Laibach's Ten Year Threshold Principle

How any ethical threshold is measured and therefore considered to be effective towards environmental protection can sometimes lead to contention. But Atelier Laibach believes that it has found a generally accepted ethical balance when dealing with previously used jewellery as part of the Laibach restoration, redesigning or recycling service.

We will not generally take on the reprocessing of nearly new jewellery containing recently mined precious stones, I.e. pieces less than ten years old. We feel that a piece should have undergone some long-term appreciation by its owner; that the precious materials extracted from our fragile earth years before have been treated with a sense of respect and gratitude. On this principle, your old jewellery over ten years old that contain mined precious stones, such as diamonds, can be restored or else completely deconstructed and redesigned into something to suit your taste. We must repeat however, that lost stones etc cannot be substituted with new (based on Laibach ethics). Used stones or lab-created options can however be used as substitutes, either supplied by you the customer, or by Atelier Laibach in some cases.

Repair work on any age jewellery is undertaken by Laibach. Lost stones are replaced by old stones or lab-created gems at your request.
