Dean and Lisa made the whole process of getting an engagement ring made for my Fiance so easy. Being a kiwi myself and having lived overseas for a number of years it was a breath of fresh air dealing with down to earth yet extremely professional Kiwi couple that Dean and Lisa are. Living overseas everything was done over Internet and phone and they just made the process so easy and enjoyable. The ring was amazing! So unique and such good quality and the most important thing my Fiance was blown away and loved it! Thank you so much Dean and Lisa.  - Mick, based in Spain.

"Thank you Dean and Lisa for your expertise in helping myself and my fiancé to choose our wedding bands. We didn't know what we wanted but definitely wanted something contemporary and sophisticated.Your patience and perceptive guidance helped us achieve something we never dreamt possible."

"Dean & Lisa, I just wanted to let you know that I purchased a sterling silver pendant with a Paua background with an outline of a tree from Kura Gallery in Taupo and not only do I love it but I have never had so many compliments or people wanting to steal a piece of jewellery off me!

Thank you for creating something so wonderful that has such impact. The tree means something different to everyone who sees it and I feel very special to be able to walk around with such a beautiful piece of art around my neck. It is so difficult to get jewellery that means something and is made of good quality sterling silver so I can wear it every day. Dean - you have a big fan in me!"

"I recently purchased an item from Dean Hawkins at Jewellery Works over the internet (I live in the USA). What attracted me to the piece was the classic simplicity. When it arrived I was stunned by what Dean had achieved, he has differentiated his works through a combination of unique raw material and inspired craftsmanship. In an age of "knockoffs" I found the real deal." - Dave, USA

"I came to New Zealand to set forth on my dream come true and Dean's designs match with my feeling so it also gives me a spiritual power. I can wear his ring naturally and comfortably as his work is simple with refined sensibilities. My wife is a fan of his jewellery too. I hope his jewellery inspires many people and we see it in Japan again"

"I absolutely love Dean's jewellery and prove it by wearing at least one piece every day!"
