Peter Katsoolis master jeweller / diamond setter, since 1971
Peter Katsoolis has been involved in the Jewellery industry for 48+ years and has worked for himself for 32 of those years in both manufacturing and retail.
"I fell in love with gemstones from the age of ten when I use to go to the Griffith Lapidary Club and cut and polish semi precious stones that we had found on family trips to the gem fields.
That progressed to me heading to Sydney at the age of fourteen and a half to begin the first of 2 apprenticeships with Park Lane Jewellers, firstly as a jeweller then secondly as a diamond setter. In the last year of my time in Sydney I attended the GIA to study gemmology, as well as learning the art of engraving and carving. All these skills set me up for my first manufacturing/retail business in Taree.
The passion for making original pieces of jewellery and working with clients to attain something special is still my priority today. Regardless of your requirements, I am always available to talk about and quote your needs, repairs and remakes. Naturally polishing and engraving along with retail sales are all a part of my business."
Something about Peter...some may not know but I am also a chef and have worked in hospitality for over 40 years on and off , mostly as a second job. Rugby and travel are two of my favourite pastimes.
