Proud to be Veggie? ...
Express your compassion with a made-to-order Vegan or Vegetarian inscribed jewellery piece.

Compassion is a major part of Kerstin Laibach's principles and naturally refers to the unnecessary harvesting and killing of living beings to make jewellery ...
... For the sake of vanity there is simply no need for it.

" All my jewellery is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. I don't use any animal derivatives in my pieces. Naturally, this also means I don't use marine animals like coral, or pearls extracted from molluscs etc.
During the jewellery construction process, the tools I use are free from animal derivatives. "*
Kerstin Laibach.

Atelier Laibach only uses recycled precious metals - never fresh mined. A genuine, ecologically responsible crafting process is realised to the finest detail.
We do not use findings (factory-made connectors or chains); we make every aspect of a piece by hand, including chains and closing mechanisms to ensure absolute vegan and environmental integrity ... and to maintain a refined and lasting quality to our pieces for generations.
The menu on the right right offers you a selection of designs to inspire you. If you don't see exactly what you wish for please get in touch and we will do our best to help.

As a vegan or vegetarian, your ethical preference can be spelt out in words or letters on a jewellery piece either loudly, using bold lettering, or by subtly drawing conversation to your piece as friends admire the intricate design pattern spelling out your chosen word. Whichever way, Kerstin Laibach can cater for either preference.
The design illustrations on our Veg*n Inscribed pages are based on recycled gold variants - with or without lab-created diamonds.

All new jewellery made by Atelier Laibach is suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and this of course also means partnership rings ... so please see our Wedding and Partnership Choices.

As with all Laibach jewellery, ten percent of your purchase is awarded to our chosen conservation and wildlife protection projects. See how we help.

Every design is hand-made to order. Necklaces, pendants, pins, earrings, rings and bracelets can be inscribed or embossed with various wordings or lettering. Please see our Prices and Options page for more details.

Vegan Integrity

* Based on the global standard definition of orthodox veganism, none of our jewellery contains any animal-derivatives. However, we endeavour to create a work environment which goes a step further. To the very best of our knowledge, and after thorough researching, our workshop tools used to construct our pieces do not contain any animal derivatives. However, after construction, polishing your piece might raise a moral issue for a small number of vegan customers. Although all our other polishing and buffing wheels are made of sisal or cotton and we use specially obtained animal fat free polishing paste, there is an essential goldsmith's preparatory polishing wheel which contains felt. This specifically prepares the foundation for a traditional glass finish to larger areas of a completed gold or silver piece (i.e. ring interiors). There is no direct non-felt alternative available for this process; however we are currently experimenting with our own non-felt alternatives. With adaptation to a finished Laibach piece we are able to cater for the exact ethical polishing needs of ultra-strict vegans by offering alternative finishes, thus avoiding the use of a felt buff. Therefore, if you require an alternative finish appropriate to your needs please contact us - or for more information see our Vegan Information Page

Our principles mean we give a completely honest answer about any ethical question relating to vegan requirements. We prefer to explain the more essential moral aspects of our creation process rather than hide any anomalies by simply not mentioning it ... We intend to offer our designs to the strictest vegan with a clear conscience. So, please let us know if you have any essential requirements regarding the construction of your piece when ordering.
