AKRON, Ohio, Oct. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Monique Lhuillier is excited to introduce lab-created diamond engagement rings and bands to her Monique Lhuillier BLISS fine jewelry collection, exclusively available at KAY Jewelers.

With everything she does, Monique Lhuillier strives to give her brides the very best when selecting a special piece, especially when it comes to their engagement jewelry.

"Lab-created diamonds are becoming increasingly popular among consumers looking for an impactful stone when designing the ring of their dreams. When I first saw samples of lab-created diamonds, I was amazed by the brilliance and purity. With this new category debut, I have showcased my signature designs with larger carat weights while remaining accessible to the KAY consumer. The new wave of luxury jewelry is here – a modern approach to a timeless sentiment of love," says Monique Lhuillier.

The new Monique Lhuillier BLISS Lab-Created Diamonds collection features independently certified, colorless lab-created diamonds set in 18K gold. The collection consists of twelve engagement ring styles, six universal matching bands, and three women's lab-created diamond bands. The engagement rings feature round, princess-cut, oval, emerald and pear shaped lab-created center diamonds set in 18K yellow gold, 18K rose gold, and 18K white gold. All KAY diamonds, whether natural or lab-created are conflict-free as verified by the KAY Promise. KAY's rigorous procedures ensure that products are responsibly sourced from vendor to the store.
