Two years ago, Adele and Rich Paul went public with their relationship. Since then, Adele has not been coy about letting the world know exactly how she feels about her sports agent honey. Last December, during one of her Weekends With Adele shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for her Vegas residency, she stood onstage and said, "I love him more than life itself, so can we wish him happy birthday? His name's Rich!" That’s quite a declaration. But now it looks like they are making it official and planning a summer wedding and OMG, the ring on her finger!

The news was shared by DeuxMoi, an online gossip site, which assures the info came from a “very reliable source.” Squee! The interesting thing is that Adele has been wearing a GIANT engagement ring since around February of 2022. That could mean that the couple was engaged this whole time and just kept it to themselves. OK, so here’s what we know about Adele’s expensive ring that’s looking more and more like it’s an engagement ring.
The first time anyone noticed Adele wearing the ring was at the 2022 Brit Awards.
She wore the ginormous ring on her ring finger like it was no big thang, when in actuality it is a very big thing. Experts are saying that it is anywhere from 8 to 10 carats. The thing is, celebrities do wear borrowed jewelry to events all the time, so it could have been a loaner. But then Adele kept wearing the ring even after the awards ceremony.
The ring was designed by Lorraine Schwartz.
Lorraine Schwartz is a super-high-end jewelry designer. She’s created expensive baubles for the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, and Kim Kardashian. The people on Lorraine Schwartz’s team told Page Six that the matching earrings Adele wore to the 2022 Brit Awards were about 50 carats. They did not give any details about the ring, though.
In October 2022, Adele was asked about the giant diamond ring on her finger.
“Well! Well. Well, I'm not married,” she told Elle UK at the time. Interesting choice of words, since they were asking if it was an engagement ring, not if she was married. But she did later add, “I'm not engaged. I just love high-end jewelry, boy!”
Close-up and details.
According to gemologist Alexandra Michell, "Adele is rocking an approx. 8cts pear cut diamond on a fine platinum band and simple 4 claw setting. The band itself is pave set with small round brilliants on either side of the center stone. A beautiful design where the pear shape stone diamond really stands out.”
Let’s talk money!
A ring like that does not come cheap. But just how much could it possibly be worth? “This one looks sparkly on all fronts, and makes us believe it would be very high quality indeed,” Rare Carat COO Apeksha Kothari told Page Six. We’ll take her word for it, because we just don’t have it like that financially.
