Peter is an absolute gem—pun intended! What first drew me to him were the glowing reviews describing how warm, personable, non-judgemental, and diligent he is—completely the opposite of a pushy salesperson. And I found they were absolutely right, even after just one phone call. I came in with a chaotic brain dump of pictures, preferences, and a wish list that blended vintage style, practicality, and a nod to my heritage. Peter listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions, and somehow translated all of that into two custom rings that are not only stunning, but deeply meaningful. The diamonds are lab-grown, nearly flawless, and sparkle like crazy—and the price was well within budget (and far more reasonable than what you'd expect from any of the big-name jewellers I looked into). It feels incredible to wear something that reflects both our story and my culture, and I still can’t believe how perfectly he brought it all together. If you’re after something truly personal, crafted with care, and made by someone who genuinely loves what he does—go see Peter. I’m so glad I found him, and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

Peter was straight forward, professional, and experienced to deal with. He produced a fantastic high-quality engagement ring for my fiancée which she adores. He was able to work within my budget which didn’t prevent him creating an affecting piece that’ll last a lifetime.

It was a pleasure to work with Peter to create two rings for my daughters.

I highly recommend Peter for his honesty, reliability and quality craftsmanship.

If you are looking for a jeweller, look no further! I loved the process of designing my engagement ring with Peter. After my first meeting with him, I felt his genuine approach meant I could trust him. He has incredible skill to bring your ideas and images to reality. His craftsmanship and attention to detail is of such high standard. Peter works with you and your budget to create something special. I absolutely love my engagement ring. When we get around to organising a wedding, I will be seeing Peter again to create my wedding band 🙂

I gave Peter a brief and sketches to produce a ring that was not only to be aesthetically beautiful but also to represent certain sentimental elements and he interpreted it perfectly. He was a pleasure to deal with, relaxed, confident and professional. He is indeed a master of his craft and I highly recommend him.

Peter is a true professional. I had absolutely no idea about diamond rings when I first went to see him. He went through with me, everything I needed to know, and from very little information from myself managed to create the most perfect ring. My Fiancé could not believe that I had managed to get it so right! All credit goes to Peter. I cannot thank him enough for helping me and I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Peter....... Legend!!

We loved visiting Peter in the Valley who made the process of curating our wedding rings relaxed and enjoyable. He was patient, easy going and trusting. Peter also guided my partner to create my utmost cherished custom engagement ring. Spending time working through the finest of details, ensuring the best quality within his budget. I highly recommend Bakker Diamonds if you are on the hunt for an exceptional jeweller.
