Congrats to Avril Lavigne and Mod Sun, who got engaged in Paris last month!

Mod Sun rocked Avril Lavigne’s ring. The diamond appears to be at least 6 carats of pure heart-shaped perfection. Colorless (DEF color) and super eye clean – I expect VVS clarity. A natural diamond ring of this quality would begin around $600,000-$700,00, and could be worth significantly more, depending upon its actual 4Cs. Most importantly, this heart cut diamond is perfectly shaped – a real rarity in hearts! Check out its beautiful outline and nice plump “lobes.” You can see how well cut this stunner is from the pics – you can even see colored sparkle from a still photo – amazing!

The setting appears to be platinum, with glittering pave accents and nice sharp claw prongs. Classic, timeless, and really makes the center stone stand out. I can see just the hint of a decorative gallery on the side, making me think there is likely some beautiful filigree. Galleries and basket settings also help make an engagement ring very comfortable to wear. Great job, Mod!

Want a ring inspired by Avril’s new sparkler, but hoping for a more affordable price? A great way to get max bang for your buck – and a huge rock! – is to consider a lab created diamond. Here is a list of great options with max beauty and value. This 3.25ct H/VS1, available as of this article’s writing, is a particular dynamo! It faces up closer to 4ct, and with its beautiful blue nuance, it looks like icy colorless at a fraction of the cost. Pair it with our Diana or even our Talia for a look just like Avril Lavigne’s ring, for around only $8k!
