Lily Allen still wears a diamond ring given to her by ex-boyfriend Ed Simons.

The “It’s Not Fair” singer, who sparked rumors of an engagement with the Chemical Brothers star last year when she was regularly seen sporting the rock on her ring finger, puts the solitaire band on everyday because she is terrified of losing it.

She said: “Ed, my ex-boyfriend, gave me a diamond ring which I still wear pretty much everyday. I always have this diamond ring from Ed and my little emerald ring from my mother that I got for my 17th birthday. I’m quite precious about my jewelry. Although I always lose jewelry on flights because I’m sleeping.”

However, the 24-year-old pop star has not always been so protective of her expensive accessories. She explained to More magazine:

“My grandmother gave me a sovereign ring about two weeks before my 16th birthday, and I was so broke at the time, I pawned it. I felt really, really bad and had every intention of buying it back as soon as I had the money! That same birthday, my brother, completely without realizing, had gone to the local pawn shop to buy me a birthday present and bought me the exact same ring. It’s like it was destined to be. I’ll hold that one close forever. God, if I lost that I’d feel awful.”
