“We are continuously working on new product development and new styles to add to the collection. The plan is to introduce new styles to the Monique Lhuillier Bliss collection throughout the year,” Kay Jewelers said.
Every style features a band of diamonds around the lower part of the ring’s shank, a symbol of unity and eternal love, said the company.
The rings also have Lhuillier’s “XO” signature, her own love note to the couple, as well as a brand logo on the inside of the band.
“Monique’s inspiring aesthetic combined with our expert craftsmanship allowed us to create a jewelry line couples will yearn over, especially for those who appreciate the art of fashion,” said Jamie Singleton, president of Kay Jewelers, in a press release.
This is not the first time a Signet-owned store has partnered with a popular fashion designer on a bridal collection.
“Love by Vera Wang” has been a consistently strong performer for Zales for years and Kay previously partnered with gown designer Adrianna Papell on a bridal collection.
Jared the Galleria of Jewelry, another Signet-owned brand, teamed up with bridal gown designer Pnina Tornai on an engagement ring collection last November.
The Monique Lhuillier Bliss collection of engagement rings are set in 18-karat white, rose, or yellow gold with a few options for a center stone, including round, princess-cut, oval, pear, emerald and marquise.
The diamonds are of near colorless, SI2 clarity.
The collection is perfect for those looking to propose or drop a helpful hint to a significant other, said Lhuillier, highlighting its blend of romance and whimsy.
“It is a dream come true to work alongside Kay Jewelers to launch an exclusive collection that not only incorporates my designs into a jewelry line, but also offers more ways to express love and be part of life’s most special moments,” said Lhuillier.
“The ring collection is romantic and ethereal with my special touches and signature accents.”
Total carat weights range from 5/8 total carat weight to 2-1/8 total carat weight, with prices ranging from $999 to $18,999.
The collection is available at select Kay locations and on its website.
