Rumours are swirling that Adele and her partner Rich Paul are engaged, with reports suggesting a summer wedding is on the cards. The singer, 34, has been spotted wearing a substantial diamond ring on her wedding finger, fuelling speculation. The ring, an approximately 8-carat pear-cut diamond on a platinum band, is estimated to be worth over half a million pounds, according to gemologist Alexandra Michell.
The couple, who went public with their relationship two years ago, have not officially confirmed the engagement. However, online gossip site Deux Moi reported the news from a 'very reliable source'. Adele first debuted the ring at the BRIT Awards in February 2022, hinting at a longer engagement than previously thought.
While Adele's ring is impressive, it pales in comparison to some of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings. Mariah Carey's 35-carat diamond ring, gifted by ex-fiancé James Packer, is valued at a staggering £9 million, making it the most expensive celebrity engagement ring of all time. The ring was reportedly sold to a Los Angeles jeweller for £1.7 million in 2018, with Carey's camp citing a desire to move forward without emotional and material baggage.
Other notable rings include those of Jennifer Lopez and Paris Hilton, whose combined ring values run into millions. The list highlights that even when marriages don't go as planned, the sparklers can be worth a fortune.
