Peter did an exquisite job with my engagement ring! Had my heart set on a design I saw online but was too scared to purchase something from overseas. Peter took this design, personalized it for us, keeping it within our budget and made it even better. I'm proud to wear my hand-made ring and I get compliments on it weekly! Knowing he's around for any repairs it may need in the future was just the icing on the cake and I know my ring will last my lifetime.

Peter made a beautiful engagement ring for me. I didn’t have a lot of knowledge about getting a ring made however, he made the process easy and he was very efficient. The ring is beautiful, exactly what we wanted. It needed to be resized and he did it by the next day. Will definitely go back to Bakkers diamonds and would happily recommend Peter. Thanks Peter!Osiris and Bridget

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!!

Peter made the most beautiful engagement ring. He helped my fiancé pick out a beautiful setting and diamond and created the perfect ring to propose with.

Peter was welcoming and so helpful. He talked us through the whole process and reassured us with his extensive knowledge on diamonds and designing rings. The engagement ring was absolutely stunning! His workmanship is pristine. Couldn't recommend Peter high enough.

I recently purchased an engagement ring from Peter and the whole experience was amazing. I had a rough idea on what I was after and went in to chat to Peter, he drew a rough sketch on the spot explaining what would work best in his opinion and he absolutely nailed it. The ring came out better than I could have imagined and the whole process was made easier by his assistance. He was very flexible and helpful with making sure it was done on time for my holiday which made my life a lot less stressful. Could not recommend highly enough to anyone! Cheers Peter!

From the first meeting I had with Peter I knew I wanted him to make my girlfriends engagement ring. I had no idea what ring to buy my girlfriend, and she had no idea what she wanted, but Peter gave me tips on how to subtlety get the information I needed and eventually he came up with an incredible design. I could not recommend Peter more, great service and just an all round great guy. My now fiancé loves the ring and I couldn’t be happier!

Thank you so much Peter! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my ring. It’s unquestionably perfect and I couldn’t have wished for anything better. Six months on I’m still catching myself staring & admiring my gorgeous engagement ring. I have had so many compliments – lots of ‘Oh wow!’ and ‘That is beautiful!’ The quality & finish of your work is undeniably the best! So so so incredibly happy! I now can’t wait for you to make our wedding bands to finish. Thank you so much peter – We love your work! Couldn’t recommend enough! Bek & Dan

Being located out of Brisbane we visited Peter once to get the ball rolling and from there handled it all through phones and email. Peter was great from the start and guided us without being pushy. It was evident he was worthy of the acclaim we'd heard. The end result was spectacular and the process was smooth. Thank you Peter!

Couldn’t be happier with Peter’s service, communication or quality workmanship. He custom Made me an absolutely amazing ring and was extremely helpful throughout the process. The ring was valued for substantially more than I paid him to make it, and he resized it for us free of charge. Peter will be my sole point of contact for all my future jewellery needs.

Peter is a fantastic jeweler. From our first meeting to the final payment and pick up of our rings, we couldn't have been happier with the experience.He is very personable and happy to work with you, especially when you are undecided of what particular style and look you are after. The end product also exceeded what we expected and we were extremely pleased.

Peter Bakker is honestly the best! Peter a lovely man, so easy to deal with and really makes the whole jewellery making experience fabulous! I still love my engagement ring 10 years on, I remember 10 years ago when we picked up my engagement ring it was just as I imagined and more! Since then Peter has designed and made wedding bands for my husband and myself, earrings, and an Eternity ring just to name a few! Fiona Conde - Ray White West End

My husband and I have all of our wedding rings from Peter. He put my Husband's mind at ease in the first meeting as you know that when you are working with Peter you are getting not only exceptional client service, but quality diamonds at a reasonable price. Peter has also worked on my Mother's jewelry and assisted with their maintenance and restoration of some pieces. The quality of his work is like no other.

I found Peter on the internet when I was searching for an excellent jeweller in Brisbane to make up an engagement ring and wedding ring about two years ago. After searching his vast website, I had the opportunity to meet Peter in person. He is very personable and easy to chat to and is a fund of information. I also found he has great ideas and suggestions which he is more than willing to share with you. Me being very much a novice, I found he was very helpful in coming up with suggestions for my now wife's engagement ring and wedding ring, which I might add she is extremely happy with and has had many compliments on her rings since.I could not recommend Peter more highly as a jeweller and I definitely would not hesitate in going back to see him in the future.Will Rutledge.Honiara.Solomon Islands.

Trying to find an engagement ring for my partner, I went to a number of jewellers before coming to Bakker diamonds. After meeting Peter, however, I knew I wanted him to design and create our engagement ring. Peter was very informative and offered constructive insight and advice every step of the way. He was very patient during the design process and went above and beyond in order to create the ring we had in our minds. We both love the ring which he has made and will absolutely be coming back! I would recommend Bakker diamonds to anyone who is looking for excellent service and great craftmanship. 10/10 all the way!

