The special “Monique Lhuillier Bliss & Kay Jewelers” collection, made of 18-karat white gold, included a necklace, ring, bracelet, and earrings set with 350 lab-grown diamonds totaling around 97 carats. Inspired by Lhuillier’s bridal collections, the garments featured elaborate flower designs, lace-like patterns, and a feminine style.
The furniture was auctioned in separate pieces, garnering $55,000 in total, less than the $132,000 estimate. The necklace fetched $30,000, the earrings $15,000, and the ring $10,000, but the bracelet remained unsold.
Lisa Ingram, Signet’s vice president of merchandising, took delight in supporting Baby2Baby‘s purpose, saying, “We’re thrilled to have contributed to such a meaningful cause with a one-of-a-kind jewellery ensemble that aligns with our values and the community’s needs.”
Lhuillier, a Baby2Baby board member and dedicated kid advocate, explained why she was attending the event. “As a mother, I am emotionally attached to Baby2Baby’s work to aid children in need. “Designing this collection allowed me to combine creativity and purpose while also giving back to low-income families,” she explained.
The 2024 Baby2Baby event, which was attended by celebrities, philanthropists, and business leaders, raised an incredible $17.1 million. These money will enable the nonprofit to give vital things such as diapers, formula, and clothing to children in need across the United States.
