Avril Lavigne and Mod Sun announced their engagement following a romantic proposal in Paris. The couple got engaged while riding down the Seine River in a private boat, surrounded by a violinist, Champagne and roses. Sharing the news, Avril revealed how her heart shaped diamond pavé engagement ring symbolises their Happy Ending.
I’m With You: Avril Lavigne’s Heart Shape Diamond Engagement Ring

Mod proposed with a custom designed heart shape diamond ring that features a diamond pavé band finished with heartfelt personal inscriptions.
‘He knew from the very beginning I wanted a heart shaped diamond’, Lavigne adds, ‘because on the day we met, we had matching heart shaped pavéd rings on. We’ve worn them every day since, so it’s only fitting to have a heart shaped engagement ring. I love it so much.’
Featuring a 5ct heart shape centre diamond set upon a dainty diamond pavé platinum band, this design is perfectly suited to Avril’s ‘punk-rock princess’ style and legacy. If set with a natural diamond, we estimate the ring to be worth approximately £250,000, or $325,000. If set with a lab grown diamond, we anticipate the ring would cost significantly less at around £45,000 or $60,000. The playful yet sentimental shape of the diamond embodies everything that love should be. And Lavigne isn’t the only star to sport a heart cut diamond. Nicki Minaj, Rochelle Humes, and Lady Gaga all have been know to have engagement rings that feature a heart shaped centre diamond.
Avril Lavigne’s heart diamond, which we estimate to be around 5 carats, is instantly recognisable as a symbol of love, with a silhouette that’s compelling beyond its inherent sweetness. The romantic shape combines aspects of several popular diamond shapes, with the soft curves of the oval and cushion, and the angular points found on a pear or marquise. With the diamond mounted on a clean and delicate diamond pavé band, this amorous diamond takes centre stage in the design. Avril’s ring highlights how special an engraving can be. Her fiancée Mod Sun had his first words to her as well as their names engraved on the ring, showcasing how an inscription can be one of the most heartfelt ways to personalise an engagement ring.
If you think Avril’s pop-punk ring is The Best Damn Thing, then take a look at our Dulcet heart engagement ring. This classic design is one of the most popular pieces in our signature collection and features a heart centre diamond held in eagle claws on a pavé platinum band. When set with a 1ct diamond, this ring currently costs around £6,250/$6,500. Contemporary and graceful, the Dulcet has an ultra thin band and claws, allowing the maximum amount of light to sparkle and reflect through the solitaire diamond.