Peter is from the old school mould. Nothing is too much trouble for him and he goes out of his way to ensure you get the quality you pay for. Have utilised his talents over the years and he has never disappointed. Listens to you’re ideas, and then turns them into reality. Thoroughly recommend him.

Peter is a genuinely top guy who does the highest quality, handmade work. My wife's engagement, wedding and eternity rings are beautiful and we never worry about diamonds coming loose. In an industry full of sharks, Peter is a shining beacon of hope. We've recommended him to numerous friends and family and wouldn't hesitate to return to him for future projects.

Peter has made multiple rings for me over the past 10 years from the first ring I had made for my now wife to her engagement ring and both our wedding bands. I have also referred my sister in law who got a new engagement ring, earrings and had her old engagement ring turned into a pendant. The first time I had a ring made I met with almost all the jewellers in Brisbane and peter was by far the most professional and straigh up. He left me confident that the ring I would receive was going to be exactly what I had asked for. And the end result far exceeded my expectations. His craftsmanship and attention to detail are second to none. Both my wife and I get compliments about our rings almost every day. If you are looking to get a piece of jewellery made no matter how big or small I guarantee you will over the moon with what peter will be able to do for you.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Peter for helping my fiancé design my engagement ring. He is so grateful you made the experience so enjoyable and especially so simple! My ring is so unbelievably beautiful and the quality of the make is incredible! I have received so many compliments and am feeling extremely lucky! We will be returning for our wedding bands. Thank you again! Vince & Meghan

I would recommend Peter to anyone searching for that perfect personalised engagement ring. From start to finish Peter was really helpful at every step.I was so happy with the end result and my now fiance can not stop looking at her ring and saying how much she loves it, that is the end result I wanted and Peter made it happen. Thanks again and we will be back for the wedding band.

I had a really good experience with Peter! It was my first time going to him, and we had an initial chat about the piece I had in mind (and I gave him a couple of heirloom rings to utilize), then I sent him a few photos of examples, we had one more meeting, and then he produced a piece that perfectly matched what I was after, came in under the budget we’d discussed, and most importantly my other half loved it. I would definitely go to Peter again.

Greg Lee

Couldn't be happier with the engagement ring I purchased from Peter. His knowledge and service in helping me from the first consultation to the finished product was superb. Will definitely be back for the wedding rings.

Douglas Mackay

I've had a couple of rings designed and built by Peter over the years. The quality of the diamonds and the overall build quality (i had platinum bands) has been fantastic. The pre and post sales personal interactions were great, that and the quality of the product sets a high bar.

Michael Bishop

10:17 19 Jun 19

Peter is nothing short of the best jeweller you could ask for. My wife had very a specific design for her engagement ring and after being told multiple times that the ring could not be made (by other apparent high end makers some that actually made us feel like it was a hideous idea) a good friend put us on to Peter, and are we glade they did. From the start Peter was excited by our design and worked with us with no BS and within our budget to make my wives dream engagement ring a reality. We worked in partnership with Peter and he worked within a tight time frame to have it ready for our engagement party. Thanks Peter your an absolute professional and a craftsmen, can not recommend you enough. Look not further people, Peter is your man.

Fantastic service! I came to Peter after looking at diamond rings in other shops and I was blown away by the quality and value offered! I had a very small amount of time to have a custom ring made as I was heading overseas, Peter managed to create a beautiful custom ring in a very limited amount of time! Thank you very much!

Bex Beavan

Super happy with my engagement ring, and delighted with the service from start to finish. Peter clearly knows his stuff and was very patient in discussing ideas and going back and forth a little with photo inspiration, as well as offering his expertise. I was so impressed with his sketch - and his ability to interpret the few ideas I had - it was perfectly detailed, and made me feel confident in giving Peter the go-ahead to to make it.It’s now been sitting pretty on my finger for a week and it’s a dream to have such a unique and custom-designed piece! It fits perfectly, and is something very special indeed. I am still stopping in awe every time the light hits different angles and I see another sparkle! The boy did good!Many thanks to Peter for your magical work!

Peter has provided a perfect experience, from helping to design the engagement ring bringing it to life and then on to match our wedding bands as well.It was such a pleasure to have Peter make our rings, no stress at all from our end and his traditional pride in his workmanship shows through in the level of detail and passion he puts in each piece. Thank you once again Peter for perfect rings. Can not reccomend you highly enough! These rings will become family heirlooms for generations to come.

