Avril Lavigne's Heart Shape Diamond Engagement Ring

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.

It has the words ‘Hi Icon’ engraved inside which were the first words he ever said to me. And it has Mod + Avril on the inside.It has the words ‘Hi Icon’ engraved in it which were the first words he ever said to me. And it has Mod + Avril on the inside.

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.
