Okay everyone you know Kim Kardashian and you know she loves her bling. Well recently on The Kardashians show she dropped some interesting news about her engagement rings . Specifically she's got a plan for what's going to happen to at least one of those famous sparklers and it involves her daughter North. Intrigued? Let's dive into the dazzling details.
Passing Down the Sparkle: North West to Inherit Kim's First Kanye Engagement Ring
Kim was chatting with her sister Khloé about jewelry naturally when the topic of her engagement rings came up. Turns out Kim still has her first engagement ring from Kanye West the one he proposed with way back when she was pregnant with North. Remember that one? It was a cushion-cut beauty a cool 15 carats!
And guess what Kim is planning to pass this ring down to North! How sweet is that? She explained that she feels it's the most meaningful ring because North was there when Kanye proposed. Little baby North even held the ring after the proposal and Kim took a photo to remember the moment. Talk about a family heirloom!
This particular ring is extra special to Kim for another reason too. It was the only piece of jewelry she owned that wasn't stolen during that terrible robbery in Paris in 2016. She had left this one at home which in retrospect was a lucky thing.
Ring Security Advice from Kanye? A Glimpse into Their Past
Kim even shared a funny little anecdote about that first Kanye ring. Apparently she once wore both her first and second engagement rings from Kanye at the same time in an Instagram video. Kanye saw it and was not thrilled. He told her "Don’t you ever wear both of your rings at the same time. Are you looking to get robbed?” Yikes! Even back then security was a major concern in Kim's world.
Speaking of the second ring from Kanye that was a massive 20-carat emerald-cut stunner. Sadly that's the one that was stolen in Paris. Authorities believe it was broken down and sold off. But for Kim it's clear the first cushion-cut ring is the one that truly holds sentimental value and that's why it's destined for North.
Drama with the Kris Humphries Ring: The One That Got Away (and Why)
While North might be getting a future heirloom there is another engagement ring from Kim's past that is definitely not part of the family jewels anymore. We're talking about the ring from Kris Humphries. Remember that 72-day marriage? Yeah that one.
Kim revealed that she had to give back her 18-carat emerald-cut engagement ring from Kris as part of their divorce settlement. Ouch. To make things even more interesting Kim said she actually paid for most of that ring herself! Apparently Kris only "contributed a fifth" of the cost. Her hairstylist Chris Appleton even called that situation "savage". It definitely sounds like it.
So while Kim might joke about wanting to collect engagement rings it seems like the Kris Humphries experience left a bit of a sour taste. At least she has some incredible rings from Kanye and a plan to pass one down to North keeping a piece of that history in the family.
