Craftsmanship shaped by experience
Craftsmanship, decades of experience and the creative insight of master diamond cutter Pieter Bombeke give his work a distinctive character.
Alongside the classic round brilliant, Pieter has developed original cuts that explore light in a different way. The Dreamcatcher, Jacob’s Ladder and Xiao Long are among the designs that reflect this enduring curiosity.
Since 1967
A life in diamond cutting
Pieter began his profession in Antwerp in 1967, following an apprenticeship with his grandfather, who was also a diamond cutter. Like every cutter, he first mastered the round brilliant before pursuing his own ideas for new shapes and proportions.
By the late 1980s, his combination of precision and creativity brought requests for bespoke cuts from clients of different sizes. While working from Germany, he also shared his knowledge with a new generation of diamond cutters.
In 2001, Pieter established his workshop in Antwerp’s diamond district. From there, he continues to develop custom cuts — sometimes for a specific request, sometimes from a pure desire to discover what a diamond can become.
A shared craft
Knowledge is part of the work
Pieter is known for his willingness to share his knowledge of diamond cutting. Through demonstrations and conversations with visitors, he continues to pass on the fascination for a craft that rewards patience, precision and imagination.
