Unparalleled ethical choice for handmade bridal and partnership jewellery

Ethical goldsmith luminary, Kerstin Laibach has expanded her online portfolio to offer truly sustainable choices for smart-thinking wedding and partnership couples.

The new bridal and partnership pages highlight Laibach’s advanced ecological principles, a wealth of information for couples seeking deeper ethical harmony between the natural world and the rings they will wear for life. There is also metallurgical advice to help dispel myths about precious metal allergies and how to avoid the pitfalls of plated and cast jewellery, plus comprehensive info on the characteristics and colours of precious metals.

Kerstin Laibach’s unique approach in pure ethical jewellery craft prudently avoids any greenwash. She never uses new-mined precious metals or gems of any kind. All aspects of her holistic jewellery making processes are earth and animal friendly – entirely vegan, with every last detail of her stunning designs hand-forged only from recycled precious metals, producing extraordinary tactile comfort. Nothing is cast, no computer aids, no factory parts and obviously no damaging chemicals used, resulting in the most sustainable high-precision goldsmith artistry available.

Such distinctive ethical integrity introduces a new level of exclusivity for wedding couples. “It’s not about the monetary value of a ring’s precious metals and gems and its short-lived rhodium enhanced sparkle which should decide a purchase”, says Kerstin. “I create jewellery as an artist, not as a brand - and as such enter into a close liaison with my couples to ensure the exact rings of their wishes while guiding them along a genuinely green path.”

For ethical and sentimental value, Kerstin encourages partners to consider their family related old unwanted gold and stones to be integrated into their new rings.

15% of her profits go to wildlife and environmental protection including land-care education / sustainability projects in developing countries, helping subsistence based communities to protect complex eco-systems instead of digging it up for gold.
