane news and made contact. Peter was able to copy the ring for me,  and better still was able to incorporate diamonds from two rings and a pendant which I no longer wore , adding sentimental value to the ring which ended up with 34 stones and a beautiful ring for my 35th wedding anniversary!  I would happily recommend Peter to anyone thinking of having a custom made item.

 Caroline,  Brisbane

Peter,
The ring couldn’t be more perfect!   ’What we’d pictured only better’ is the only way I can describe it. We’re both really delighted with the end result & the compliments on your craftsmanship are flowing fast & furious. I’m still finding it distracting! We are happily recommending your expertise to our friends. Thank you!     

Sarah and Chris.  Brisbane

Hi Peter,    Mark gave me the ring last weekend.  Just wanted to tell you how much I love it. Thank you very much for doing such a nice job.

Dorothee     Brisbane

Peter, What a beautiful ring! Very funky yet still timeless! She absolutely loves it. For someone who had no idea about the process or his fiancée’s dream ring, your insight and creativity was greatly appreciated. Its wonderful to know that there is no other like it in the world. Thank you and best regards.

Tom,   Brisbane

A huge thankyou for the amazing and professional work you did on Lauren’s engagement ring. The quality of your work is simply outstanding. We would highly recommend your craftsmanship to anyone after the perfect ring. We both couldn’t be happier with the final product and look forward to dealing with you again for our wedding bands. We really appreciate the way you looked after us through the whole process. Thanks again!

We can not thank you enough for making our dreams come true.  We received our flawless diamond but we also received flawless craftsmanship, service and professionalism.  I trust our friendship will continue and thank you for achieving what other jewellers couldn’t!  The comments are “WOW!”    

Thankyou Peter for making my dream ring come true !!  When we first saw you we had what we thought was the perfect ring for me – the time and advice you gave us was just what we need in making the big decision.  I love / we love it and its the envy of everyone we show.  Can’t wait to see you in the future for the wedding bands.

Dear Peter,
We had a vague idea of what we thought the ring would be like, but the reality far exceeded our expectations. We are both elated by the end result and thank you for your time and patience. Both not getting much work done as can’t stop admiring your handywork.   Thanks again.  Will be in touch about wedding bands in near future.

Thanks very much for the rings you made for my fiancee and I, she really loved them. We really appreciate your excellent workmanship and your efforts in keeping to our tight dead line. Once again many thanks Peter for your terrific result. 

Pedro,  She has seen it. Loved it. Perfect fit. She cried, she was stoked.

Thanks Peter for the magnificent 3 carat pear-shape pendant you produced for us at Christmas time. I guess we gave you a difficult brief considering your time-line concerns, however you successfully found the stone in a cutting factory overseas, had it shipped and managed to manufacture the piece just in time. Thankfully it was a big hit.   Well done – now for the earrings!       

Peter,  I am thrilled to bits with the earrings. They are absolutely fabulous and just what I wanted – right down to the dangling movement ))  

Dear Peter,   just a quick note on behalf of Julian and myself to say a ‘big’ thankyou for making our dream engagement ring a reality. We’ve received many compliments on it and we couldn’t be happier.  We would also like to thank you for your professional service and the low-pressure consultative approach you use – we were comfortable from the moment we met you. You have made our engagement that little bit more special. No doubt we will be in touch.     

Thankyou so much for my beautiful diamond ring, it has truly exceeded all of my expectations.  The design is just stunning and exquisite, and of course impeccably hand crafted.  The diamond itself is breathtaking and catches everyone’s eye. I’m sure we will be seeing you soon for the wedding rings  

We were only prepared to spend a few thousand dollars with Peter for Andrea’s diamond engagement ring, but compared to what is available in chain stores, we still can’t believe the end result, thanks again Peter, thanks for your honest advice, it’s just great!  

 Andrea and Henry, Brisbane

An exceptional eye for quality and value and a taste for innovation – Peter Bakker excels at his art. We will have no hesitation in using him again or recommending him to our closest friends

Wim Blom, Brisbane

Dear Peter,  we both want to thankyou so much for creating such a beautiful ring for our engagement…….it’s ten fold better than any other out there, the amount of comments I’ve had is amazing. Once again thankyou for your time and effort, we both couldn’t have been happier.

I like to research a product before I buy. I spent hours on the net comparing diamonds and qualities but in the end I wish I had just gone straight to Peter. He sourced an amazing oval diamond for us direct from a cutting factory and set it in a beautifully hand-crafted ring. It’s now obvious to Michelle and I that we’ve saved a lot of money buying directly from Peter. We have recommended him to friends and they are just as happy as we are. I’m told we’ll be visiting Peter again, next time we’re in Brisbane!                            

Andrew Moore, St Kilda

Hi Peter,I proposed to Jacqueline in Tasmania earlier this year with the ring you made for us. She agreed to marry me, so that made for a less awkward flight home. Jacqueline loves the ring and I often catch her checking it out in different lighting and at different angles. We both appreciate your time, effort and assistance in helping to make this a special occasion for us both. I hope you had a great festive season and start to 2011 and weren’t affected by recent the flooding. Thanks

Aston & Jacqueline

Hi Peter,     Love my ring, it looks just as I imagined! Thank you so much for your help, design and making the ring for Luke and I.    Many thanks,

Fiona & Luke    Brisbane

WOW! Thank you so much for everything that you have done for Luke & I, from working with us when arrived on your door step, newly engaged and not really sure that what it was we liked, wanted or imagined, yet you created everything I ever wanted, a ring which sparkles and stands out and I roll over to check its still there every morning! To now, designing and creating 2 wedding bands which are well, just perfect!   Thank you Peter!        

 Fiona & Luke Brisbane

Hi Peter,
 
I just wanted to say that Ivan and I are so happy with our ring!  I love it and the size is now great. 
I look forward to seeing you again in a year for the wedding band for myself and Ivan.
 
Thank you so much!
 
 

Chantel

Hi Peter,
Just letting you know that I gave Lissa the ring on Tuesday night and she LOVED it!!!!
Thanks for the great service, I was very happy with the ring and will definitely recommend you to others,
Thanks again,

Troy

Thanks Peter

Thanks for everything, I love it.

 Cheers, Tammy

 Hi Peter,
 
Thank you very much for the amazing ring you made for Sheri. It is everything she wished for, and more! You made the experience of buying the diamond, to designing the ring a very relaxed and enjoyable experience.
The ring itself is absolutely perfect and exactly what we hoped for. Sheri cant take her eyes off it!
 
Thank you again,

Steve & Sheri

G`day Peter,    Luce and I would just like to thank you so much for the awesome engagement ring. She absolutely loves it.  Being new to Brisbane, I  did a fair amount of shopping around at different jewellers but finally coming across your business was like a breath of fresh air. The way in which you helped with keeping to my budget and the back and forth emails with the design I wanted was all done in such a professional but really personal way. Thanks again Peter for making such a fantastic ring and we look forward to chatting again in a few months to discuss the wedding bands.  I will certainly be recommending your craftsmanship to my colleagues and family.

Phil & Luce.    Canberra
