Buying your lifelong wedding bands on-line ... An important word of assurance.

Buying wedding rings, or any type of jewellery on-line, can understandably raise concerns about quality, correct fitting and value for money. Choosing Laibach handmade ethical wedding rings, either via this website or in person, is an experience which should greatly reinstall confidence. Atelier Laibach offers a wealth of knowledge alongside a meticulously high standard of goldsmithing - all supported by unparalleled ethical principles.
Having already delighted wedding customers around the world, Kerstin Laibach wishes to assure her new on-line wedding clients that the personal service received should immediately put your mind at rest and hopefully exceed your expectations. Every last detail will be discussed with you before and throughout the making process.
Each Laibach ring is entirely handmade to your exact requirements. They are not cast and are extremely durable. Using time-honoured skills and holistic principles, Kerstin designs through the natural flow of thought and feeling and does not use jewellery design computer programmes. She provides individual attention and advice on the fine details regarding comfort, precious metal options and their long-term visual characteristics, surface structure and polishing ... and of course the ethics behind your piece. Kerstin will make your rings while taking the greenest route possible throughout the whole process. You will receive updates during the making process, and if necessary photos of your ring(s) are provided during key stages of crafting so you have options for adjustments before the next stage. This is all part of a genuine goldsmith-to-couple personal service and a world away from high street or web jewellers providing factory or batch-made bands.*

*Atelier Laibach now regularly answers crys for help from distressed couples who have experienced poor service and substandard quality from high street and on-line jewellers. A solution is always found ... turning a matrimonial ring disaster into a desirable ending .... or new beginning! You are welcome to get in touch if you have problem wedding bands.

Choosing wedding and partnership rings should not be a rushed decision.

Laibach ethical wedding rings and partnership rings can never be taken for granted, because whichever style you have chosen - classical, ethereal or contemporary - the principles by which they are made will always connect love, commitment and compassion ... a reassuring combination for a happy future.
Please look at The Laibach Principles on the main website to understand more about how Kerstin makes her pieces. This will give you an idea of what stones and materials can be used to craft your rings.
Kerstin offers a wide choice of recycled precious metals including: yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum, palladium or silver. Of course you may wish to include your old gold (often inherited worn-out or broken jewellery) to be integrated into your rings or simply used towards a recycling deposit towards your rings. If suitable, this can all be discussed and arranged.
Most importantly, take your time ... Out of all the materials and costs taken into consideration when planning your day, your rings are the most significant items that will truly become part of you for years to come. They need to feel right and should be made to last.

NOTE: Specific wedding and partnership client visits are sometimes possible. For more information please see our ordering page.
