Avril Lavigne Just Got Engaged in Paris With a Surprising Ring Trend

If you, too, remember every word to “Sk8er Boi,” you’ll be pleased to hear that Avril Lavigne has some exciting news. She just announced on Instagram that she and singer Mod Sun are engaged (his real name is Derek Ryan Smith, by the way). Luckily for us, Lavigne also shared several photos from the Parisian proposal.

The adorable photos show the couple getting engaged smack-dab in front of the Eiffel Tower. How sweet is that? As for Lavigne’s engagement ring, it features a beautiful heart-shaped diamond. According to data from the International Gem Society, heart-shaped diamonds aren’t one of the most popular engagement ring styles. Instead, the list includes round, square, rectangle, cushion-cut, Asscher-cut, and marquise-cut diamonds. Plus, considering Lavigne’s penchant for the grunge aesthetic, a cutesy heart-shaped ring wasn’t exactly what I was expecting, but I love it all the same. Scroll down to see the engagement photos and shop for heart jewelry. 

Gucci jewelry? Yes, please. 

David Yurman never gets it wrong. 

None other than Bella Hadid owns this ring. 

This would look so cute with a summery white blouse. 

You can’t go wrong with pearls. 

How adorable are these heart-shaped earrings? 

This one is certainly engagement-worthy. 

Why wait for someone to buy you jewelry when you can buy your own? 

Jennifer Meyer is the queen of understated jewelry. 

I adore this emerald center stone. 

Another winner. 

This reminds me of Tiffany & Co. charm bracelets that I could never afford growing up. 

These earrings are a steal at $22. 

I’d wear this with a simple white crewneck tee. 

These dainty earrings are just too cute. 

Swap out your basic gold hoops for these fun versions. 

These look double the price. 

Sleek and simple.
