Peter began his goldsmithing career in Southern Ontario in 1984, when he joined W.J. Shaw Jewelers as an apprentice.
Training under Austrian Master Goldsmith Eugene Tuchel, Peter learned the traditional skills of the trade from the bench up – from ring sizing and chain repairs to stone setting, restoration and custom jewellery manufacturing.
He progressed from apprentice to Workshop Manager and Head Goldsmith, later establishing his own jewellery business and going on to train apprentices himself.
Today, that experience sits behind every piece that comes across the New Life Jewellery Services workbench.
Every repair is different.
Send Peter a few details about your jewellery, along with clear photographs where possible, and he can provide an initial assessment of the work that may be required.
For more complicated repairs, precious-metal work or custom fabrication, an individual estimate can be provided before work begins.

Ring sizing, shank repairs, claw work, re-tipping, stone setting and resetting.
