Adele Sparks Engagement Buzz with Dazzling 12-Carat Ring — Guess the Jaw-Dropping Price
Adele is currently in a relationship with sports agent Rich Paul. Rumors of their engagement have swirled after she was spotted wearing a stunning 12-carat diamond ring. Adele subtly addressed an engagement at a recent concert, sparking widespread speculation. Jewelers have been able to estimate the ring’s cost now that they’ve gotten a peek at the piece. Here’s what we know about Adele’s possible engagement and new bling.
Adele and Rich Paul went public with their relationship in 2021 at the NBA Finals, where they watched the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns battle it out. Since then, the pair has fueled excitement among fans about the possibility of the “Skyfall” singer tying the knot again. Adele and Paul originally met years prior at a party, where the now-36-year-old said she was “a bit drunk” and asked him, “Do you want to sign me? I’m an athlete now.”
Since then, fans have spotted the couple at many NBA games, dinners, and vacations. Adele told Elle Magazine in 2022, “I’ve never been in love like this. I’m obsessed with him.” During her Las Vegas residency in September 2023, she called Paul her “husband” while addressing a fan. Then, the London native began wearing a pear-shaped ring in July 2024.
Maxwell Stone of Steven Stone Jewelers calls her piece “massive” and seemingly the same 12-carat pear-shaped stone she wore to the BRITs Awards in 2022. The London-based jeweler continues, “It might indeed be Adele’s engagement ring from Rich. Otherwise, it’s a remarkable sum to spend on an everyday ring. It would also be an extraordinary coincidence to have two identical rings.” Set on a pave diamond band, Stone estimates the ring to cost $1.5 million.
During Adele’s performance on August 9, she further fueled speculation of an engagement with this specific ring. The “Hello” singer read a fan’s sign that read, “Will you marry me?” Adele responded, “I can’t marry you ’cause I’m already married” as she held up her left hand with the pear-shaped piece on her ring finger.
Stone explains that a pear-shaped diamond “exudes both sophistication and individuality,” things Adele is known for. Victoria Beckham’s 17-carat piece is one of the most famous pear engagement rings. Jewelers estimates its worth at $4.8 million.
Other celebrities with pear-shaped diamond rings: Elizabeth Taylor (married to Richard Burton at the time), Ariana Grande (engaged to Pete Davidson), Cardi B (from rapper Offset), Margot Robbie (married to Tom Ackerley), Paris Hilton (engaged to actor Chris Zylka), and Emily Ratajkowski (married to Sebastian Bear-McClard at the time).