Best jeweller EVER.We came to Peter to design my engagement ring together, he spent months sourcing the perfect diamonds for our design, eventually coming up with even better than we had hoped for, under budget!His designs are thoughtful and elegant from every angle, he worked very hard for us to keep the ring low profile without diminishing the sparkle and I could not be happier with the finished product, it is hard to look away from!Peter was very patient and an absolute pleasure to deal with, no pressure to buy or sales tactics or pushing particular designs on us, he listened to our every need, then exceeded any expectation we could have ever had. Excellent communication throughout and was happy to make little design tweaks for a truly perfect ring for the ages. We can't wait to have our wedding bands made by him and would recommend to anyone looking for quality and great value!

The engagement ring that I got for my partner is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. Of course, just like everyone else, I would say that too, why wouldn’t I?? What is even more important, is the whole purchase experience I had with Peter. One of the most experienced craftsman within his industry, yet the easiest and the most humble as a person, to deal with. I have no idea about diamonds or rings, he had a few options ready for me based on the budget I had in my mind. Not only that, he also took his time to explain why the size, clarity and other aspects aren’t the only important things to consider, but what’s even more important is the balance of all the aspects and how well it fits my fiancé’s tiny little centipede fingers. The after service follow-ups have also been great so far!Highly recommended!

05:57 07 Jan 20

We've bought the engagement ring and both wedding bands from Bakker Diamonds over the past 18 months, and can't fault Peter's knowledge or workmanship.He talked me through the whole process of the ring design, and gave great options within budget.This was the easiest part of getting married. ????

03:39 08 Jan 20

Amazing service provided by Peter and can't compliment him enough. With only a short timeframe and limited design concept Peter was able to produce the perfect engagement ring. After my first consultation with Peter I left feeling very confident about the whole process. Peter took the time to source and provide a number of amazing stones and helped with the process of choosing. He did some research on the designs I was interested in and also came up with a couple of design ideas. The final product was perfect and my partner is absolutely in love with the ring. Peter is the ultimate professional and will make you feel confident through the entire process. I will definitely be returning for our wedding bands. Thanks Peter

Joshua Lumley

10:43 03 Aug 20

We highly recommend Peter. He was able to use what little knowledge I had on engagement rings and create the perfect ring for my fiancé. Peter takes the time to guide you through the process and educate you on all things diamonds in an easy manner and without any sales tactics or obligations.

Buying a engagement ring is probably not something you do often, but Peter makes the process a dream.He is the consumate professional who knows what you want before you want it. Peter guided me through the ring process which led to one happy future wife and all her friends messenging me to comment on what an amazing looking ring.Don't go to a chain store, go to Peter and get a one of kind design that is more price effective than you think!Thanks Peter!

After visiting multiple jewelers, no one was as thorough as Peter. Many jewelers told me how they wanted to design the ring, but only Peter was patient and understood what I wanted to design. He was a pleasure to work with and made the whole process easy, ensuring I was happy the whole way. In a tight time schedule, Peter created the most beautiful ring for my now fiancé. He is a true craftsman, and I look forward to working with him on a wedding band in the future.

After spending sometime trying to find the right diamond jeweler for an engagement ring, I came across Bakkers Diamonds. The 5/5 reviews had me intrigued so I booked an appointment. After speaking with Peter, I knew straight away that he would be the one! Peter was very personable, patient, honest and understanding. He took the time to understand what I was after and knew that I had a budget to stick to. He helped me with designing the ring and sourced the perfect diamond. On top of that, his prices were surprisingly reasonable. Ultimately, my now fiance is very happy with the ring and cannot stop staring at it (it has been over a month since she said yes!). The quality and workmanship is clearly evident a she gets compliments wherever she goes. I am so glad I engaged Peter and would recommend his services to anyone. Thank you Peter for being apart of this milestone in our lives. I will definitely be returning for the wedding bands! Thanks and will see you soon!

I have known Peter for many years and he has made several jewellery pieces for me and my family. His craftsmanship is outstanding, if you require hand crafted jewellery that is truly unique I would highly recommend that you see him. Excellent service and quality.

22:03 23 Mar 23

I absolutely love my new rings. The engagement ring is exquisite with exceptional craftsmanship with the diamond emitting light from every angle. I get many many compliments. The wedding band is exactly what I was after. The band of diamonds with an illusion of a spacer ring to ensure both rings work in unison. Peter has been amazing with his communication and is such a delightful man, I highly recommend him to anyone wanting quality craftsmanship and personal service. Thank you so much Peter. These are rings to cherish forever.

Just got my custom designed engagement ring from Peter - it’s been a wonderful experience. He was great to work with, fairly priced and made me an absolutely beautifully crafted ring! He was also really flexible when we wanted a few adjustments.10/10 would recommend!
