Avril Lavigne is officially engaged to her longtime partner, Mod Sun, after sharing the exciting news with fans on Instagram. In a romantic series of photos, the singer showed off a dazzling heart-shaped diamond engagement ring alongside the caption: “Oui! Je t’aime pour toujours 🤍💍🥂Dimanche. 27. Mars. 2022.”
Mod proposed with a bespoke ring designed by Beverly Hills-based jeweller XIV Karats, featuring a stunning heart-shaped diamond set on a delicate pavé band. Adding a deeply personal touch, the ring is engraved with the words “Hi Icon” – the first thing Mod ever said to Avril – as well as “Mod + Avril” on the inside of the band.
To uncover more about the standout sparkler, Zack Stone, leading diamond expert at Steven Stone, took a closer look at the design, craftsmanship, and estimated value.
“Avril Lavigne’s heart shaped engagement ring features a huge white diamond which looks to be around 5ct. It’s set on a thin pave band which accentuates the size of the stone, making it look even more spectacular. I would estimate it’s worth around £350,000 to £400,000 depending on the exact quality of the stone.
Heart shaped rings are no doubt romantic as they illustrate the traditional symbol of love, and the story behind why Mod Sun chose this is very sentimental.
Interestingly, they aren’t the most popular cut of diamond, with only a few other celebrities opting for a similar design. Lady Gaga received a gorgeous 6ct heart-shaped engagement ring from Taylor Kinney in 2015, whilst Gwen Stefani received one from Gavin Rossdale in 2002, although both couples unfortunately split.”

And while this ring is a show-stopper, this isn’t the first one Avril Lavigne has received.
Back in 2012, Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger gave her a whopping14ct diamond reportedly worth $350,000, which he then upgraded to a 17-ct stone on their anniversary in 2014.
She also received a ring from Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley, who proposed with a 4ct diamond solitaire in 2005.
