Aesthetically, Adele was a vision — of style, elegance, and perhaps something else too, according to folks who speculated furiously about the meaning behind this enormous diamond on her left-hand ring finger.
Since the "Easy on Me" singer is currently in a relationship with sports agent Rich Paul, whom she's been spotted enjoying various pro basketball games with over the past six months or so, people naturally started to wonder if Adele's ring meant the notably private couple had gotten engaged.
