    Peter is fantastic! He really took the time to understand what we wanted, and delivered a quality product. The prices were very honest, compared to the competition. We will definitely be using him again.

    Frankly I was at a bit of a loss of which way to go with the plethora of choices, particularly on the internet to purchase jewellery. I work local to Peter’s business and literally rang Peter’s doorbell one day unannounced and sat with him for 20 minutes to see if he could de-mystify the process of buying a quality engagement ring for me. I can honestly say that by the time I left I had decided I would buy from him. He has a great easy manner and I felt very comfortable further exploring my options for a ring with him. We arranged a proper appointment and a week later I went back and we discussed the details of the ring I wanted. Peter explained the differences in diamond class, size and quality and showed me examples of the differences. I had a very good idea of the design I wanted and Peter sketched me a few additional ideas and I left him to come up with the detail. Peter provided me with a digital image mock up a few weeks later and I gave him the go ahead. All a very easy process and I felt confident I knew what I was going to get. As for the result, masterful !….my initial response was WOW and I am not a wow kind of guy, it certainly surpassed my expectations. My now fiancé could not be happier absolutely loves it. I couldn’t recommend Peter more highly. Thanks again Peter

    Peter is an excellent jeweler and genuinely great guy. He is particularly patient when you're not sure which style you'd like. We had a great experience with Peter from first meeting to payment and collection of our rings. I would definitely recommend him to any discerning engagement ring buyer.

    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.

    Peter is cheerful and so chill. All that relaxed cool goes straight into his perfect execution of design and creation. Take a leap of faith and give him free rein. No regrets 😎

    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.

    We went to see Peter wanting a ring for our special occasion. Peter helped us design the perfect ring and delivered on his promise to make us a beautiful piece of Jewelery. We couldn’t be happier. Peter is a highly skilled, old school quality jeweller, which is a rare breed in jewellery business today. I have no hesitation recommending Bakker Diamonds. Thanks Peter

    Peter Bakker has produced several fine pieces of jewelry for me over the 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 jewelry that cannot be found off the shelf from a jewelry outlet.

    Great interactions with Peter. He took me from ideas to the perfect ring and diamond to go with it. Ge took the time to show me the difference between the diamonds available to help make the choice easy. Went back for the Wedding rings which were perfect as well

    Peter went above and beyond what I expected. I was surprised and delighted at the extraordinary service and attention to detail Peter provided. His professionalism in the advice, service and piece he delivered positions him as one of Queensland's leading specialist jewellers. Thanks very much for an outstanding job on the stunning ring.

    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.

  • 5/5 Nick R. 5 years ago on Google
    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.

    Wouldn't hesitate in recommending Peter. I gave him a brief to re-design my engagement ring and it is perfect. Simple & modern, exactly what I wanted. Just need to find the time to have some other older pieces updated. Thanks Peter!!

    We were more than happy with the ring that Peter created. He incorporated diamonds from a ring that was passed down through the family and designed a beautiful and unique piece with very minimal input from us. Peter advised us to trust him and we did. Excellent service.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Buying an 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 cost effective than you think! Thanks Peter!

    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

    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. 😂

    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!

    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 is nothing short of the best jeweller you could ask for. My wife had a very 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 no further people, Peter is your man.

    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.

  • 5/5 Braden O. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 David N. 2 years ago on Google
    After spending some time 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!

His craftsmanship and the quality of his work is simply beautiful. Peter was patient, helpful and gave unbiased advice to deliver my dream ring, and within our budget. Peter, thank you so much, I just love it. Wedding bands next!

    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

  • 5/5 Girinath k. 4 years ago on Google
    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!

  • 5/5 Lachlan R. 4 years ago on Google
    Bakker Diamonds provides a level of service and quality that is second to none. Peters attention to detail and craftsmanship can only have been obtained through decades as a first class jeweller. Highly recommended!
