A Guide to Adele’s Engagement Ring

After three years of dating, Adele officially announced her engagement to American sports agent Rich Paul in August 2024. The British singer said “Yes!” when Paul gave her a sparkling pear-shaped diamond engagement ring. Adele’s recent engagement has led to more people looking for pear engagement rings to ask that all-important question. 

Diamond Heaven’s guide goes into detail about Adele’s engagement ring.

Who Was Adele Previously Married To?

Previously, Adele was married to charity boss Simon Konecki after being together from 2011 before she filed for divorce in April 2019. However, there is no known public information about the engagement ring Adele previously had as it was kept under wraps. Over their eight-year relationship, Adele welcomed her first child, Angelo, in October 2012, of whom they both share custody over.

When Did Adele and Rich Paul Start Dating?

Adele went public with her relationship with Rich Paul in mid-2021. The newly engaged couple appeared in public for the first time courtside during the 2021 NBA Finals, involving the Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks. Since then, Adele has made many references to Paul on social media and at her Las Vegas Residency over the past few years. Fans were ecstatic when she announced she was getting married on stage in Munich as a fan proposed to the star, and she replied: ‘I can’t marry you because I’m already getting married’, revealing the stunning engagement ring that has everyone talking.

Who Designed Adele’s Engagement Band?

American jewellery designer Lorraine Schwartz designed Adele’s pear-shaped engagement band. Schwartz had previously created engagement rings for Blake Lively, Beyonce and Kim Kardashian. Adele’s pear diamond ring showcases her preference for classic and contemporary fashion and jewellery styles. In public, Adele is known for her signature black dress, complete with designer jewellery, merging vintage and modern styles seamlessly.

What Setting is Adele’s Engagement Ring?

Adele’s engagement ring features an elegant claw setting holding the estimated 10 ct pear diamond, allowing maximum fire and brilliance from the pear-shaped diamond centre stone. The engagement ring features a dainty shoulder set of pave-set diamonds on the band, bringing additional sparkle to the ring. It is the perfect blend of glamour and intricate design which makes it the perfect setting for Adele.

How Many Carats is Adele’s Pear-Shaped Engagement Ring?

When Adele wore her pear-shaped engagement ring in public, the band was estimated to be about 8 to 10 carats. Many are estimating it to be closer to the 10ct weight. The pear centre diamond is of very high quality and many have said it is likely to have a D colour grade and an IF clarity grade, which would explain why we are seeing such a stunning sparkle coming off it as she continues to wear it proudly on her marital finger.

Which Metal Was Used for Adele’s Engagement Ring?

Platinum is the metal used for Adele’s pear-cut diamond engagement ring. The durability and strength of platinum are the perfect choice for an elongated diamond shape such as the elegant pear-cut diamond Adele has in comparison to gold or other softer precious metals.

How Much is Adele’s Engagement Ring Worth?

Jewellers have estimated that Adele’s pear-shaped engagement ring is worth between $500,000 to $1 million (£390,945 to £781,891 in British pound sterling). It makes this one engagement ring to remember for 2024, and the team at Diamond Heaven say congratulations to Adele on her engagement.
