Renowned bridal and fashion designer Monique Lhuillier has added lab-grown diamond engagement rings and bands to her fine jewellery collection that is available exclusively at Kay Jewelers.

“Lab-created diamonds are becoming increasingly popular among consumers looking for an impactful stone when designing the ring of their dreams,” said Lhuillier. “With this new category debut, I have showcased my signature designs with larger carat weights while remaining accessible to the Kay consumer.”

The new Monique Lhuillier BLISS Lab-Created Diamonds Collection features independently certified, colourless lab-grown diamonds set in 18-karat gold. 

The collection consists of 12 engagement ring styles, six universal matching bands and three women's lab-grown diamond bands. The engagement rings feature round, princess-cut, oval, emerald and pear-shaped lab-grown centre diamonds set in 18-karat yellow, rose or white gold. 

Available on Kay’s website and select stores, the pieces retail for US$1,099.99 to US$18,999.99.

"Monique Lhuillier knows the modern consumer and that is embodied in every design she creates for the Monique Lhuillier BLISS bridal jewellery collection. She strives to create elegance in everything she does, which is why her designs are seen around the world from red carpet premieres to VIP brides. With the new Monique Lhuillier BLISS Lab-Created Diamonds Collection, she continues to expand her reach by offering consumers elevated designs and larger looks to choose from,” said Bill Brace, president of Kay Jewelers.
