PETER

Award winning, locally owned and operated, Peter Shakes Jeweller is headed by Peter who has 40 years jewellery experience, hand making custom made jewellery in beautiful originally inspired designs including platinum engagement rings in elegant custom design jewellery

Investing in hi-tech equipment like laser welders and computer design jewellery software enables the factory to tackle complex and skilled manufacturing tasks for the local and export market. Proud of manufacturing quality New Zealand made jewellery, Peter has resisted the trend of other jewellery companies to make or source their product overseas, consequently the Wellington based factory is one of the biggest in New Zealand.

Here Peter is hand setting a 2ct GIA certified D flawless round diamond into a custom built CAD designed platinum solitaire engagement ring. All of the jewellery is hand made right here in our 3rd floor high security Wellington factory using a combination of Matrix and JewelCad CAD drawing and rendering software and the latest wax 3D rapid prototyping printing machines running 24/7, complemented by traditional hand making methods.

Conceptual design is Peter's greatest interest and he can design a truly original bespoke item of jewellery just for you. Peter is responsible for the original idea behind the extremely successful Webs of Gold pendants that are sold in over 20 States in the USA.

Trained as a traditional jeweller after completing an apprenticeship in a leading Wellington jewellery factory, Peter also draws his designs using CAD software.
