Crafting Rings, Celebrating Memories
Our Story
We Couldn't Find the Perfect Ring... So We Made It
So, here's the deal: we're Dan and Laura, and we're the kind of people who believe in epic love stories. When we were looking for the ring, you know, the one that seals the deal on forever, we were...underwhelmed. Everything felt cookie-cutter, like it was designed by a robot for robots. We wanted something with soul, with character, with a story as unique as ours (and yours!). It all started at that very vineyard where we got engaged. They let us take home a piece of one of their discarded wine barrels that day, Laura being a fashion designer and Dan an engineer, we decided to put our heads together and craft it into Dan's wedding ring. That's how Mondeu was born—a mission to source unique vintage wine barrels from around the world, and use them to craft wedding bands for couples like us, who refuse to settle for the ordinary.

Founded on Trust
Okay, so picture this: We're in North Georgia, at a really beautiful vineyard. Sunset. Golden hour. And Dan's got this whole thing planned out, right? A path of flowers, the whole thing. Laura is trying not to trip in her heels, and Dan's triple-checking the ring box in his pocket. Long story short... she said yes! But Dan, being the sentimental guy he is, couldn't just leave this place without taking a little piece of it with us. So, we snagged a bit of a discarded wine barrel (don't worry, we asked!). And that very piece of wood was turned it into the first-ever Mondeu ring. We're talking handcrafted in our tiny apartment, with a whole lot of ambition and zero power tools. That's how it started - with a moment, a memory, and a really persistent belief that wedding rings could be so much more.
