The new rings added to the “Monique Lhuillier Bliss” collection feature pink, blue, and yellow lab-grown diamonds.
The collection is exclusive to Signet Jewelers-owned Kay Jewelers and includes trendier bridal styles, like the two-stone ring (pictured at left) set with a lab-grown pink and white diamond.
The new rings in the collection feature lab-grown colored diamonds as both center and side stones, as seen here in the ring in the middle.
The lab-grown colored diamond rings range in price from about $4,100 to $7,300.
The brand shared the new collection with press and influencers during an event held Wednesday at a Maman café location in New York.
Lhuillier first collaborated with Kay Jewelers on an exclusive bridal jewelry line in 2021, later expanding it in 2023 to add colored gemstones and black diamonds, and then lab-grown diamonds.
“We’re incredibly excited to partner with Monique Lhuillier to bring the first colored lab-created diamond collection to Kay as part of the Monique Lhuillier Bliss Collection,” Kay Jewelers President Bill Brace said in a statement.
“Monique’s unique vision and commitment to elegance are perfectly captured in these stunning, colorful lab-created diamonds. This collection represents a bold step forward, blending classic sophistication with modern innovation, and aligns perfectly with our goal of offering modern couples a range of truly exceptional, unique, and personalized choices for their special moments.”
The new additions to the collection range in price from about $4,100 to $7,300.
