KAY Jewelers has expanded its existing partnership with leading luxury bridal designer Monique Lhuillier to launch a new assortment of non-bridal jewelry. This initiative builds upon the previous Monique Lhuillier Bliss collaboration, which focused on engagement rings and wedding bands.
The new KAY Jewelers x Monique Lhuillier Bliss capsule features earrings, necklaces, and bracelets that incorporate motifs characteristic of the designer’s aesthetic — from delicate floral patterns and butterflies to intricate lace details. The pieces in the collection are crafted from lab-grown diamonds set in gold- and platinum-plated sterling silver.
Monique Lhuillier shares about this collaboration: "This collection is incredibly close to my heart, as it was inspired by the romantic details my bridal designs are known for and translates them into jewelry that can be cherished well beyond the wedding day. It can style a bride on her perfect day, serve as meaningful gifts for the bridal party, or become timeless pieces that bring a little sparkle to everyday.”
